redbird: me with purple hair (purple)
([personal profile] redbird Sep. 13th, 2007 09:37 pm)
I hadn't been to the gym in almost two weeks, largely because of the Farthing Party--the very minimal exercise room at the hotel failed to tempt me away from my beloveds, the city, the con programming, or other good socializing and conversation. By yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I were both noticing the effect on my mood. I went today, and did a bunch of the usual stuff, plus one unusual: after seeing someone else do it, I did a rotator cuff strengthening exercise I had been doing (or, more accurately, not doing recently) with a piece of red elastic. I took a few other things slightly easy, since it had been 13 days.

Cardio, 13 minutes, top heart rate 138
Chest press, 65 pounds, 12, 6 [I'd been aiming for at least ten in the second set, but six was what I had in me]
Leg press, 230 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Lateral cuff exercise, right arm only, up and across the body, 20 pounds, 15
Glute machine, 37.5 pounds, 15 with each leg
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20

Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arch, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}
