Another mid-afternoon session with Emilie (I will have to return to my 6:15 timing when I find a new job, or after she has the baby and returns from maternity leave, whichever comes first, and I may do so sooner than that). Having not had much appetite for my lunch before heading downtown, I stopped off for some soup on the way to the gym, and tipped over my chair while I was in it. No harm, except to the tidiness of my pants, but it left me feeling less than confident, so it was good both to get things to work smoothly and to have Emilie telling me I was doing well.
Cardio, 6 minutes of warmup, top heart rate 119
Rolled out IT band etc.
Hamstring bridge, 4 sets of 9
Ab work on small ball, 3 sets of 10 (nice and smooth, without scalp or anything tensing)
"Opposite arm and leg" balance exercise
Squats, 2 sets of 15
Calf raise, 2 sets of 15
Catch with me standing on foam roller
(The machine we usually use for the next batch was out of order, so I have no weights/resistance numbers to compare this time.)
Lat pulldown on balance platform, 2 sets of 12 standing on both legs, then 12 with each (total of 4 sets, again; we discussed whether to raise the weight soon, since I seem to be settling in to the higher number of reps)
Hug a tree (on solid ground), 2 or 3 sets (I'm doing this from memory)
Arm pulldown (back on platform), 2 sets of 12 on both feet, then six each on just one foot
Triceps pulldown, 3 sets of 12
A bit of rowing on the platform, stopped because my elbows said they'd had enough
