I forgot about endorphine rushes and how FABULOUS they are!

I went to the gym today only to find that my bootcamp class won't start up again until next week...soo I lifted out on the floor today for the first time in about a year:(...:) I have been attending classes and such but not really going out there and lifting weights like I used to love to do...bummer for me. I don't exactly know why I quit doing it, who knows why I do half the stuff I do???

Happily, I feel shakey, spaghetti armed, full of energy, on top of the world, peppy, kind of buzzy and warm feeling...I love it! Endorphines are some pretty intense and AWESOME things.

I would invite them to come back any time they please!

Recipe for endorphine rush:

*double bi-ceps - 2 types of curls, 3 sets of 15 reps each - 10 pound dumbbells

*double triceps - kick backs and machine, 3 sets of 15 reps - 60 pounds resistance and 10 pound dumbbells

*double lats(back) - pull downs and seated rows, 3 sets of 15 reps - 50 - 60 pounds each

*double chest - dumbbell press and chest press machine at an angle, 3 sets of 15 reps - 20 pound dumbbells then 25 pounds resistance on the machine


It is humbling to see how little I can lift at this point. Good thing muscles have memory and will snap back quickly huh? I could bench 55 pound dumbbells just a few short years ago:)
