This gym (Aspen Hill Club) has a great system for tracking one's fitness progress. Membership comes with 3 free personal trainer sessions; the first hour-long session includes an interview and series of tests to assess your current fitness level. The 2nd and 3rd half-hour sessions involve performing exercises recommended by the trainer and under their supervision to ensure proper technique. The trainer then fills our an 8.5x11" card with your exercises, reps, sets, and weight; each time I visit the gym, I get my card from the filing system and fill out the reps, sets, and weights I performed for each exercise. It will be interesting to track my progress on the weights but am more interested in what it does for my bones and testosterone levels; will need to do another testosterone blood test and bone density test to find out whether this new routine is working.
I'm usually very hungry after working out or swimming and today was no exception; consequently, I eat big! Today's meal is protein packed with egg, salmon, and veggies, with a slice of my fresh walnut bread (see previous post), and followed by dessert of non-fat, greek yogurt, goji berries, strawberries, almonds, and topped with ground flax seed - yum!
Bed of steamed spinach (with scallion), topped with a poached egg and surrounded by steamed mushrooms, tomatoes, and salmon. Toppings include salt, pepper, sesame seed, and ground flax seed.
