New Gym


Well husband and I went by Gold's Gym and signed up for 24 months. We went together tonight for a quick run through. I worked cardio on the eliptical ski and did biceps curls, tricep presses, calf presses and wrist curls. Husband skipped the cardio and ran 5 sets cold. I am certainly going to have work on the wrists; the residuals from the stroke are very apparent as is the carpal tunnel trying to get me. My left wrist and right wrist have different weaknesses for sure and the left one is going to need some work. When the burn comes, it hits on the top of the wrist and in the elbow. The right one on the other hand burns where it is supposed to but is the one with some residual nerve damage and I have to watch for it losing all sensation and feeling; it is the one that has caused many a bowl and casserole dish to hit the tile floor. But all in all it went good. I was pleased to see that my legs are still strong and as always the arms are the weak area. Strange to be able to break concrete with your hand but not be able to to do good bicep curls. But there you have it....good ole unique individuality.
