Felt a bit better over the course of the day. Not top shelf but better.
So, went to the fitness center. For one thing, historically if I am sick one of the fastest ways for me to get well is enough activity to sweat.
Didn't do enough to advance much. I did increase bicep curls by 10 lbs at maximum, so up to 140 on those. Otherwise pretty static.
I am seeing some serious progress on my chest, abdomen and arms. At my current rate, I'm guessing within two months I will have my abdomen fully defined and add around 4 inches to my chest. Legs are building up, too but less visible. The larger the muscles, the longer it takes to build them up.
Interesting thing. As systemic inflammation is decreasing, the crows feet around my eyes are fading somewhat. From the inside out. Just because my skin is getting healthier.
I didn't do any abdominal exercises tonight. Felt a little pain and thought it a bad idea for now. Also didn't do tricep exercises. That was because of campers on the machines.
Incredibly, the number of campers has increased. And they are getting worse. One guy was sitting on an ab machine. His body overhung the machine on every side except where the back rest was. Minutes on the machine? About 10. Number of abdominal crunches performed? 0.
Other people drive around the parking lot for half an hour, lines of cars, waiting for a space as close to the building as they can get. While there is a nearly empty dirt lot across the street, mere yards away. But they will spend all that time to park as close as they can so they can get out of the car and walk on a treadmill.
Of course, most of these people tell their friends and family they spent 2 hours at the fitness center. They leave out the fact that 30 minutes was in the parking lot, another 30 minutes talking, another 30 minutes on a massage chair and 20 minutes catching their breath from the 10 minutes of walking on a treadmill at the lowest setting. And that's the people in their 30's.
I really hope they end their $1 promotion soon.
