Saturday Workout

Saturday workout was quick but super fun!

I bouldered on the small bouldering wall in my gym for 45 minutes. I am convinced, the route setters are 6 foot 5 super humans with hands as sticky as that of superman! Oh well, I will stop complaining about being a short rock climber because there are people like Ashima Shiraishi and Sasha DiGuilian running around...or shall I say, climbing around? Anyway, I still had a lot of fun climbing in a gym after ages, especially since the local climbing gym in Jackson closed a few months ago.

After bouldering, I did some chin ups and several toning exercises with the dumb bell. This was great and my shoulders and upper body was feeling well worked. There was still ten minutes left before the gym closed so I jumped on the treadmill, turned up the elevation so I was essentially running uphill and went a steady pace of 8 minutes per mile. I was sweating pretty hard at the end of the ten minutes and according to the treadmill, I had burned off 135 calories! Not bad at all for ten minutes!

Stay healthy friends!
