Crampy Sunday

I swam for about 30 minutes and then felt the cramps coming on so I got out of the pool. Will need to make up for the lack of exercise this weekend.

Walk n' Roll for Ataxia

Well, today was the first ever Walk n' Roll for Ataxia event. The turnout was pretty big considering it being a first time thing. There must have been at least 75 people there. I would rate it a success based on the amount of people that showed up and the overall experience of it being fun. After that, to get my exercise in, I went swimming. I only swam about 45 minutes until I had cramps in my calf and of all places, my foot. I've never had a cramp hurt as much as the one in the foot did. Hopefully it's not too bad and I can swim again tomorrow.

Wednesday slowness

On Wednesday, I spent about 15 minutes on the elliptical machine and 10 minutes (2.14 miles) on the stationary bike. I shot some baskets too but missed a lot.

Semi-Light Tuesday Workout

I wasn't feeling as sore or tired today as I did yesterday so I did 15 minutes on the elliptical machine and then proceeded to lift some weights. I didn't do as many sets as I normally do, just about 2 sets for my hamstrings, quadriceps, shoulders, chest, back, and triceps. Shot some baskets later and all shots were pretty off.

Light Monday Workout

Since my legs and arms were sore from swimming on Sunday, I decided to just keep everything light and no weights. I did about 15 minutes on the elliptical machine and then shot some baskets. Shots were feeling good.

Swimming fun

Went swimming today. Both shoulders are pretty sore... The good thing though is that I can swim a full lap back and forth in the pool. Not consistently though as I get tired still. I was also swimming from one end to the other in one breath a little easier today but stopped since I was feeling dizzy afterwards.

Friday's workout before letting loose

I wasn't really planning to exercise today, but I figure that I will have a few drinks today and tailgate tomorrow at Stanford - SJSU. Didn't want to feel guilty so I went on the elliptical machine for 15 minutes and then the stationary bike for another 15 minutes (3.15 miles). I then lifted some light weights and did 4 sets of squats for my legs.

A Wednesday Workout

I've exercised for at least 5 days in a row now. It does feel kind of good to stay consistent, although it is probably one of the harder things to do while working out... Today I was on the elliptical machine for about 15 minutes. Wasn't an easy 15 minutes for those that were thinking it's not too hard. Then I rode a stationary bike for about 20 minutes. Once again I was wrong about the measurements... They actually are miles and not kilometers. I couldn't ride the stationary bike for too long or too far because it wasn't the seat with the back but the one with an actual bike seat which would hurt my crotch anytime I rode fast. I still managed about 4.3 miles from it.

Tuesday Workout

Rode the stationary bike again today for 25 minutes (5.34 kilometers). I think starting tomorrow, I will add more cardio like doing the elliptical machine as well. After that, I went to do squats on the machine again. 3 sets of 120 lbs. and then 1 set of 180 lbs. Felt like I would collapse after the 180 lbs. set so I walked it off by going downstairs and shooting some baskets. Will probably work out again tomorrow and then take Thursday off.

Working out on Monday

I rode the stationary bike for about 3.35 kilometers until the guy next to me started to cough like crazy and do that snot thing when your nose is running. Instead I went and did some light leg workouts. 3 sets each of squats (120 lbs.), hamstring and leg curls (60 lbs.). Left knee was a little sore but after the first set of squats, it wasn't sore much.

Swimming was a bad idea...

So as the title says... bad idea to swim today. My shoulder is really killing me now. I swam for a good bit and then it got really sore as my arm went over my head and into the water. I think tomorrow at the gym I will stick to a strict cardio workout and some squats for my knees.

Exercising again

After taking 3 days off from exercising, I went swimming today. I'm almost able to swim down and back without having to stop. Left shoulder and triceps are sore though so probably won't swim tomorrow.

Exercise 2 days in a row...

Yep, as crazy as it sounds, I worked out again today. I did about 25 minutes on the stationary bike for about 5.33 km. Couldn't do any weight lifting because of yesterday. Muscles are actually still pretty sore... Next time I won't work out all the major muscle groups on the same day.

Tuesday Workout

Went to the gym today and did about 25 minutes of cardio. Apparently, I misread the units on the stationary bike and it is actually measured in kilometers and not miles. So all previous posts need to be converted to kilometers. I did a little over 5 kilometers today and then did some weight lifting. Pretty much worked all major muscle groups very lightly but went a little hard on the leg exercises. Trying to strengthen my left knee so it doesn't hurt so much when I run hard. Overall, I think today was my best workout.

Sunday Swim...

I swam today and wasn't tired out as easily as last time. I could swim from one end of the pool to the other in 1 breath but had to walk back because it was exhausting. Need to build up more lung capacity. Left shoulder is sore too, but that will go away once I get used to the motion again. Time to do some light weight lifting to get the shoulders stronger.

Power To The Peaceful Festival

I consider this exercise because I was walking around in SF. Shins are currently sore.

Swimming, YAY!

I swam again for the first time since moving to California. Went to the pool at ClubONE and it felt a lot different than the ocean. I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. I realized how much shoulder and chest muscles I've lost since moving. Couldn't really continually swim a few laps like before and ran out of breath often. Will try to go back and swim more since it doesn't hurt my knee as much and I am getting pretty good cardio out of it.
