Yet another workout today. Still fun, although we are starting to push ourselves harder at the sports (a touch of competition is good!). Our ping pong skills have improved dramatically, I might add. In fact, it is actually becoming more aerobic since we are starting to move around so much more. Today, I used the elliptical machine, treadmill, and climber machines for only about 20 minutes or so (enough to burn about 150 calories). My buddy and I were eager to try out a squash game. So, we got the gear and went for it. Although it was pretty pathetic, being our first time, it was still a lot of fun. I actually got hit in the head with the ball once, but fortunately it was the side of my head and not my face. It is also a good thing that neither of us hits the ball that hard, because it hurt bad enough with our weaker hits. After playing squash for about 40 minutes, we spent about 45 minutes playing ping pong and 45 minutes lifting weights/using the vibrating machine. I seriously think that vibrating machine is unclogging my ears/lymph nodes (well, that plus the exercising and better nutrition). We rented out an indoor fuzzy soccer ball sort of thing, but we actually realized that the gym was closing soon while we were using the weight machines. So, we decided to wait on the soccer, and decided to spend our last 10 minutes in the sauna. Great for the skin, or so I’m told.
