Dufisthenics

As is customary this time of year the gym resolutionists have once again flocked to the local fitness centers.  Their presence was most notable in the cardio machine section of the gym, there was hardly a treadmill or stationary bike unoccupied.  I have seen this phenomenon go on for so long it hardly annoys me anymore. I know before the month is over most of these people will have migrated on to whatever they were doing before the new year came around.

I started off my year doing something I have not tried in awhile, bench pressing.  As expected my strength level was way down but at least I got the work in without feeling like I can’t come back for more.
