Lower Body Workout

Yesterday was a lower body workout day.  It was a day that kind of took me off guard and now looking back I laugh at it.  But I go to a great LA Fitness Gym where they have all the equipment you could imagine.  I went through my 50 minute workout doing the typical exercises I do.  I thought that I should do an extra 10 minutes on a leg machine that they have that works the inner thigh as well as your outer thigh. It was like I said the end of my workout and between sets I went to talk to someone and this meathead guy maybe 15 years younger and pretty buff, comes over, gets on the machine - raises the weight two more plates (pins) and cranks out 10 reps, looks at me and walks away.

I felt dissed so I go back to the machine and raise the weight another 2 plates and crank out another 10 reps.  Ha you meathead - try that - and I'm probably 15 years older than you. It felt good and really boosted my pride. I try to stay away from free weight because that is a young guys game,  So the machines work well for me and keep me injury free.

Well that was yesterday and today I'm just a bit sore, but its a goooooooodddddd sore. I like it.  I guess I needed that push. Hopefully I will get to know him, I'm a regular at the gym and this was the first time I ran across this character. I try to make a point of getting to know the regulars as well as all the trainers. Its like my home away from home.
