Strength/cardio day!

Today, I decided that I needed to bump my weights and/or reps for my strength workout.

--lat pull down: increased from 40 lbs to 45 lbs, reps same --leg press: increased from 60 lbs to 70 lbs, same reps --chest press: increased from 20 lbs to 25 lbs --bicep curls: didn't change because it still gets harder the last few curls --overhead press: increased from 7.5 lbs just the last set; will go back down due to difficulty in maintaining form --back extension: no changes --forearm plank: increased from 30 seconds to 45 seconds --stability ball sit ups: increased from 15 reps to 20 reps

Today's cardio was just walking at a moderate pace of 3.0 mph. I have an appointment with podiatrist tomorrow so I didn't want to have a tender foot. Right foot has zero pain (YAY) but left is still at a level 1-2 for pain.

Keep moving!
judy5ca I'm so embarrassed to post my ordinary exercise after JRod.

I'm a little below goal and trying to maintain this weight. I frequently try on pants (my problem area) that I don't wear right now and smile to find most are no longer tight or too small, in fact, quite a few are too big.

I had errands to run today so I only walked 5,0...See More

Elaine/ret/IN JRod--those weights sound very hefty to me. Hefty weights = svelts JRod. Yay for less foot pain.

Judy, great on the below weight status. Bet you didn't patronize the grocery stores during the pre-super-bowl hype. ;)

9845 steps today. Bet I'll hit the magic 10,000 before I sleep. Lots to do yet tonight. I walked inside at the libr...See More

Elaine/ret/IN to Bev Virtual hugs to your mom. Real ones would probably hurt. Why do these things happen? I hope they caught it early.

Bev-MI Yes, I think it's in the early stage...She has meds for
seven days. No pain! Hopefully the meds will take over and
get her cleared up quickly. Thanks for the hugs!! <3
