Workout tip #1

1) Don't do pullovers without a trainer if you've never done them before.

Normally I do pulldowns, which work the same muscle group. But today, I decided to mix it up a bit and try the pullover. The problem with pullovers is that you don't "feel" the weight until your hands are pretty much behind your head, and you feel it pretty quick. So when I tried doing them today, on my first rep, my right arm snapped below my head to the floor because I wasn't expecting such a quick change in weight. I'm pretty sure that I strained something because my shoulder is sore and my neck hurts. It's probably not too serious, though, as I still have full range of motion. Regardless, I'm going back to pulldowns.

And yeah, that was my day. Get up, go to the gym, and blog a bit. Having such a light teaching load this semester makes me feel like some trust fund kid, except without all the money. I've realized two things as I blog this. First, I could really get used to this. Second, I'm entirely confident that I've made the right career choices.
