Exercised before the storm
When I woke up this morning, my gym's website said "call your branch to check on hours" and the MBTA said they were going to keep running as long as safe/possible. So I called the Davis Square branch, and they said they were going to be open normal hours.
I headed out around 9:30; it was gray, sort of mizzling, and a bit windy, but not bad weather for waiting for a bus for a few minutes. While I was working out, I overheard someone say the MBTA was going to be shutting down at 2 p.m., which gave me about three and a half hours. Plenty of time to do a couple more exercises, walk across the street for a crepe and some tea as either a large elevenses or a very early lunch. Then home to Arlington, without a hitch; I was back indoors before noon. We have bought groceries (many of which are currently becoming beef stew) and done some laundry; Adrian is filling bottles with drinking water, just in case.
The forecast here doesn't look bad, but I will be keeping an eye on things in New York City, of course.
I decided the walk from Mass Ave. to Davis Square would count as warm-up.
Rolled out IT band, etc.
Hamstring bridge, 4 sets of 9
Psoas exercise, 4 pairs
Crunches, 3 sets of 15
Biceps curls sitting on ball, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Lat pulldown, 50 pounds, 12; 65 pounds, 12; 50 pounds, 1 foot, 8 each
Back exercise, 35 pounds, 2 sets of 12; one foot, 20 pounds, 6 each
Squats, 3 sets of 15
Opposite arm/leg, 12 pair
Lunges, 10 with each foot forward (no mirror and I wasn't confident of the positioning)
Hip adduction, 80 pounds, 12, 11
Calf raise, 15, 12, 15
Row, standing, with an elastic, 3 sets of 12
