This is the first week since our clocks were turned back an
hour upon the return to normal Standard Time.
That means less time in the evening to do activities outdoors. So, my family decided to join our local YMCA
to have access to some additional activities that we can do either before or
after work, including making use of the weight training machines.
My first session of weight training was a “get acquainted”
session with a trainer. I learned how to
track my progress and set up each machine to get the maximum benefit from
lifting weight. That happened
yesterday. Today is a resting day from
the weights, so I intend to go to a local middle school and throw in the field
a little after work. When I get home, I’ll
take a walk around the neighborhood even though it will probably be dark by
then.
My understanding of this whole process is to try and
confound the body by doing something different day to day, working different
parts of the body, and still gaining strength and endurance.
I don’t know if my body is confounded, but my brain sure
seems to be! I just hope that all the
hype about weight lifting proves to be true and that it will help me more than
just walking at night.
