I am surprised how easy it has been to get back into the gym routine. The last time I belonged to a gym...well, it was the heyday of disco and the Jazzercise classes played Earth Wind and Fire. I was in my 20s. The "trainers" on the women's side wore Danskins, fishnet stockings and spike heels. How things have changed!
I show up in my sneakers, baggy knit pants, t shirt and headphones. My pants have pockets for my IPod and keys. There is no looking pretty in this workout. I get on the bike and ride. I'm up to 45 minutes already. Today I'm going to do an hour. Then I head to the Universal machine for some upper body. I'm only doing 3 sets of 5 reps each with no added weights. I'm not looking to bulk up, so I will increase to 5 sets of 10 reps and then think about adding weight. I'm trying to tone, not muscle up. I have enough muscle mass, thank you very much. All my years of sports left me with a solid basis. Water skiing gave me thighs, swimming gave shoulders. I'm shooting for that Wonder Woman look!
