Day Two

OK, so today Gary (one of the instructors) from American Family had the family and I start out at the "University" downstairs to learn the machines. Thank goodness for Gary cause I would have been seated backwards on the bench press. For those of you new to working out...Reps is the amount of times you push, pull, or do something in a row. Sets are counted how many times we repeated the reps.
We did a full body work out (First time around, light weights 1 set, with 12 reps) with a 30 minute cardio workout on the elliptical.
The kids were begging to go in the pool, which gave me an excuse to relax for a bit. My Son and I finished with a 12 minute steam room visit. That was great for the pores and the body.
And I'm sore at the end of the night so we'll see what happens tomorrow when I feel like a truck ran over me.

Exercise Tip:
Every night while watching TV, tighten up your abs during the commercial breaks as follows;
Tighten every other commercial. Since commercial breaks are usually 3 minutes or less you may be doing "1 rep and 2 sets". This will have your tummy flat in 8 months...if you cut back on the fries. Good Luck!
