Gym Monday

[redbird]

I went to the gym after work yesterday. This is part of the plan to do Monday-Thursday-Saturday as a regular thing, which got off to a bad start last week when I skipped Thursday.

Cardio, 13 minutes (I seem not to have recorded a top heart rate)

Xpressline:

Seated leg press, 310 pounds, 12.
Leg extension, 60 pounds, 12.
Leg curl, 100 pounds, 12.
Lat pulldown, 85 pounds, 12.
Overhead press, 30 pounds, 12.
Vertical chest press, 45 pounds, 12.
Biceps, 35 pounds, 10
Triceps, 40 pounds, 12

I chatted a bit with one of the trainers while I was doing this, and observed that I'm doing better than most of the people I know, because I'm showing up. I suspect it helps that my morning train companion also goes to the gym regularly (though mostly just to run on a treadmill).

Calf machine, 60 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 55 pounds, 15. I made a point of using this machine, because I'd had a bit of leg cramp just walking around Port Washington on my lunch hour.

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
