I added a new machine to my workout today, after seeing someone else using it. This one works the upper calves: you sit, and when you raise your calves you're lifting however much weight you've put on the machine. I got one of the trainers to show me how to use it, and will probably be doing it at least semi-regularly: it's too easy for me to assume my legs are taken care of because of the amount of walking I do, but my actual weight work is skewed toward upper-body stuff, in part because of my knee problems.
Cardio, 22 minutes, top heart rate 140 (the Saturday paper isn't as good for distraction and amusement as Monday-Friday)
Assisted chin-up, still at max assist: 10, 6
Hip abduction, 100 pounds, 13, 8
Bench press, 50 pounds, 14, 11+3, 9+4
Seated leg curl, 85 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Calf machine (I should find a name for it--it is devoid of any label whatsoever, even the color-coded difficulty level tags and the caution sticker): 20 pounds, 3 sets of 10
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 16
Tree
Triceps pulldown, 40 pounds, 13, 6; 35 pounds, 15 (started at 40 because the machine with the five-pound increments wasn't available when I started)
Adjustable row, 110 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Underhand wrist curl, 3 pounds each hand, 3 sets of 15
Bicep curl, left arm only, 15 pounds, 15, 10. I did left-only because my right shoulder was a bit sore, and stopped when I did because of a wrist twinge. (I do sound grumpy and creaky, don't I?)
Leg extension, 45 pounds, 5; 35 pounds, 5
Stretches
Thence down to Chinatown, where I was less thrilled with the buns than the last time I went to that bakery. Ah, well. Time to go wandering again.
Up at Union Square, nothing caught my eye at the Greenmarket, but I wandered down a street market/fair, where I picked up an Ecuadoran cotton shirt, the light-weight long-sleeved ones that are good against sunburn, and some pillowcases. The next stop was at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
porcinea's, to feed and water the animals, and comb Trouble. He's a fine fellow, and happy to sit with me while I read. Anya actually let me pet her today; Heather was aggressive and knocked some of her food onto the floor while I was trying to get it into her bowl. Stupid rabbit.
