Dangers at the gym!

I had my Monday dose of Zumba today and it was great, but I hurt myself during the abs class afterward.
You're thinking maybe I pulled a muscle? Nope. Maybe I strained my back? Nope again. I cut my ankle!



Leave it to me to hurt myself. We were working on our abdominals and I was using a resistance tube. When the instructor said to let go of one end of the tube I did, and ouch! It sliced a little bit of my ankle. I'm not a stranger to injury...trust me. I have fallen on and off a treadmill, dropped weights on my feet, and now this. You live and learn right? Well this won't stop me from exercising, although I will be more careful next time!
Do you have any gym or exercise related injuries?

Not a spinner

I'm not a fan of spinning, and my legs are witnesses to that! However, the hubby loves it and now has a wish list.


The above picture isn't the exact one that he's requesting, but I did get a peek at Sam's yesterday. Costco also has a few that appear to be of better quality, but I'm not an expert.

Currently we have a small home gym that consists of free weights, a treadmill, and a 'total gym'. Disregard the unfinished floor as we haven't decided what we are going to do in our room yet. Suggestions?






I actually used both exercise machines today and feel pretty satisfied with my day overall. :)
