Bad memories of P.E. teachers


Today I had enough time to swing into the gym for a quick abs workout. I was excited about carrying on my great workout from last week but was thwarted from doing a proper interview for two reasons:

1. Change to the equipment layout
The equipment in the gym has been moved all over the shop so that the running machines can be re-arranged to stop making so much noise for the other floors. If only THE running girl didn't pound her feet so loudly when she sprints EVERYday, there would've been no need for this! Anyways, consequently, there was no 'private' place to do an abs workout.

2.Interfering gym go-ers
I was happily minding my own ab-busting business when another gym go-er rocked up next to me and decided to show off his own ab techniques. I was trying out a new exercise when he then started to tell me how I was doing it wrong and how I should be doing it better. Well, I assume this was the case, although he was mumbling so much he could've been talking about the snow.

So, today I only managed:
  • plank - 120 seconds
  • pulse up - 6 (this is where I was most interrupted, at one point he lifted my legs up higher than they should go)
  • side plank - 60 seconds on each side
  • traditional crunch - 25 reps
  • twisting crunch - 8 reps on each side.
I don't think I'll be in as much pain as last week after ab-busting, but hopefully there'll be an improvement!
