Gold's Gym IT IS

Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted, so here I am.

What I didn't cover was my workouts at the park these past few weeks.  All I've been doing are pull-ups, dips, reverse push-ups, push-ups, and jump squats.  I did about 4 sets each til I couldn't push anymore.  I don't think its really necessary to talk about these work outs because I just performed them every other day as usual...

Interestingly, the humidity here is so high that I feel like I could not recover between sets very fast.  In fact, I felt really winded after 1 set of pull-ups immediately followed by dips...kinda scary actually.  Luckily I've managed to come out of each workout with any type severe fatigue.

All that aside, tomorrow morning (before I meet my friend), I will try to get in a true "hisashiburi no workout" with WEIGHTS!  AT GOLD'S GYM, JAPAN!  <---I never thought I would join a Gold's Gym ever just because it's known for being the hardcore gym.  I don't consider myself that hardcore trainer, though sometimes I wish I could be one, hehe.

In any case, I will do a full body workout 3 times a week before I can get back into my normal routine.  I know I got really weak and I gotta tighten up my diet again.

As a side note, its kinda cool/funny seeing old people go to Gold's Gym and order protein shakes after their workouts (men and women).  I'm sure back in Gold's Gym (and other hardcore gyms in US) there would be older people (men and women) drinking shakes after a good workout, but in the US since working out is more of a...trend, people only really get their "exercise for the day" in and thats it.  Nothing dietary related with their workouts.  In other words, it fascinates me that people here actually follow some dietary guidelines that comes with working out because I guess thats the thing to do.

On the other hand, this could be only because its Gold's Gym.

Anyhow, I'll sign out and try to follow up with the workout tomorrow.
