Friday Fitness Diary








Dear Diary,

Today kicked butt! I walked in the door like I knew what I was doing and held my card out for the lady at the front desk to scan. I sashayed through the geriatric association gathered by the coffee pots to make a quick trip to the little girls room before getting started. That sauna was calling my name, but I had bigger fish to fry.

I grabbed a towel from the front desk and found me a nice recumbent bike to ride for 30 minutes. No problems getting started (of course, I'm a pro). As I was warming up an older gentleman that worked there approached the bike and offered to check to make sure I had a heartbeat, but I showed him my polar and told him I am good to go - hehe - he called me a cheater! :) He walked past 3 more times and winked at me each time - I was working HARD, I hope the wink meant he was impressed! HAHA.

Ok, so I finish the very sweaty bike ride and I head over to the cables/dumbbell area for some upper body work:
  • cable lateral raises (no weight (NW), 7 reps X2)
  • rows (#7, 12 reps X2)
  • tricep extensions (#4, 12 reps X2)
  • pushups (NW, 10 reps X2)
  • front raises (6#, 15 reps X2)
  • bicep curls (12#, 12 reps X2)
  • ball crunches (NW, 25 reps X2)
  • back extensions (10#, 12 reps X2)
Followed up by 15 mins on the elliptical - 1 min level 7, 2 min L8, 3 min L9, 4 min L10, 1 min L11, 1 min L10, 1 min L9, 1 min L8.

Stretch for 5-7 min with a total of 75 workout minutes (mhr 172-93%, ahr 138-75%), burning 537 awesome calories.
