A reasonably good session with Emilie, though I did have a few moments of fretting because the previous week's workout had left me with a strained muscle in one thigh. (Posting 26 hours later, I will note that, as I mostly expected, I have had no such problems this week.)
Cardio, 13 minutes, top heart rate 141
Rolled out the IT band, thighs, etc.
Hamstring bridge, 4 sets of 10 (I'd done 2 sets of 9 at home the day before, after several days without).
Then we did some things using a Pilates machine: various leg stuff, stretches, and rowing are what i remember. The nice thing about the leg stretches was that I didn't have to pull or hold anything with my hands, so easier on the shoulders. She also had me try a sort of frog-motion one that I didn't like, so we stopped.
Then back to our usual area, where I did:
Squats against the physio ball, 2 sets of 15
Calf raises, ditto (mostly working entirely barefoot because my socks had been sliding)
Standing on the foam roller, quite smooth, including some one-foot stuff
Ab work, on the large ball, I think 2 sets of 10
Emilie showed me a way of moving my head and neck to release tension, which may be useful to know.
Lat pulldown on balance platform, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 12
"Hug a tree," on the solid floor because I was dealing with not wanting to do it at all, for no clear reason, 20 pounds, 2 sets of 12
Triceps thing, 20 pounds, I think also 2 sets of 12
(Everything after the hamstring bridges from memory, as usual, and possibly inaccurate)
