It turns out that an effective way of getting me to lift weights is telling me that I probably shouldn't. (No, I don't think this was the intention, but thank you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adrian_turtle, love.) I did also do the cardio, as advised, and take a long hot shower when I was done.
Cardio, 31 minutes, top heart rate 150.
Calf machine, 70 pounds, 2 sets of 13; 65 pounds, 11
Leg press, 250 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 230 pounds, 12. In setting this one up, I thought "My upper-body exercise may be carrying weight plates for my lower-body exercise," but I did some upper-body stuff afterwards:
Tricep pulldown, 45 pounds, 20 (?), 10. I wasn't paying close attention to the numbers in my head, and found my count at 20; I normally aim for 15 on this one. And then was worn out at 10 in the next set.
A back exercise with something that I think is the "angled chest pad barbell rowing", instead of my usual adjustable row: 10 pounds, 12; 20 pounds 9. I stopped the second set because of pain in my right shoulder: the problem, I think, is that this machine requires the user to control its motion more. I'm glad I tried it, but I think I'm going back to my old reliable machine.
Leg extension, 60 pounds, 11, 7
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}
