Another workout with weights as well as the balance stuff. It feels as though I'm getting back to things I'd let go/reduced while working with Emilie and focusing on the things she's taught me. (Not all of them; I'm not trying the leg press again until I see her and she can check my form.)
I've been thinking I need a new workout/gym icon; this one is several years old.
Cardio, 10 minutes, top heart rate 123
Chest press, 50 pounds, 12; 55 pounds, 7
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 17; 60 pounds, 17. Right now the higher footrest seems much more comfortable (and somewhat easier, but the latter might be because of the lower weight).
Balance ~fly, 50 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each foot forward}
Cross-body pull, 35 pounds, 15 with each hand
Wrist curl, 25 pounds, 2 sets of 15 (all overhand except first three in second set; that hurt my shoulder)
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 2 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}
Pressing knee down on rolled towel, 15 with each leg
Abdominal bridge, 5
"Foo" balance exercise with roller, 1 arm in air, 5 on each side; both arms, 5 supporting myself on the right leg, 3 good and 2 wobbly supporting myself with the left.
Half roller, some
Biceps curls on ball, 7.5 pounds, 13 (stopped because an elbow started to hurt)
Stretches
The lists of how many things I'm doing are looking long, but the sessions aren't getting much longer. That's partly that there are a lot more things I'm doing relatively few of, and partly that I'm still doing only a little cardio, to save time (and in this case because I didn't have anything interesting to read; settled for the gym's copy of a recent issue of New York magazine, an article about whether parenthood makes people happy, and what it means that the only study where parents reported themselves as happy as non-parents was from Sweden, with good parental leave, day care, and health care.
