Jan 6 - gym time

Today we decided to do a traditional gym workout. Monday is typically a crossfit day and sometimes we like to work in a regular workout to gauge how our efforts are affecting our overall strength, so today seemed to be a good opportunity to get that done since tomorrow will certainly be a crossfit day.

Today we did the following:
* leg extensions - 1 warm up set and 2 heavy sets
* squats - 1 warm up set and 2 heavy sets
* cable rows - 1 warm up set and 2 heavy sets
* standing leg curls - 2 heavy sets
* incline dumbbell bench press - 1 warm up set and 2 heavy sets
* seated shoulder press - 2 heavy sets
* donkey calf raises - 2 heavy sets

Not a super long workout, but it still took us about 50 minutes. I am pleased to report that we haven't seen any drop off in strength since switching primarily to our crossfit workouts. In fact, we improved on every single exercise today. It feels good to know that we didn't lose ground by changing up out workout routine.

And as a bonus, we stopped by the local running shoe store before going to the gym. They had an awesome sale on some shoes that are to be replaced by a newer model. We each got a new pair. They are supposed to be better suited to treadmill running. I can hardly wait to try them out tomorrow.
