Pleasure

Started a new workout plan yesterday, involving getting in shape without joining a gym or ordering wacky infomercial exercise-breakthrough-of-the-week. I’m doing it the old fashioned way. The way I put on muscle ten years ago in Basic Training. Pushups, situps, dips, crunches, and various other related exercises.

Yesterday, I found out that I was much weaker (or maybe it’s just a combination of my increased weight and increased sedentarity), so I decided I’d do twenties this week. 20 pushups, 20 inclined, 20 situps, 20 crunches, 20 mountain climbers and 20 dips. Afterwards, I was wasted.

So, I was quite sore all day today, but I also decided to go out and find some house music to bounce around to. Maybe I’ll do the aerobic part on Tuesday and Thursday, or something. I headed to Pleasure at Agenda (not the Cellar this time) in San José.

The music was good, although the floor was quite sticky and the street light shining through the window was distracting. Overall, it wasn’t bad, except there was quite a lack of people there. Probably the largest group there at any point during the evening numbered fifteen. Hopefully, that’s atypical of Tuesdays. I’ll check back next week.
