Recovery day at HealthTrax....

After creating an updated exercise plan, I decided to execute that plan by going to HealthTrax in Newington, because the weather was not going to allow me to ride in Middletown.  I did not know the schedule for spin or yoga classes on Monday, but apparently they begin later at 6 and 7 pm respectively.  I arrived at 4:15pm, so there was no way I was waiting around.  That said, I decided to get a quick ab and weight circuit in before hitting the hot tub to stretch.  I felt strong on the ab routine, but very weak on the upper body circuit having to drop at least 10 lbs on each station from last winter.  Most likely I will get that strength back quickly once I get back into the routine for a couple of weeks.  I need to adjust my time so that I arrive at HealthTrax early enough to get my ab and upper body circuit in before the spin class starts.  Most likely around 5:00pm or so.  Risky, as this gives me time to go home first...not good.  Maybe I'll just stay at school and work a bit their on Mondays before coming home...Ya that's it. 
Afterward I headed to the hot tub, which was shocked today, and I had to remove the cover.  I was quite stiff, after not having done any stretching for most of the summer.  It felt really good to get a full body stretch in, my legs said thank you.
Not too strenuous, but a good recovery day workout just the same.
Tomorrow - Spin at 4:30 and Cynergy at 5:40, just right for me to come straight from work.
