I'm back from the gym, having completed my sixth and final workout of the week - 3 weight training sessions and 3 cardio/HIIT sessions.
I've just written the following in my gym log, and thought that I'd share my musings here as well:

So, I've now done two weeks on the NROL Break-in Program. I'm not going to pretend that it has been easy, because it hasn't, but I have enjoyed it, and I've also been surprised by how much I've pushed myself to do it ... hey, I've even been to the gym, six days in a row!
A favourite Queen song of mine came on the radio as I was running on the treadmill, and I think it sums up how I'm feeling about my workouts at the moment:
Don't stop me now!
I'm having such a good time ... I'm having ball!
My motivation? I think that it's because I can finally see that there's a great body beneath the layers of fat, and it's starting to emerge. With some hard work and clean eating, I might just be able to have that Linda Hamilton bod!

I think something has actually 'clicked' for me while I've been following this workout. I feel that in some way I've being going 'though the motions' with my exercise before now, but suddenly I really, really want to do it. I'm very serious now about what I want to achieve.
It's a revelation to see the start of some muscular definition in my legs, to see my biceps 'pop' when I flex them, to see how my stomach is shaping up ... and I just want MORE!

IMO, free weights are the best to use anyway if you're looking to build/sculpt your muscles (though machines can be good for beginners).
Have a great weekend Babes! I'm planning a well-earned rest for the remainder of mine
