Equipment!

Thursday I was taken into the gym at PT and allowed to use some of the equipment. The first one was one I've used at the Y; you sit on it and put your feet on these platforms, and if you are also working upper body or if you want to increase cardio you hold on to the handles which go up and down as you make each step. I used it for eight minutes on level three and burned a whopping 18 calories! Then I moved over to the bench to do quad presses for 8 minutes. This was a similar machine that I couldn't use at the Y because I needed assistance to get into proper position. But once I got going, I enjoyed using it. Then I moved onto working pecs and lats by pulling down a rod that was attached to 20# weights. The machines are so much more fun to work on than home exercises. That is for sure. Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,
