I've not generally been recording the odd sets of stretches or squats that I fit into regular activities (like waiting for a train), just as I don't record walking around as part of exercise (though I would likely mention a five-mile hike).
A couple of days ago,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_maenad commented on my keeping track of all this; as I noted there, while the data may be useful for something at some point, I rarely go look at previous numbers, and part of this is just keeping happy a piece of my brain that likes to count things. And I'm counting anyway, set by set, so writing it down at the time is easy enough.
I'm not sure if that's the same part of my brain that looks at proof pages at work and immediately points out that 53 and 59 are both prime (relevant to a multiple-choice question in sixth-grade math). Related, probably.
Cardio, 20 minutes, top heart rate 144
Chest press, 70 pounds, 11, 5. I might have managed a better second set if I'd taken a minute to stretch and rest between, but I got distracted by a trainer asking how much longer I wanted that machine.
Leg press, 250 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}
Calf raise, 80 pounds, 2 sets of 13; 75 pounds, 13
Wrist curls, 30 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arch, 2 sets of 17 [and I did two sets at work in the morning, while the server was down]
Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 15; 2.5 each, 15, some walking in place during second set (the shoulders weren't up to two sets at the higher weight)
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
My lower back was twinging by the end of the bicep curls, so I stopped there.
