strong! (more gym noodling)

[redbird]

A good workout. Got through three sets on each of the hip ab- and adduction machines (the trick is to alternate, not try to do three sets of one, then three of the other). 28 minutes on the exercise bike, taking level up to 8 because 7 was too easy. Too easy. What a concept. The usual bench press and leg and row and triceps things. Three sets each of the weird arched-back exercise and crunches, again alternating. Stretches. Best of all, three full sets on the leg press, which I hadn't done at all lately, because my knees were bothering me. (set=15 reps, 140 lbs) The theory here is that if an exercise causes joint pain, stop: but I'm familiar by now, alas, with the way my knees ache from that sort of motion, and it felt like climbing stairs, not like damaging them.

A big, strong, tough hobbit. Hooray!

Yikes indeed. Mushrooms might be nice for breakfast...if I'm awake enough to slice things safely.

Strong tough hobbits still aren't suicidal, and pack a meal for adventures when possible.
