EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Saturday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Jun 16, 2017

Ah, today is a glorious June day in northern Indiana. A shower this morning, but the rest of the day--just perfect.

I walked with a friend this morning and then returned a library book this afternoon. 10,589 steps.

We're moving on!

men52 Hi Elaine! Glad to see you could enjoy the weather and still get some steps in.

We had to do errands all morning with no exercise built in. I worked some more on the garden to get ready for another eventual downpour. That came. Our golden retriever loves catching bubbles so we got some bubble time in. She loves being outside but only if on...See More

jrod Yesterday my husband and I drove 3 hours to the Texas border to help our son move into his apartment. We took him a dining table and chairs that I bought from a neighbor for a really great price. It was 100* while we unloaded the truck.

We took him a dining table and chairs that I bought from a neighbor for a really great price. It was 100* while we unloaded the truck. My husband and son went to pick up his other furniture from where he was living, and I stayed to shampoo the carpet and wipe down everything with disinfecting wipes. My son wasn't convinced that the cleaning done was up to snuff. We drove back and got home after midnight. Exhausting, long day!

Today was strength training. I increased almost all weights from last week's same workout.

--cardio warm-up on treadmill, 5 minutes, 3.0 incline, 3.5 mph --leg press, 110 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets (+10 lbs) --seated leg curl, 60 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets (+30 lbs) --dumbbell bench press, 20 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets (+5 lbs) --triceps pushdowns, 70 lbs, 12 reps, 3 sets (no weight change) --t-bar row, 35 lbs, 10 reps, 3 sets (+10 lbs) --pullups, 10 reps, 3 sets (still modified)

The leg curl was changed from lying to seated because the gym doesn't have the lying leg curl machine. Last week I did the lying leg curl on a mat with a dumbbell held between my feet. I couldn't do that with the heavier dumbbell so I used the machine. I was able to increase the weight by 30 lbs and actually do it.

The dumbbell press is done on lying on a bench. I can't just sit up when I'm done. I usually flop off the side and then sit. Today, I chose to kick my legs to hurl myself up to a seated position. Bad move! I tweaked my hip flexor. I made sure to use the foam roller and stretch after the workout. So, I guess it's back to flopping off the side!

I did a light cardio (hope this doesn't do me in again) since I HAD to complete yesterday's cardio. I chose a heart rate workout and kept the speed at 3.0. The machine changed the incline to get my heart rate up for the duration necessary. The workout lasted 30 minutes.

Tomorrow is my grandson's birthday party. After the party, we are driving to Austin for dinner for father's day. My oldest son works on Sunday so we will celebrate early. That means that no bonus workout for me tomorrow. Not sad at all!

Keep moving!

men52 Funny about the day of the week error! I guess being retired I don't keep track of of what day it that much anymore. If it's not on the calendar that we have something we have to do, it really doesn't matter to me anymore.

Elaine/ret/IN Well, it seems like Saturday! Ditto what Men said. Though I find it quite easy to get confused on appointments in retirement. Sorry!
