A Day at the Rec

Today on September 22, 2011 my buddy from my floor Kyle and I went to the new rec center. We went there to run, lift weights, and play basketball. We go to the rec center every other day to work out. We did our usual of running for 4 laps around the indoor track to warm up our muscles. After the solid run we stretch. Next we went to work our upper bodies. We started off the chest press then the fly machine. For each machine we did 3 sets of 10. After working on the chest we decided to work on our biceps and triceps. We did the triceps push machine and the bicep curl machine. We only did one machine for each, because we didn’t want to do too hard of a work out before playing basketball. Before we played basketball we worked on our abs. Today we focused on the lower abs. We used these chairs that you hold yourself up in to work on the abs. We did a total of 100 lower abs crunches. After working out we played basketball for a little while. We went on to the basketball courts and played a few pick-up games. The first game we played was a full court 5 vs. 5 scrimmage. The game was very fast and very competitive. I only made 4 shots and Kyle made 3 shots. We won 21 to 16. The next game we played was a 2 vs. 2 scrimmage. This game was a lot slower, because there were less people. The game played to 11 points. Kyle and I won this game 11 to 7. I had 6 points and Kyle had 5 points. After this we went back to our dorm. We will be doing this a lot more often.
