Hi all! Went to the gym today...

Tricept Extension: 50lbs 2 sets of 12 reps
Adominals: 60lbs 2 sets of 12 reps

Cardio
Cross trainer - 10 minutes, more than last time!

You might have noticed that I gave up the keeping track of miles, its tough to do for the cross trainer and strength training.

I did my whole workout!

For strength training I did:
Leg Push: 100lbs 12 times 2 reps
Leg Extension : 70lbs 12 times 2 reps
Leg Curl: 70lbs 12 times 2 reps
Hip Abduction: 100lb 12 times 2 repss
Hip Adduction: 90lbs 12 times 2 reps

Also I did 20 minutes on the Treadmill at 3.0.. still no incline.

Did you notice I added more weights to my strength training?

My workout:

Adominals: 60lbs 2 sets of 12 reps

Cardio
Cross trainer - 7 minutes
I had a problem on the cross trainer. I had just did 7 minutes when my legs then my body started shaking. The back of my left knee was hurting alittle, I just couldn't go any more.
What happened?
I didn't eat a regular dinner last night, could that be it?
I drink a half a liter of water before working out.
My strength training was more differcult today, I didn't up the ones I felt weak in.
Is this a normal thing? It was like hitting a wall.

I don't know about you, but I upped my carbs and my calories significantly since I started weight training. The few times I tried to cut back to induction levels I felt a bit listless and weaker.

I also haven't lost anything lately but maybe my luck will change soon as I can tell I'm getting stronger.

I can always go back to induction levels after I finish my 12 weeks. Woo hoo week 6 is almost done!

That would be my guess. I mean if you forgot to put gas in your car would you be surprized when it suddenly stalled???

Exercise is very taxing that is why it burns so many calories and that is why your body NEEDS to be fed.

I ate my dinner.. honest!

Leg Curl: 70lbs 12 times 2 reps

Oh my goodness did that make a difference my heart rate went about 130! I tried it because I had only a half hour to go to the gym and I thought it would intencify my workout.. oh yes it did!
I feel great.

My arms are so sore by my shoulders this morning from yesterday's workout.

Well instead of going to the gym today I walked to work instead. I have to walk home after work as well. I live .54 miles away and it took me about 15 minutes to do (Several streets to cross). I think I did pretty well.

Your workouts look great!!!! Just took a peak through your gym log and I am impressed

Keep it up

hugs Mischa

Well, Thank you Mischa!

Yesterday I did walk home from work. I found out its slightly down hill from home to work and visa versa going from work to home.

Today I did walk to work but I'm getting a ride home. I noticed the front part of my calfs were alittle sore from yesterday. I wonder if there are exercises for that part. My back of calfs didn't hurt at all, neither my thighs. Its wonderful knowing you can walk to work without breathing hard.

For Strength training I did:
Leg Push: 110lbs 20 times 2 reps
Leg Extension : 70lbs 16 times 2 reps
Leg Curl: 70lbs 20 times 2 reps
Hip Abduction: 100lb 20 times 2 repss
Hip Adduction: 100lbs 20 times 2 reps
I added repitition

I did 10 minutes on the Treadmill at 3.0.. with a 1% incline.

Good for you for adding incline to your treadmill. I still haven't done that, though I know that I should. Next week I think that my walking partner and I may walk around the neighborhood instead of doing the track. There's quite a few more hills. Scott will be home next week so I'll be able to leave DD at home and wont have to use the back carrier (whick is killer on the calves btw ).

wow! I forgot to write in my gym journal... lets see, I did go to the gym last week for two days and this week I went today.

My workout:
strength training
Pull downs: 70lbs 2 sets of 20 reps
Compound Row: 60lbs 2 sets of 20 reps
Overhead Press: 50lbs 2 sets of 12 reps
Lateral Raise: 60s 2 sets of 20 reps
Tricept Extension: 60lbs 2 sets of 20reps
Maybe you noticed I added more reps to my sets, I can feel the effects better this way, my muscles don't hurt but they do feel tired, a good tired.


Cardio
Cross trainer - 5 minutes, my heart just wasn't into it... I need a CD player...
