  • Workout #19 (Cardio)

    27 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym at about 5:50. Today was a cardio morning and I had a good workout. The time actually flew by because most of it was spent thinking about the new story I am working on. The gym was a bit more crowded this morning than it was yesterday–I…

  • Workout #18 (Chest & back)

    26 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I was in bed before 8 last night and I was up at 4:30 this morning and I felt pretty rested. The gym was empty this morning, and I had the entire weight room virtually to myself. I wish it was like that every morning, and I shudder to think what it’s going to be…

  • Wrap up

    26 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I went to see The Good Shepard this afternoon. It was okay, but I liked Rocky Balboa better. I guess I don’t normally go out on Christmas, because I figured I stop at the bookstore next to the theater: and it was closed. In fact, every store was closed. Even the grocery store was closed…

  • Workout #17 (Arms & shoulders)

    23 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Jen and Jason were kind enough to let me use their gym, New York Sports Club, this morning and we all went into work out about an hour after eating breakfast. The amenities of their gym (lockers, towels, etc.) are nicer than my gym but I didn’t like the layout of the workout rooms: many…

  • Workout #16 (Cardio)

    22 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 after actually getting to bed before 9 PM last night. Still, I must have been in a deep sleep because my alarm actually went off. I was into the gym and started on my cardio routine by 5:50.

  • Workout #15 (lower body)

    21 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:25 after once again going to bed later than I should have last night. I felt sluggish this morning, but I muddled my way through breakfast and I was into the gym just before 6 AM. It wasn’t as busy as usual this morning, I guess some people are starting their holiday vacations…

  • Workout #14 (Cardio)

    20 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I didn’t get to bed at 8:30 last night–or even close; I needed some time to relax before I went to sleep and it turned out that I didn’t go to sleep until close to 11 PM. I also forgot to set my alarm, but I rarely need my alarm to wake up anyway, and…

  • Workout #13 (Chest & back w/Bernard)

    20 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Tonight was the last of the 8 additional sessions I’d purchased with Bernard. But I am doing so good, and he’s been helping quite a bit, I decided to sign up for 8 more sessions. Since I’m meeting with him every 8-10 days now, these next 8 sessions should take me until close to March.…

  • Workout #12 (Cardio)

    18 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:30 and into the gym by 5:50 AM for my cardio workout. I was on a different elliptical machine and my heart rate was higher on that machine than the machine I usually use and it makes me wonder if one of the machines is miscalibratated. I did 40 minutes, burning 504 calories…

  • Workout #11 (Arms and shoulders)

    17 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I got to the gym around 4:15 this afternoon and it was pretty empty. Even the weight room was empty, which was nice for a change (especially in that weight room, which isn’t nearly as nice as the one that I usually go to by work). I had a pretty good workout, but some soreness…

  • Workout #10 (Cardio)

    15 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:25 once again and into the gym just before 6 AM. And now I’ve been to the gym every workday this week! I like mornings much better than afternoons and I was at the gym in the morning 4 out of 5 times this week. I think I’m going to keep that up,…

  • Workout #9 (chest & back)

    14 Dec 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:25 this morning and that made enough of a difference for me to catch the first train after 5 AM. It got me down to the gym about 10 minutes earlier and I didn’t feel as rushed today. Today I focused on chest and back and because I didn’t feel as rushed, I…
