My first work out

Well I survived my first workout. We went to the orientation, which I thought they might weigh me and show me how to use a few machines. They lady instead tried to kill me! She gave me the max weight I could lift a few times. I maxed my legs out, even walking made them feel like jello. After a half hour of that she printed out a copy of my strength training workout and told me to go do it. I was a pool of sweat (50% of that was just because the A/C wasn't working well)

 The orientation lady told me to do 45 minutes of cardio with my strength training, 30 mins before and 15 after. So I started out with cardio, I chose to use an Elliptical... but apparently the word Elliptical stands for quick death by a cardio machine.  After 5 mins I was done! so I started slowing down and as soon as I stopped the lady working out next to me says, now you go backwards. I was trying to not look lazy so I said OK and started backwards. I sadly made it another minute and was done. I didn't care if I looked stupid, my legs were so tired!

  My mom and I both finished our assigned workouts for strength training, while the kids had a great time in the rec room. They have already been bugging me today to go workout so they can play. I'm glad they are excited and enjoy it. I'll go back tomorrow for another workout.
