Exercise - Mar 26th, 2008
The morning was 2 x 30-min sessions on the treadmill. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:
| Sets | Reps | Set 1 | Set 2 | |
| A: Deadlift | 2 | 12 | 30/12 | 35/12 |
| B1: Dumbbell Shoulder Press | 2 | 12 | 12e/12 | 14e/12 |
| B2: Wide-grip Lat Pulldown (Pullover) | 2 | 12 | 10e/12 | 12e/12 |
| C1: Lunge | 2 | 12 | 8e/12 | 10e/12 |
| C2: Swiss-ball Crunch | 2 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Where there is a single number that confirms that I did the number of reps called for. Where there are two numbers the first is the amount of weight I used, followed by reps.
And I followed with another 15 mins on the treadmill. Today, once again, I wasn’t sure I could do those last 15 mins but I did manage it. I felt a pain in my right hamstring doing the lunges, but the walk out afterwards seems to have taken most of that away. So, I’m back to the usual sore knee. The only good thing about it is that it’s something I can live with, and will be a little better in the morning. I see the sun shining and the snow is melting so I just keep thinking about the possible pool opening. It seems to keep me going. Of course with warmer weather comes cutting back the berry bushes, planting a few new ones in the bed I prepared last fall. As well as cleaning out the pots and getting them ready to plant. With such a long winter though I think I’m even looking forward to that kind of stuff.
Oh, I changed the notation slightly. I realized that I’ve been putting the total weight for the dumbbells, instead of how much each one weighs, so I thought I’d change that now. The pullover is the one I’m having the most trouble with. Yes, even with the pain today during the lunges, I still found the pullovers the toughest. We’ll see how I do with them next week, but I feel like I’m at the maximum weight with them at the moment.
