Aug 25: trying to change up my exercise but my plans shifted today. My phone is dying so I had to go to the AT&T store. So instead of Zumba I did one bikram class in the morning. I had free time in the afternoon so I did a second class!
So two classes each 95 minutes
Ran 4.27 miles on the usual path, with my changing, jouncy gait, which rarely feels quite right, whether downhill, uphill or on the level. Passed a group of local prep school athletes out on a run, which tells me school's in session, or very nearly so.
Sunday, August 25: 3 mile walk with mom
Monday, August 26: 1.23 miles on treadmill in 10:00. Barbell shoulder press, KB squat, seated cable row, DB lying tricep extensions

I'm a real wimp compared with the rest of you here! But comparisons are such a waste of time so I just admire you all and plod along. My dream is to become as fit as I was a few years ago but without the ever-building injuries. I'm definitely on the right road.
45 minutes core work including ..... drumroll please.... 6 sets of 5 chin-ups!
Wow. Still working diligently toward this on the assisted pullup machine. (I had to take last week off to rest my right arm.) I will get to this, but on my own time. My heavier body weight probably makes it tougher.
Anyway, back to weights today:
30 minutes Stairmaster, intervals, resistance at nine, a tough slog, trying to focus on stepping on my midfoot, not toe
60 minutes chest, shoulders & triceps routine
Friday 8/23 - 45 minutes on the elliptical, alternating incline, resistance and speed program
Saturday 8/24 - 30 minutes weight lifting, 5.5 on the bike
Sunday 8/25 - rested
Monday 8/26 - 40 minutes weight lifting, 2 hours hard yard work - mowing, edging, weeding, moving around some furniture
Tuesday - travelling but I've managed to get 8.7k steps in. That's 5.5km or 3.4 miles so quite good. It was an amble round an Elizabethan (C16th) house and gardens plus a quick trot round a C15th town whilst waiting for a takeaway.
The dog lovers will like this next bit.
I've been saying that the DB is like a big dog who needs regular food and walks. Tonight he said I should think of myself like that and took me off round this lovely town. Good. I'll take all encouragement.
