Chest and Triceps with Noel * may contain strong language

[Guest guest]

First of all, let me start off by saying I have major DOMS in my abs from Crunch Time last night.  Holy Cow!  It didn't seem too too hard while we were doing them at the time, but wowzers, am I hurtin' today!   Aunt Flo came early so I just walked the bridges at lunch this afternoon instead of running them.  It was a beautiful day for a walk, for once the sun was out!

I was a tad early to Fitness so I started off by running on the treadmill.  After about 5 minutes I sensed a presence and when I turned my head Noel was standing right next to me - I had my tunes cranked up and hadn't noticed him. 

We did 4 chest machines and I don't know if put extra weight on them this time or what but it seemed harder than usual.  Thinking about Turbo Fire and such, I asked Noel what he thought of HIIT and tabata drills.  As you might imagine, his reply was, " What the fuck is that? " Me: " You know, high intensity interval training?  Tabata, where you do intense drills like jumping jacks for 40 minutes then go at a lower intensity for 20 seconds, repeat for 4 minutes "

" Cardio is so gay, and I don't mean this in the good sense of the word " , he replied, 'What's cardio good for? " I laughed and said, um, to get your heart rate up and burn a lot of calories.  " Well why not just not eat instead, that way you don't have to do cardio at all?! "

We did three tricep machines and I told him Tuesday would have to be my last day because I'm broke and will be for about a month.  I told him in the interim I'd do kettlebells which got an eye roll.  I cited the ACE study where you can burn 400 calories in 20 minutes doing kettlebells and that I had a 45 pound kettlebell at Studio LouLou with his name on it if he ever wanted me to prove that to him.  His response was, " I can hold that on my dick " .  I was laughing so hard!

I told him I'd see him Thursday for legs and he said " I'm going to work your smart ass til you can't walk " .  Yikes!  I can never walk after regular leg days, I can't imagine what this will be.  Better enjoy walking over the next two days while I can!

As I made my way to the locker room he said, " Hey, good job today " .   That made me feel good
