Oh man, I’ve been waiting for 3 months for this moment, and it’s finally arrived! Working out in a new gym that’s designed for the workouts I do! Big, big fun!

- 30 ablab situps (which is a lot like using a Swedish Ball)
- 30 Push Presses @ 95 lbs
There are a number of really great things about this gym as it relates to these workouts. First, it has all the equipment, and it’s easy to set up your circuits w/o impeding other’s work (there are no fixed-place machines, everything can be moved with some degree of ease). Second, because of our location, and past tenants, we have an industrial-sized garage door, which we open when we’re working out. It was in the low 50s this am, so it was very cool, and after getting moving, it really helped to keep me from overheating. Third, I’m back to using kettlebells again, which is a big deal; dumbbells just don’t work the same way when you try and swing them, etc. Fourth, the weight bars are designed for weightlifting, so the knurling on the handles gives more purchase than the chrome bars I had been using.
Anyway, I’m very happy with all this. It’s going to be fun working out down there, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the equipment come in. I can’t wait to start climbing the ropes!
