I was getting ready to go to the gym yesterday and put on this new workout top I had recently purchased from Target. I wasn't having a flat belly day so I took it off and changed to something that was much more loose and not at all tight fitted. I don't really like wearing tight clothes when I am working out. So I arrived at the gym feeling bloated and not at all having a positive body image.
I started by jumping rope for about 5 mintues and then started an upper body workout. I did some pullups and barbell should presses, then continued with supersets of bicep curls and rear deltoids. While I was working on my biceps, this girl at the gym walked up to me and asked me what type of workout I do, and if run because I am in great shape. I am often puzzled by that question because there I was lifting weights and yet I am asked if I run? I basically told her that I hate to run and detest running long distances. My running only consists of sprints and do 20 or 30 second sprints with a 1 minute recovery.I also told her that I don't particularly like doing cardio. Of course she told me that she was a runner, ran to the gym and loves cardio. Surprise, Surprise! My thought was stop with all the cardio and lift some weights to gain some muscle tone, don't be afraid you will not get big!
