Another gym post

I noticed on my way to the subway this evening that I was walking faster than I mostly have been of late: not dashing, just closer to my usual quick New York walk. Partly because of that, I did a bit more lower-body stuff than I have been, and slightly more intense cardio. My knee hurt at one point late in the workout, while I was standing and waiting for a machine, so I didn't do any more lower body stuff after that. But the stairs back up were fine. (I also jarred my knees a bit by standing on the subway without holding on; that's usually good balance practice. After the second time the train slowed unexpectedly, I grabbed a pole.)

Cardio, 12 minutes, top heart rate 122
Leg press, 140 pounds, 15; 160 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Chest press, 55 pounds, 10; 50 pounds, 10
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 17

Stuff on the half foam roller, including some just standing/rocking a bit as I tried to stabilize, and: balance lateral raise, 2.5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Biceps curls, sitting on balance ball, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 13
Tree, 6 sets of {3 on each foot}

(I couldn't remember the other stuff I'd done on the balance ball last time well enough to do it today; put that on the list to check with Emilie.)
