redbird: me with purple hair (purple)
([personal profile] redbird Sep. 29th, 2008 09:13 pm)
As I just remarked in a comment to [livejournal.com profile] mrissa, I am optimistic about my exercise program, because I have been to the gym, and had a good workout despite having had sore quads this morning which were complaining on the exercise bicycle. (I don't know why my quads were sore; did we spend that much time standing at the Medieval Festival yesterday?)

(I started with 20 calf raises, easy ones just standing on a basic flat floor, while waiting for the cardio bike)
Cardio, 10 minutes, top heart rate 135 (brief and low intensity because of the above-mentioned sore quads)
(Technogym) leg press, 200 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Chest press, 50 pounds, 15, 12
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15 (again, 1 set with feet on the higher footrest, which is becoming the standard here)
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 2 sets of 15 with each leg forward
Cross-body pull for rotator cuff, 40 pounds, 15 with the right hand
Triceps pulldown, 40 pounds, 15
Wrist curls, 30 pounds, 15 each with palms up and palms down

Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}

Balance lateral raise, 2.5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Balance squats, 15
