Monday 6/27 - I - Back in America!

15 minutes climbing
15 minutes eliptical
20 minutes arm/core machines
Move-in workout
Ran up the stairs (to 7th floor, twice)

I had a really active day today! We're staying in a hotel/temporary apartment place in NoVA now, and it has a really nice gym. Because of jet-lag, I woke up really early. So I went to the gym after breakfast. The most exciting thing in the gym is the "TreadWall." It's a continuous climbing wall that you can keep going on forever, like a vertical treadmill. Here's a picture (not of me, just from google):
It's fun, but extremely tiring. It feels like you're continuously doing pull-ups while at the same time running and doing crunches and trying to balance on something. I actually couldn't do it for more than a minute at a time without hopping off for a second to rest. It automatically stops if you get to the bottom or get off.

Using the other gym equipment was also fun- there are personal TV screens on all the elipticals. Most of the channels were boring daytime TV, but I found one sports channel that was in German (I watched it for the German, not the sports).

Afterward, I took the stairs instead of the elevator back to our rooms on the 7th floor. I took the stairs one other time today, but all the other times I took the elevator. I'm going to try to take the stairs more though.
