5/6 strength and run + a quote

I decided to try a class at the gym tonight for my strength workout called "Chisel".  It seemed to be very little aerobic workout and mostly lifting per the description.  Since I seem to either cheat or skip strength, I thought this might be a good option for me.

The class started with some jumping jacks and running in place and then went into the lifting.  Thankfully, I spoke with someone helpful before the class who told me to grab a few different weights and a pole too. I used the lightest weights most of the time, but when the instructor said "grab your heavy weights", I did!  MY heavy weights were only 5lbs each.  My bar was 9lbs.  There were some interesting moves with the bar and my hamstrings definitely felt it!

Afterwards, I ran for an hour on the treadmill.  That was a poor decision because I was already really tired!  I should have run first and then lifted, but the timing of the class aligned well with the end of the workday and the commute to get there.
