I'm starting a gym log to keep track of my exercise. I NEED to get more exercise.

Today's virtuous activity:

Upper Body Workout at the gym

10 minutes brisk walk on the treadmill for warm up

Gym Machines:

Weight x Reps x Sets

Machines:
30# x 10 x 3 Chest Press
40# x 12 x 3 Back Row*
20# x 10 x 3 Lat pulldown

*I don't know what this is really called. It's a machine where you sit on a bench with your feet at 90° to your torso and put your feet on these plates. Then you pull the cable close to your body and let it back slowly. I lean forward to give my back a good stretch and the bottom of the stroke.

With 5# dumbbell in each hand, and bench:

5 x 10 x 3 Butterfly Press (lying down)
5 x 10 x 3 Shoulder Press (seated upright)
5 x 10 x 3 Bicep Curls (Palm up, Hammer, Palm Down) (standing)
5 x 12 x 3 Tricep throwback (hand and knee of one leg on bench)

I know these weights are low, but it's the most I can handle and still get in the reps and sets with good form.

A little more cardio:

10 minutes dancing with my iPod (salsa)

10 minutes stretching, some yoga

Sit ups: 20 x 2

With exception to the mild headache I walked in with, which I still had when I left, I felt very good after this workout.

I need to get a better way to carry my iPhone. Today, since my pants had no pockets, I tucked it into my waistband. Most unattractive.
