So the last couple of weeks my workout schedule has been pretty open (as can be the case between academic terms). I haven't really done much and I am definitely feeling the blubber start to grow. I do well with consistent schedules so, since I have a class every day this term, I figured it was a good time to kick things into gear! After the car breakdown saga and such, I was feeling fatigued and "off" yesterday, so I didn't really get into doing much. Today it all started and so I figured I would post about it! Probably won't be a very exciting post for most, but I wanted to log it to help me keep track. Since my week-to-week workouts won't vary much, I won't be doing this a lot, but this week (and possibly monday of next week) I will be logging my workouts as I try to whip myself into shape. I doubt many people will be entertained by reading what I did in the gym today, but if you decide to delve in, hopefully some illustrations will help :-) (even if they are ridiculous images that I snagged off Google Image Search, haha)
Although I wish I had, I didn't pay any attention to how long I was actually in the gym. That might be something to pay attention to in the future. I have been seeing a physical therapist about a problem I have been having with my half (specifically I believe it is my flexor hallucis) so any exercises marked with a * are ones that are part of the "rehab" routine given by her. Illustrations will be posted below the logged exercise.
* Stationary Bike - Random Hill - Level 5 - 6 minutes
* Stairmaster - Roller Coaster - Level 5 - 5 minutes
* Smith Lunge - 85 lbs - 8 sets of 10 alternating leading legs
Lat Pull - 140 lbs - 3 sets of 10
* Paramount Leg Press - 100 lbs - 4 sets of 10
* Standing Hamstring Curl - 25 lbs - 4 sets of 10 with each leg
Calf Raises on leg press - (assuming base is 45 lbs) 225 lbs - 4 sets of 10
Lower Back Extension - 4 sets of 10
Multi-Hip - 70 lbs - 8 sets of 10 alternating legs
Leg Lift - 10 reps straight ahead, 20 reps alternating twisting to left or right, 10 reps straight ahead
Preacher Curls - (assuming bar is 25 lbs) 45 lbs - 3 sets of 10 (with a break due to nausea between sets 1 and 2)
Treadmill - 20 minutes at 6 mph, 3 minutes at 3.5 mph, 2 minutes at 3 mph
Needless to say, I was pretty wiped and was there for a while! Tomorrow should be easy to log, but Thursday should be pretty similar to today. Here's hoping I survive!
