I've been to the gym. Twice.

Yes, twice. At lunchtime I had a sudden impulse and followed it up to 35th Street, where I did my mat work—crunches, back arches, and the yoga tree&and a few stretches. Limiting it to that meant I was okay just doing it in my street clothes, not changing before and showering and changing after. Jeans aren't ideal for this, but they'll do. Then I walked a little, looked at flowering cherries in bloom on Park Avenue, got lunch, and took it back to my desk.

The mat work is nice, but it's hardly a full workout, so I went to the gym after work, as I'd originally planned, and did cardio and weight stuff.


Fit the First: Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 6 sets of {3 on each leg}
Back and shoulder stretches

Fit the Second: Cardio, 13 minutes plus one cooldown, top heart rate 142
Leg press, 300 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Chest press, 50 pounds, 12, 9
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Triceps pulldown, 45 pounds, 6: my elbows didn't like this, so I stopped. (The chest press also exercises the triceps some, so I haven't been neglecting them.)
Wrist curl, 25-pounds bar, 2 sets of 15
Balance ~fly, 50 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}
Cross-body pull for rotator cuff, 35 pounds, 15 right hand, 9 left

Back arch with physio ball, 11 (I thought it plausible since I'd already done crunches; 6 hours may not be long enough between those two)
Balance lateral raise, 3 pounds each hand, 15
Balance squats, 15
Biceps curls, 8 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
Hip adduction, 90 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Hip abduction, 75 pounds, 11

Stretches (my full set)
