Strengthening my assetts

My gym partner is a guy, so he always wants to do chest and shoulders. Being a girl, I'd rather do abs and butt. Jeremy says he never notices a difference in abs, so he doesn't like to do them. And butt? Well, he's a guy.

I made him promise me on Monday night that we'd do butt on Wednesday. And we did. (I know it's cheesy, but I thought it was funny that we worked out our butts on Hump Day.)

I was afraid I'd be a total wuss at the gym because my tooth is being so annoying. I even warned Jeremy before that he might have to push me a little bit. But I was on a roll! I hopped on the elliptical and ran over two and a half miles on level 10 in 22 minutes. I burned over 300 calories in that time. I beat Jeremy's time by like 3 minutes.

Then, I went straight to the leg curl and this other leg curl that works more of your butt. Instead of breaking between each, I went from the first leg curl to the second. After that, Jeremy announced that he was done. He had promised me we'd do lunges, though. I reminded him of this, but he said something about how he never promised he'd do them. I still wanted to, so I made him stay to make sure my technique was right. He had me grab a 10-pound weight to hold in each hand while I lunged. I didn't feel anything, really. So he bumped me up to 25 pounds in each hand. That worked.

I'm a little sore today, but I can feel myself getting progressively more sore as the day goes on. I might not be able to move tomorrow, but at least I'm getting closer to buns of steel (especially since K's a butt guy)!
