Erging

On Friday I went to the gym with a friend who is on VCU's crew team. I usually do not do much cardio any more, so I really did not know how I would do. I was extremely eager to try this crew workout since my friend said that I would not be able to do it. When I enter the gym I become a different person. I get really focused and try to push my body to its limits and set new personal records. We went upstairs to the erging machines, and my friend set up my machine with the workout that the team does every morning. As we started erging I realized that I was going really fast compared to my friend. We kept doing intervals on the machine with only short periods of rest. At the end of the workout my friend checked each of out times, and he was shocked by mine. Apparently my times were incredibly good and could compare with the top crew members. My friend was shocked and could not believe that I found it so easy. We were not done there though, next was a three mile run. Which was a little tougher since I was sorta tired already. Afterwords, I was pretty impressed with my performance and it was good to know that I was still in good shape. Now I think I'm going to incorporate some more cardio into my workouts and see how far I can push myself.
