got weights?

It was a sad day when I learned I had to quit Bikram Yoga.

Over the past 2 months....my face looks as if I have been using pure acid as a night cream.

After a trip to the dermo...I was diagnosed with Rosacea....and extreme temps do not help.

So, I found a new place to do yoga. It is a full gym...and a "personal fitness evaluation" came with the membership.

This morning...I was nervous. Would he make me run? Lift weights? Tai Chi?

To my surprise...it was basically just "lets see how fat, flexible, and fit you are."

A certain day from the 4th grade stands out in my mind. A day I will never forget.

Each spring we had a physical education test....to see how in shape we were. I was always a healthy child....but, strong was something I never was.

All the other kids did chin ups on the monkey bars...with ease. I couldn't even do one.

So this morning when I had to do curls to determine my strength....I felt like I was back on the Armstrong Elementary playground....

All in all...I was "average." My BMI healthy...my % body fat...needs to come down...my cardio health was surprisingly good......and my "body age" is 3 years younger than I really am.

But, I am a weenie.

So, I think I might get one of those power lifting belts and start bench pressing.....ah yes...I would be so good at that.

Will you spot me?

  2. Yeah! Sounds like a good excuse to put off exercising until your body catches up with your birth certificate.
