So, as I recuperate in my husband's apartment in Raleigh, I discover that at lower ground, I am actually able to workout. His apartment complex has a small gym. Actually, small is the wrong word. Microscopic is more like it. You know what I'm talking about. If you've ever been to a small fitness center at a hotel, the fitness center often consists of one recumbent bike, two treadmills, two elliptical machine, a chest press, a lat pulldown, a hamstring machine, a stability ball and a leg extension machine, but don't go there.
Nonetheless, it is a gym, and it's free. I have discovered that as my ability to breathe improves my creativity has returned, and in the past few days, with the help of I have been able to out together some pretty cool workouts. For example, after doing a set of lat pulldowns, I can wrap the tube around the stable part of the machine, and perform some seated rows. If I'm feeling energetic. I can combine the rows with squats.
For ab work, I wrap the tube around the stable part of any machine. I lie on the ball, hold on to the tubing and place it behind my head. It provides great resistance for crunches. Here is a video of some of the exeficses you can do with a resistance tube. While some of his ideas are good, I would be happier if the trainer did not lock his elbows on the lateral raise, and if his form was a bit smoother. That said, it's not the worst form I've seen on YouTube.
