Obviously I am going to have to write a story about Genma attempting to gain immunity to a poison in this manner. Drinking something his body knows is poison, and forcing himself to keep going.
*is proud* Your are doing great to be going to the gym despite the discomfort. I'm impressed by the amount of weight you've managed too. I honestly don't lift anything over 30 pounds, I just lift it about 20 to 30 times a set at best. The staff at my Y tells me that I need to do interval training to be most effective at burning fat, particularly around the middle. So, go go treadmill for the win. I just do it on a hill program at a brisk walk

Oh, my weights are low. too. It just does a cumulative total, which amuses me. So my 12 reps of 90 pounds on the leg press gives me 1080 pounds. Then I do the other 13 machines on the circuit, most of them with under 25 pounds, some with only 10 because I have the world's weakest shoulders.
For treadmill I'm just trying for target heart range right now, so I was keeping it at a steady brisk pace on a slight incline. Maybe I should try the hill program.
I was really freaked about calling the police, but they had been fighting a long time, and smashing things around. When I heard that extremely loud bang that didn't sound like a door slamming or a vase hitting the wall, I picked up the phone.
Anyway thanks for the encouragement. Now I'm off to the AquaFit 2 class!
Ah, I do one day of lower body weights for up to a half an hour and one day of upper body weights later in the week. I do 'cardio,' tummy work, and stretches too every day. I do the rower for 2000m which translates to around 12 minutes at the speed I usually go. The treadmill I do for between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the day. I don't want to spend my life at the gym so I try to keep my workout time down to around an hour, or a half hour on Mondays. Supposedly it is better for you to have a significant rest period between weight lifting for the muscle tears to rebuild into stronger muscles, but I haven't really researched it to know

have you tried the elliptical machine? that was amberjoy's favorite & she got great results with it. she loved it and at one point could do it for like an hour. i, however, run away from the breath-stealing, muscle-burning, heart-pounding Thing after exactly two minutes (i have no gym stamina). i think anyone who can go to a gym more than once a month is a damn superhero

...you make me want to go to a gym. :o Good for you, nene!
Also, o.o at the domestic dispute. I'm glad you called the cops! And that they called you back and told you everything was okay. I'd sure be freaking out. o.o;
