Shift My Booty

Now Then,

Thought I'd do a little intro to the one of the gyms I've been working out at!

This is my gym card - a North Lincs gym card that allows me to use the gym facilities, swimming facilities and classes at 4 different gyms! - I've been going to The Pods/Epworth (2 most convinient gyms for me!) for about a month now, mainly Epworth.

So I thought I'd give you a slight inside scoop on where I do the majority of my workouts:

 It's only a small gym - but its convenient and definitely does the job!, there's 6 bike machines (3 high seat, 3 low seat - feel free to give me the correct names!) - 2 rowing machines, 2 step machines, 3 treadmills, 2 cross trainers, plus weights, and specialist weight machines including abdominal, leg press, pull down and more - and finally a small area with mats, kettlebell weights and smaller weights and mirrors.

Also, it has a few inspirational quotes stuck around the gym, you maybe able to see the one in the background of the photo above, it says "If you can dream it, you can do it" - pretty sure that's a Walt Disney quote, but hey, us gym bunnies like Disney too ;)

Tonight I focused on my legs, and did around 20 mins on the bike (both high seat and low seat):

This one is towards the end of the lower seated bike work out - I was on "Hill Setting" - "Around the World" - at a level of 4 (easing myself in still!) and did that for a total of 10 minutes - and then pretty much the same programme on the higher seated bike but on the "Kilimanjaro hill setting" - and then I moved onto the abdominal weight machine, the Pulldown weight machine, and the leg press weight machine, doing 5 sets of 10 reps on each machine (with minute breaks inbetween each set) - didn't want to do myself in!

Nice pink laces there Hayley ;)

but either way, I left feeling pumped and refreshed - and satisfied that I'd done a decent workout.

I usually go in the evening (unless I'm off work) as its after peak time and as you can see by the photos - the gym is pretty quiet!

So that's a little insight to where I do my workouts!

Until my next update,

Hayley
