What was I thinking?

I took this contract with my ex company, wanted to fill my time a little better, be a part of something, so on and so on. You know what they say, "be careful what you wish for?" It's been an interesting challenge, and I'm still getting through it. I've fired, hired, alienated, drove them away, and developed. All in all it's been good, but exhasting. I find I have no time left at all. I'm not even getting to the gym like I used to. I work all the time, wait a minute, did I say gym...

I'm working on a gym account. Wareing's gym. Most know it, they've been an institution here at the beach forever. And we're working on the account. So, those nice people at Wareings have invited us to come workout. It's just around the corner from our office, so going at lunch is a no-brainer. Something I've always been a fan of. The other day we took a spin circuit class. So, I hop on a bike, and I notice these weired things are hanging from the ceiling, they looked a cross between the "rings" from gymnastics, and a bit of S&M. All of a sudden the instructor has us hop off the bike, and we're using these hanging tourture things to do pushups, flys, bicep curls, tricep work, oh my goodness, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DYE!

I've seen most things, done most classes, but NEVER one like this. It's called the TRX system, and it was invted by a navy seal for training. It engages your 'core" as the way it works is your body creates the resistance. I didn't do the one where you put your feet in the straps, that one went just too far. But, I survived. I'm no thinner, maybe I added 5 minutes to my complete lifespan. I'm a little sore today, but alot proud.
