Working [out]

[redbird]

Work continues. The dark amusement today was the piece they gave us for proofreading with most of the crucial information missing: that was sent back to Traffic, who were told (something on the order of) that we'll proofread it when they finish typesetting it.

I did a moderately brief workout; I think it used about an hour and a quarter of my time, including extra travel time, showering, and changing clothes.
Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 150
Calf machine, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Xpressline. I wrote down the weights and reps this time (the trainer also has them on the sheet). Unfortunately, I didn't write down the machines, so this is patchy:
Seated leg press: 275 pounds, 12 reps
Leg extension? 40 pounds, 12 reps
Leg curl, 80 pounds, 12 reps.
Lat pulldown?, 70 pounds, 12 reps
A shoulder exercise, 35 pounds, 9 reps: my left shoulder was hurting, so I stopped
??, 45 pounds, 12 reps
Biceps, 30 pounds, 12 reps
Triceps, 30 pounds, 12 reps

The trainer says those 12s mean I should be increasing the weights, and I asked him to write that down for the next time I do expressline. Given the new commute, I expect that to be at least once a week: it seems my only chance of getting anything like enough exercise.

Do you regularly work out with a trainer? Or is this Xpressline one of those deals where the trainer sets the machine for you to speed you up? Either way, what do you think of it?

As for matching numbers to machines, I thought it was more typical to have one's leg-curl and leg-extension within 10-15 lb of each other. Mine always are.
