I did half an hour of cardio, then met with Emilie. I started by telling her "No more lat pulldowns, ever" and explained why (my right shoulder still hurts, a week later). After I'd also talked about the knees, and some smaller annoyances, she suggested that some massage might help; we wound up spending most of my session on that (knees, shoulders, and related things like calf muscles, neck, and jaw). At her suggestion, I have also iced the shoulder.
I won't be seeing her next week, because of Thanksgiving (which is the main reason I didn't call yesterday and cancel this session).
Cardio, 30 minutes total (treadmill and then, when it became available, bike). Top heart rate 134. The treadmill has one of those charts of target heart rate for various purposes, with beats/minute as the y axis and age as the x axis. I'd been noticing that I hadn't been getting up to 145 or 150 the way I used to, and not thinking about the fact that I've been doing this for a decade, and 134 is a better number at 47 than it would be at 25 or even 40.
Row (on ball), 35 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 30 pounds, 15
A bit of odd ab stuff, including one where she had me just sit on the physio ball and pull my navel toward my backbone, then release it, over and over. This is boring. It makes walking the treadmill seem exciting. She wanted me to do 100 of them; boredom aside, after a bit my shoulder got unhappy even at that (which we were trying because most ab things involve the shoulder at least a little).
And then I got on the foam roller; this week I sort of hopped on, without using the support bar. I'm getting good at this. I did use the bar for the one-foot stuff.
