Working it out
I decided that, while I enjoy the mental break of walking/running on a treadmill while watching tv shows on my iPhone, I don't think it's doing all that much for my body shape or posture. Weight lifting is really the way to go, I think. And I keep reading that free weights and using your own body weight resistance is better than the machines. So I worked up a plan for the week and went to the gym at lunch... damn if I can't find everything I need in any one room or space down there! The IMA has mats, all kinds of free weights and racks and bars and machines and stability balls located across 4 floors and a bunch of different rooms. It was kind of frustrating to be wandering all over the place looking for equipment. I'm thinking the top floor will be best for most things, but I'll probably have to carry a bunch of stuff up with me. Or change my plans. Curses!
