I made it to the gym by leaving work on time (okay, ten minutes later, but for me that's nothing!). I wish I didn't have my hour commute home either.
I did my usual: 30 minutes stair master; 30 minutes weightlifting and stretching and floor exercises. I watched the Hunting Ground on Netflix while on the stair master. It was amazing! It is a doc on sexual assault on campuses, focusing on two young women who became successful activists in this area. Recommended!

I worked with a new trainer today. He's not your typical trainer in that he's not big and buff and a baby. He's in his 30s and he's an everyman type with a slight gut. Plus his wife and I have the same name and we both have big calves.
Warm up: elliptical, cross country program Stats: 98.5 cal, .96 mi, 15:00 min 30 min of background and goal orientation 30 min strength training He wants me to keep a food journal, trade the elliptical for the arc trainer and the bugger gave me homework. Homework! Cool down: 10 min stretching |

After the kennel I came home and cut a little over an acre of grass with my push mower. And it was real hot here too so I sweat the whole time.

30 minutes on the stairmaster.
OMG, today was what I call a "struggle" work-out. That's when you are having a day where you are so exhausted you can't imagine going to the gym but you go anyway and persevere through it. Now I feel so good! Oh, and check out "Holy Hell" on Netflix. It was so incredible! (Watched while on Stairmaster)

Doing 30 to 45 min. of exercises in pool last 4 days!!!!
I do al the exercises the Fitness Instructor gave me to do...plus I add as many as I know of on my own. I do 3 or 4 reps of 12 each rep. I can tell a difference!!! I also use my resistance bands inside along with the hand weights I have. I want to be able to go back to gym once I get my life settled down....

Okay so I hurt myself today. I guess if I am being honest, I saw this coming days ago. I probably weakened something with a day long hike over rough terrain that I did days ago. So since then during workouts and even just regular stuff like climbing stairs I noticed a pull in my front lower thigh/knee area, naturally I pushed even harder and made myself walk up more stairs and do more stuff to work it out. But instead of that happening it got much worse today during my workout. My wife is annoyed because she says that normal people don't push themselves when they are hurt, they stop and rest it. I don't agree. I mean, of course if you are really hurt you rest and ice, but not for every little twinge. It usually works when I push through stuff but this time it didn't. But I don't think I'm so unusual for believing that is the way to go initially. What do others think? Is my wife right, am I alone in believing when something hurts you just work it harder?

I did about 6 hours of manual labor outside in metal buildings. Sweeping and walking and bending and cleaning, oh my.

Today I did 25 min on the stairmaster and 5 minutes of weight lifting and stretching. It's an exhausting week.
Miss Tick, I agree and disagree. Sometimes for sure, yes, but after watching way too many seasons of Dance Moms, I see how it often does work to push through pain. Quote:

Ya, I guess it depends. I have a feeling as I get older pushing through the pain might not work out as well as it used to.

It was Sunday evening at the gym for me. I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster (level 2-3) and 30 minutes of weight lifting, floor exercises, and stretching.
I am off tomorrow so I can go again, after a good sleep. Yay

I hit the gym this morning and obeyed my trainer's wishes and mounted that Arc Trainer.
I have to say that I'm too wide. These Italian birthing hips of mine kept brushing the edges of the contraption and it's designed like a cage, so even though I'm not a claustrophobic type person normally it made me feel a bit cagey like I was a trapped animal. BUT I kept calm and carried on! Cybex Arc Trainer, weight loss program Stats: 194 cal, 1.24 mi, 25:00 min I wanted to do a little bit more but not really overextend myself so I hit up the treadmill. Precor954i, random program Stats: 77.1 cal, .65 mi, 20:00 min Followed by: Stretching |

When I had a trainer, he told me the same thing: no elliptical, yes Arc. He said it is because we can lift our heels on the elliptical but not on the Arc. I went thru a major Arc phase before I arrived at the highly addictive stair master.

My doc has me off work and temporarily banned from all forms of exercise including lifting anything over 2lbs. Well that's a pretty big restriction because that's means I can't even lift so much as a bag of sugar. My doc said you're pre-diabetic, the last thing you need to be doing is lifting any sugar anywhere, least of all to your lips! I love my doctor, he's so politically incorrect. Anyhow I go in for a blood draw/labs in another couple three weeks and hopefully my med levels will be high enough for him to lift the restriction, give me the green light go to exercise again.
I had just gotten back to running (well for me running, more like jogging for most) and was really enjoying it even if it was only a couple three short sprints here and there during the week. Right now I just feel like a great big huge slug. That and like a wayward child on restriction because my younger son who was going to fill up my exercise balance ball said - Not that I don't trust you or anything but doctor's orders, and then took his foot pump home. Geez you'd have thought I was asking him to smuggle drugs into the country for me or something. RME |

I did 45 minutes on the stair master. The first 30 I did on Levels 3/4 and then I incorporated some Level 2 for the last 15 minutes. Then I did 15 minutes of weightlifting and ab exercises.
I watched yet another good doc on Netflix while on the stairmaster. It is called "Hot Girls wanted" and it is about young women who go into amateur porn. It really let the girls tell their stories and was quite interesting.
