I worked out at a different gym tonight. My normal gym was closed for fumigation. Because I belong to Anytime Fitness, my key fob works at ALL locations even though each location is independently owned. The location I used tonight was a bit overwhelming. There were soooo many machines, etc. and most were different from what I normally use. So the weights do not really compare - except for the Chest and Reverse Flye. I likes part of these machines and disliked other parts. For example, I liked that the chest and shoulder presses were inclines because I felt like I was using the proper muscles instead of using my back for everything. On the other hand, the weight increments were larger than I prefer. For the most part, there was no way to bump up the weights by 5# increments, sometimes the minimum bump was 15-20#. Yuck.

My mood going into and leaving the workout was high and happy! I openly admit that I'm glad that I go to the gym and workout - so long as it's strength training, particularly the weights. This is quite a shift from this time last year when I started the whole gym thing. The circumstances have also changed drastically since then.
