My 12th workout was done on the same day as my 11th workout. Therefore, my 12th workout was much less intense than my earlier workout. However, I still got my heart rate up and did a bit of cardio. My buddy and I started out doing some rowing. I’d never tried it before, so it was interesting. I was surprised that I started feeling it in my legs before I felt it in my arms. We used the rowing machines for about 10 minutes. Then, we went to find out what sports were open (it was very crowded). The only thing available was ping pong, so we got our gear. When we got to the table, though, there was a lone guy playing against a wall next to the table.

So, my buddy and I invited him to play with us. We started out with two girls on one side, and him on the other. Then, we started alternating players. Anyhow, we hadn’t played more than 5 minutes when he wanted to start keeping score (my buddy and I had totally talked several times before about how competitive guys are and how they can never seem to play without keeping count on a “death match”). So, we told him he could count and keep track of the score. This guy was actually pretty good, so we lost horribly most of the time. However, after about 1-1/2 hours of playing ping pong with a better opponent, we got a lot better! Also, he raised the intensity by about 5 notches, so we were getting a cardio version of ping pong!

After we were worn out from ping pong, we went to the weight training area. We did some light strength training (I worked my legs and abs the most) for about 20 minutes. Then, we topped our workout off with 15 minutes in the sauna.
