Activities - Thursday 11th

[Caylor]

Ok, I felt that I should join the PRE's (progressive resisted exercisers). I pulled my gloves and dumbells out and started with some basics.

In the morning I accomplished 20 minutes on the machine and my triceps, then jumped back on the machine in the evening to do another 20 minutes and finish off with biceps/brachialis work.

Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! I'll be feeling it later.
Thanks for the inspiration guys! :)

You guys have inspired me!

I actually went over and checked out he gym yesterday!

Of course, I didn't stay and DO anything. But I looked!

20 mins on the Elliptical, on the hardest workout I've done since I resumed using one. I started out at resistance 1, and every minute I increased it by 1 until minute 9 put me at resistance 10 - the max. Held that for 2 minutes, then backed down the resistance in 1 minute intervals until minute 19 was back at resistance 1 (none).

Good workout - 350 cals, 100 of them fat, and almost 1000 revolutions.

Took K on a walk.

Then took K on a second walk, b/c he was hyper after being cooped up all day :o

Not much, in other words.

Haha! Careful with that.

Once I had taken some exercise time off, and first day out of the gate I worked my arms really hard.

I woke up at about 3 am with dinosaur arms, I literally couldn't straighten them out. I had to hook my forearm with my leg and use my leg to pull it into a straighten postion. It hurt. :lol:

What did I do on Wednesday?

O yea, gym and the ellipitical, again.

yeah! been there too. I'm keeping the resistance at 10 lbs and doing 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps. I change position btwn sets (ie. one set bicep, one set brachialis or one set overhead Tricep then one set behind the back in a modified prone position). I find it helps me reduce overstraining risk and decreases my overall boredom with PRE's.

I don't always enjoy weights...bleh!
