I posted to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
irongirls a little while ago about the frustration of having lost ground, in terms of numbers (weight and reps), on the weight-lifting. I'm know the numbers aren't the important part, but it's still hard when I can see how much ground I lost from the time not working out, between the Bell's palsy over the summer and the recent bout of bronchitis. The good news is that I'm doing more time on the cardio (which is difficult in part because I find it boring), though not up to the 33 minutes I'd been doing a year ago (the feature section of the newspaper is shorter than it was, I think, so I run out of reading/distraction sooner).
Numbers:
Cardio, 24 minutes, top heart rate 151
Chest press, 70 pounds, 11; 65 pounds, 8
Calf lift, 75 pounds, 13, 11; 70 pounds, 12
~Fly, 50 pounds, 15 with each leg forward
Leg press, 250 pounds, 3 sets of 12 (as on Monday, I attempted 270 and it was too much)
Adjustable row, 80 pounds, 10; 70 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}
Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 15
Balance lateral raise, 2.5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Hip adduction, 110 pounds, 13, 9; 90 pounds, 4 (to round off the second set)
Hip abduction, 95 pounds, 13, 11
Bicep curl, 8 pound dumbbell in each hand (smallest possible increment), 2 sets of 20
