A short workout this time, to maintain good habits while not stressing the shoulder, which was hurting a little during the afternoon. No upper-body stuff at all.
I ran into
cattitude on the A train home, which was pleasant; we kissed, nattered a bit, and went shopping together on the way home. One of the things we bought was a red-leaf lettuce: I turned that, some of the leftover chicken, a cucumber, and useful odds and ends into a nice big salad for supper.
Cardio, 15 minutes, top heart rate 132
Calf machine, 80 pounds, 12; 75 pounds, 10; 60 pounds, 12. I think this machine either is more difficult, or has heavier hardware, so that the same amount of weight plates piled on has me lifting more total weight. I'm going to drop back to 75 for a bit, I think.
Leg press, 190 pounds, 2 sets of 14. I went to the gym intending to do a lower weight on that than usual, and pay more attention to form, and when I got to that machine, it had that much loaded on from the previous user. I frankly suspect I've been putting more weight on that one than I'm really ready for.
Hip adduction, 100 pounds, 15, 10
Hip abduction, 75 pounds, 2 sets of 12
Back arch/lift with physio ball, 3 sets of 15. This does some of the same good stuff as crunches, plus maybe a bit of balance help, and the shoulders don't move, so I'm not worried about re-straining the rotator cuff.
Stretches.
