<\/a>I added some vanilla Greek Yogurt and water, then mixed it all in my Magic Bullet.<\/p>\nI was able to find a treadmill without waiting and I hopped on for my 1.5 mile jog.<\/p>\n I had a great jog! I felt fantastic the entire time, I didn’t have any side cramps or pain in my leg. In fact, I zoned out and then looked down and saw that I’d jogged 1.48 miles…Wow! How time flies.<\/p>\n I have to admit, it was rather overwhelming. I felt like a fish out of water. All of the machines were different. These were high-tech machines…selecting the weight amount was challenging at first. Some of then machines had knobs to select the weights. Some were the regular type but labeled differently. I did my best to figure out each machine. It made the workout take a lot longer than normal.<\/p>\n Conquer Your Goals<\/p><\/div>\n \n Experience LIFE<\/p><\/div>\n I finished up my workout with using the medicine ball for the Russian Twist, and then the Row Machine. Lastly, I did my physical therapy for my IT Band.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The verdict? Nasty.<\/p>\n<\/a>DID NOT LIKE. At all. It tasted gross. The consistency was too liquidy. I am sticking with my Amazing Grass powders instead. I definitely won’t buy this product again. Yuck! Not only that, it wasn’t filling. I filled my water bottle with water and Glutamine supplements.<\/p>\n<\/a>Then I hit the road. The new gym is huge. Parking was easy (plus), and everything was modern and up-to-date (plus). I did not see any “This Machine is Out of Order” signs like at my usual gym (annoying).<\/p>\n<\/a>The cardio room on the main floor was huge. It had tons of different types of treadmills available, exercise bikes, stairmasters, and a few other machines I wasn’t quite sure how to use.<\/p>\n<\/a>The other thing I loved? Staring out the big windows at the trees and river. It was a nice view.<\/p>\n<\/a>The Spinning Bike looks rad. I really want to try that machine the next time I’m there! It’s completely computerized with an instructor and everything. Plus, I can hook up my ipod and listen to my own music.<\/p>\n<\/a>The treadmill was one I’d never seen before and it took me a few moments to get everything figured out. I still don’t know why there were handle bars above my head….Hmmm….<\/p>\n<\/a>It took me 23 minutes to jog 1.5 miles. After that I explored the first floor a bit. The pool looked pretty nice. Then I went upstairs to do my weight training.<\/p>\n<\/a>Something else I noticed was that the machines used your whole body weight. Instead of sitting down and not moving anything but your arms to do the Lat Pull Down, you also did like crunches at the same time. Basically, the whole machine moved as I lifted weights. It was sort of odd at first, and took some getting used to. I wish I could have taken some video of it to describe these machines better.<\/p>\n<\/a>I tried all of the machines out and then the second time around the room I got a much better work out. I knew what to do with each one and I knew what weight to use. I focused mostly on my upper body: shoulders, triceps, biceps, chest, back. I tried to fit in some ab workouts too, but the ab machines were way different than what I normally use.<\/p>\n<\/a>It wasn’t very crowded. I didn’t have to wait to use any of the machines, so that was another plus. The new gym had motivational phrases around too:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
