Repeat - 12

Podcast #12 Working Out at the Gym

I went to the gym for a workout today. I try to go there at least three times a week. The best time to hit the gym is mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Most people are working at those times, so the gym is pretty empty. People go to the gym for different reasons. Some people want to lose weight. Other people want to build up their muscles. Most people who go want to improve their health. I'm in that category. I spend half my time on a treadmill. The idea is get my heart working hard. The other half of the time I work out with weights. There are about 10 to 12 exercises I do with weights. On days I feel strong I do a higher number of repetitions. Some days I don't feel like going to the gym. But I go anyway. I always feel better after a session in the gym.
