I noticed yesterday that my calves felt a bit tight, so a light workout—not all the exercises, and everything at lower weights—seemed like a good idea. So, I did that after work today. Having baked something for the seder, I might get to the gym again this week. Or not; Sunday and Tuesday isn't the ideal two a week, because they're close together and that would be a week gap until the one after, but it would be okay.
I went to the gym near my office, instead of my usual, and most of the machines I used this time are different, so the numbers don't compare neatly.
Cardio, 10 minutes, top heart rate 132
Leg press, 200 pounds, 3 sets of 15 (from 280/300 Sunday, but this is a different machine, and it felt like a bit more than 200 on my usual would have)
Chest press, 25 pounds, 12, 10. Again, a different machine; the second 10 were with pushing the handles toward the center as well as forward, and trying to keep them aligned.
Balance ~fly, Cybex machine set at "2", 2 sets of 15 with each leg foward
Seated calf raise, 45 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Hip adduction, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Hip abduction, 40 pounds, 15, 9, stopped because it started to hurt (it's easy for me to feel like I'm overdoing that one)
