Question.
How often do you work out at the gym? What kind of exercises do you do?
Answer.
I hit the gym three times a week on average. I always start my work-out with some weight training. On mondays I work out my chest and shoulders, on wednesdays and fridays I work out my biceps, triceps and my legs. I used to use machines when I first started but now I switched to free weights, such as babels and dumbels. I think that give me better results. After lifting weights, I usually do an hour of _tense_ cadio exercise on the treadmill or exercise bike. After that, I also do a few excessive sit-ups for my ass. I really like working out because I can keep in shape and it's also a great way to relieve my stress.
