Exercise

[redbird]

One of these days I am going to actually get through my entire workout again--that is, do all the exercises I want to do, as much stuff as I was routinely doing a few months ago. This time, I quit near the end, while doing mat work, because my right shoulder suddenly hurt. Given that what set off the rotator cuff, back in the spring, was mat exercises, I wasn't taking chances. I stopped, got up, went into the trainer office and got an ice pack, iced the shoulder, stretched, and showered.


Cardio, 18 minutes, top heart rate 140. (I also dropped my newspaper on the floor twice; I rarely drop it even once.)

Bicep curls, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Lateral raise, 7.5 pounds left, 2.5 right, 15; 5 pounds left, 2.5 right, 2 sets of 15
Calf machine, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Leg press, 270 pounds, 3 sets of 12. My knees hurt a bit during this, but that's an on-and-off thing that seems completely unaffected by whether/how much I use them.
Tricep pulldown, 50 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Wrist curl, 35 pounds, 15; 30 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Chest press, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 12.

N.B.: That's either a higher weight or more reps than in the last few weeks on almost all of that; the same as last time on the leg press.

Crunches, 2 sets of 20
Back arches, 17, 5. Stopped here because my right shoulder, which was bothering me over the weekend, suddenly hurt.

Iced the shoulder.
