Yup... just hang in there. Recovery happens quicker... but you'll still get sore.

Signed up at Cardinal Fitness last night! I moved in with the GF and it has just become a pain in the ass to drive all the way home to work out. Cardinal Fitness is a block away from our place and way more convenient.

Anyone lift at the Cardinal Fitness on Cass and 63rd in Downers Grove?

Chest and back supersets tonight with 25 min of cardio.

The gym was jam packed with people today.

People trying to start their New Year's resolutions. Watch how it dies down within a few weeks.

Thankfully. Buncha n00bs, all I saw the new people do tonight was chit chat

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I havent worked out in over two weeks now. eek! I have been quite the slacker. I am dreading the new years resolutioners when I do get back in the game this week.

 

[Eagle]

I too was pretty lazy over my two week holiday break... But getting to the gym yesterday felt great and today Ive got a nice burn going. Looking forward to shoulders and bi's today.

 

[Eagle]

And I put on 3-4lbs over the beak too

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

hit the weights fri - sun and took yesterday off,

will resume tonight, hopefully my headache doesnt return.........

 

[SirMarco]

I'm not a huge person by any means but yesterday I pushed 75lbs dumbbells. Free weights are doing me good.

 

[Eagle]

Free weights FTW! Congrats on the 75s! I'm wishing the gym had heavier weights than 80's... I'm using them for a few exercises now w/o issues.

 

[SirMarco]

We have up to 100 I think at Bally. Not to sure since I don't use those so much. But for me being this small and pushing 75's I was dam happy.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Which Bally's do you go to?

 

[SirMarco]

The one in Schaumburg, Ballys West - Schaumburg Rd. & Barrington Rd.

 

[Hubbard 0]

I definitely need to get in here. Would anyone like to make some recommendations for me?

I'm at 212 I think now, gained some weight over the last few weeks (naturally) and I've set a goal of 185-190. I was below 200 several months ago, so it's not too intense of a goal. Mostly want to burn some fat but also get some muscle.

My workout always consists of a 30 minutes of pretty intense running mixed with walking. I would like to really focus on my shoulders and arms though cause I feel they are lacking.

Gotcha, I go to the one in Melrose Park on North Ave.

When I was going to Triton, I use to go to that one on school days

Start off easy. Get into cardio first. Do a solid run, keep your HR around 140-150 for at least 30min, then do your lifting. P90x has great arms/back/shoulders workouts. For me, its made working out easier because I have a routine to follow, rather than just doing whatever comes to mind. P90 forces you to keep moving too and keeps your HR up.

 

[SirMarco]

Getting a solid routine is key to a good workout. If not, especially at a gym you will end up lost and wondering around.

I live closer to the one on Cumberland/Higgins, but that one is always stacked with people. I like going to the one on North Ave even though it doesnt have a pool.
