Today’s Totals - May 7th, 2008

I did 30 mins on the treadmill before breakfast. Then I started with another 15 mins, followed by:

A: Deadlift (45lbs) - 36
B1: Dumbbell Shoulder Press (20e) - 28
B2: Pullover (15e) - 23
C1: Lunge (20e) - 20/20
C2: Swiss-ball Crunch - 40

Like the A set, I was mentally aiming for 30 reps of each. The deadlifts started off well, but there was just no way I was getting to 30 reps on the shoulder press. Somehow I thought these ones would have gone better, as I finished with 32lbs each, although barely and with likely very poor form. The pullovers didn’t really surprise me, as these have always been the ones I felt were my weakest. I did the 20 lunges reasonably well (did 20 with one leg, then switched and barely finished the other 20), and got bored with the Swiss-ball Crunch at 40. I find it relatively easy (which probably means I’m doing it wrong :) ).

Oops, forgot to add that I made it up to a 45-min session by getting back on the treadmill for a little bit. I think it worked out to another 8 or 9 mins. Just couldn’t push it out to an hour (which was what I was thinking of, and what I usually do).

From the HRM today:

Exercise Time Cals Max HR Avg HR Max % Avg %
Treadmill 30m 290 146 133 82 75
TM/Strength Training 45m 428 161 136 90 76
Swimming Laps 30m 275 139 130 78 73
Totals 105m 993        

I also did a little over an hour of digging, moving dirt, etc., but I’m only counting it as 30 mins, since I know that I leaned on the shovel for a little bit of the time.  ;)
