Last week I got a couple of new
body bars for the gym because I needed ones that were heavier than the 15-pound
one I already had and lighter than my 45-pound Olympic bars. That would be a first-world trainer problem,
for those keeping score. Because I
am inherently silly, I carried them out to the gym across my back as if I were
going to do squats with them, very funny looking squats that needed to move
sideways to get through the kitchen and its obstacles.
As I walked across the back yard,
I noticed the difference in my feet.
On one trip, I had an extra 24 pounds pressing down on them and, on the
second, thirty. (Yes, I attempted
to be sensible and didn’t do both bars at once. Also, the 30-pound one is longer than the 24-pounder and
that would have been extra awkward.)
What a relief to take the extra weight off!
How much better will my feet feel
when I lose a few pounds? How
about my spine? I am newly
motivated to take off that extra body bar I’ve installed on myself. Anybody else?
