One Month

On May 13th I started my gym workout!

On May 8th I joined the gym!

I’ve been to following group courses:

  • Body Pump (strength)
  • Bodystyling (strength)
  • WBS (Pilates-Style, strength)
  • Zumba (cardio)
  • TRX (strength)
  • Dance (cardio)
  • Belly-Legs-Tushy (strength)
  • Step (cardio)

My favorites are: Body Pump, TRX, Belly-Legs-Tushy and Step

Machines I use in the strength circuit (8 machines a 30 seconds a 20 reps, 2 rounds) :
Each round

  • row: 14kg (started with 13kg) +1
  • ab crunch: 14kg (started with 12kg) +2
  • leg curl: 14kg (started with 10kg) +4
