Burn Baby Burn!

My legs felt like jello tonight as I pushed through another 6pm spin class...just not quite so jiggly haha. I got to World's about 7:20 am this morning to sign up for class and was already the 5th person on the list! I'm kind of surprised it hasn't died down yet but I guess that's a testament to how great the classes are.

Since I get to the gym around 5 I decided to take my first 45 mins or so and get in a full shoulders & abs workout so by the time I got started with spinning I was already pretty warmed up. For the first part of today's workout I did 3 sets of 8 front shoulder raises, 3 sets of 8 lateral raises, and 3 sets of 12 shoulder shrugs. I actually did shoulders yesterday as well but for some reason I didn't feel like I pushed myself hard enough so I needed to double-up today. Totally different moves yesterday though. Seeing as I started yesterday's workout with a run, I guess it explains why spinning seemed so much harder today!

For abs today I did 3 sets of 16 "air crunches" and 4 sets of 8 on the standing leg lift machine (2 sets front and 2 sets side-to-side). Despite having muscle fatigue right now, I'm ridiculously energized due to another Celcius that I had today around 3:30. These drinks are amazing but should really only be consumed in the first half of the day or else you'll be up all night! I had one yesterday around noon to help push me through a long run and it caused me to not only get to bed much later than usual but also wake up much earlier than usual...and I am already an early riser!

Tonight's spin class was with the pretty teacher again and she didn't fail to motivate, as usual, with her loud pumping music and energized attitude. My only complaint is that she is always saying how much more fun we are having than all the people out in the weight room and I want to be like "hey, you gotta get in a good variety of both to really get a good workout!". But anyway, to each their own I suppose.

Well, that's all for tonight's workout. I'm going to spend the next hour or so trying to wind down so I can actually sleep tonight haha. I think I'll take it easy on the cardio tomorrow and do mostly weights. That way I can hit the cardio hard again this weekend!
