Tuesday Workout

I did cardio for about 20 minutes on the elliptical machine at the Club One near Oakridge Mall. I kind of like their machines better because it looks newer and has a TV on them. Too bad I don't know how to turn them on. =( After cardio, I finished my split. Worked 3 sets on my shoulders, back, quads, and 1 set on the triceps. Very sore afterwards.

Monday Split Routine

Today I spent about 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Worked pretty hard on it since I've been indulging myself the last 4 days. I also did my first split today. Worked on hamstrings and calfs for legs. Then I did chest and biceps. Tomorrow will be shoulders, back, triceps, and quads.

Light Sunday Workout

I swam for about 40 minutes today. I tried swimming underwater again and looks like I got about 3/4 of the way across. I really want to be able to swim the length of that small pool in one breath underwater. Maybe in about 2 months I'll be able to, unless the weather gets too cold for swimming. =(

Saturday Swim

I swam for about 30 minutes today. Got really tired and winded after I was trying to swim the length of the pool in one breath underwater. It looked like I got about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through. I'll probably try again on Sunday.

Light Friday Workout

Today I did another 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. I am feeling good when I do cardio and it isn't as tiring as before. Next month I will probably try and increase cardio by 5 minutes.

Brisk Thursday Workout

Didn't do too much today. Just did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine so I wouldn't feel too guilty about the self indulgence that would happen later at the Supper Club.

Incomplete Wednesday Workout

Well, I did 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine and proceeded to catch up on the weight lifting that I cut short yesterday. It seems I had to cut today's short as well because my muscles were pretty sore. It's looking like I'll need to split up the weight lifting sessions again. For the rest of this week, I'll just stick to cardio and let my muscles heal.

Incomplete Tuesday Workout

Today I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and worked up a real good sweat. After that, I did 20 minutes (4.90 miles) on the stationary bike. Just wanted to keep the momentum going from the elliptical machine so I was pedaling kind of hard. I then proceeded to lift weights but felt very tired so I didn't finish all the muscle groups I normally do. I did 3 sets for my legs, chest, and lats. I tried to do back and shoulders but was really worn out. Will try to finish tomorrow in the gym.

Late Monday Workout

I had to workout during my lunch hour today because I went to work a bit later than usual. I didn't really do any exercising on Sunday so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and 20 minutes (4.80 miles) on the stationary bike.

Saturday Swim

I tried to swim today but had a hard time blowing air out of my nose as it was congested so I ended up doing a few laps and then just walking in the pool. Current weight is at 183 now. Not sure if I can hit the target I set at the beginning of the month but will still try.

Friday Feel Good Workout

I chose to skip out on dodgeball today so as not to get other people sick with my germs on the ball and such. Instead, I went to the gym to do 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine. After that, I did 1 set of weights for all muscles and was done for the day. I think it will be good that I can swim tomorrow with no pain in my shoulder for once. =)

A Thursday Workout

I worked out today after taking Wednesday off due to sickness. Spent 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and maintained a high pace for the whole time. After that, I did 20 minutes (4.26 miles) on the stationary bike. It feels like doing the stationary bike is more of a cool down for me than a workout. Will either need to increase the speed or change the difficulty. Also did some weight lifting. 2 sets for major muscle groups and 2 sets for isolated muscles. Overall, I felt good. =)

Sick Tuesday Workout

Yep, even though I was sick, I still went to the gym to workout. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine again and another 20 minutes (4.26 miles) on the stationary bike. After the cardio, I did some weights for major muscle groups. 3 sets for each group. I failed on the back muscles on the 3rd set. I had to cheat on the 2nd to last rep because my triceps and back were already sore. 1 set for isolated muscle groups. I think by the end of next week, I should be able to increase the weights for isolated muscles by 10 pounds as well.

Cardio Monday

Came in to work and had to do some work early in the morning so my workout was cut short to just cardio today. I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical machine at a pretty high pace according to my standards and then did 20 minutes (4.53 miles) on the stationary bike. Tomorrow, I plan to lift weights as long as nothing blows up in the morning.

Swimming again

I swam again today and my shoulder wasn't as sore as I expected. I could fully extend my arm over my head with a bit of discomfort only. Swam for about an hour and then negated all of that by eating at a buffet. :( Guess I'll have to work extra hard tomorrow.

Exercising on Saturday

I tried swimming today but after 30 minutes, it was apparent it was a bad idea. I had a hard time pulling my right arm over my head and ended up just walking back and forth in the pool instead. Went home and decided to walk around to make up for the lack of exercise today and took pictures of my neighborhood for my friend.

Dead Arm Friday

I played dodgeball today. Well wasn't really playing, but my right arm went dead after about 30 minutes. Couldn't make a fist with my right arm afterwards so swimming is probably out of the question tomorrow. Even had a cramp in my left calf so we'll see.

Thursday Tennis

I played tennis today during lunch. Didn't play for very long and didn't really work out much, so I went to the gym afterwards to run on the elliptical machine. Spent about 10 minutes and then shot some baskets. Tomorrow is dodgeball. Kind of dreading it because of the bruises I got last week, but we'll see.

Wednesda

I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical machine this morning. Didn't really do much of anything else. There was one stretch of about 6 minutes where I went at a higher pace, but then my legs started to feel dead and heavy so I slowed my pace down. Tomorrow I probably won't be going to the gym and playing tennis instead. We'll see since I'm still not sure yet.

Cardio Tuesday

Today I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Legs really felt the burn. After that, I spent 20 more minutes (4.30 miles) on a stationary bike which I haven't ridden in a while. Also, I lifted some weights. I did 2 sets for major muscles with 10 more pounds and for isolated muscles I stayed with my usual weight for 1 set. Overall, it was a good work out and started work kind of late because of it. Guess I will be doing a bit more cardio on Wednesday.

Monday Light Workout

Went on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes today. From this week on, all cardio will be increased by 5 minutes and all weights for major muscle groups will be increased by 10 lbs. I think as an overall goal, I would like to drop down to about 178 lbs.

Sore Sunday Swim

I swam today for about an hour even though my shoulder and arms were still sore from dodgeball. I don't think I'll be able to lift weights tomorrow now but should still be able to do some cardio.

Dodgeball Friday

Omg, my body is so sore. We played dodgeball for 2 hours straight and there was no real rest in between. As soon as you are out, you go to the other team to start playing. I can't really throw very hard so most of the people I got out were from catching their balls. Overall, today was a really good workout and I know I will be extremely sore when I wake up tomorrow. =(

Tennis Thursday

Today, instead of going to the gym, I decided to play tennis. I spent a good hour running balls down and the left knee wasn't very sore. I was wearing the knee brace just in case but felt surprisingly well running. I'll continue to do the weight training for my leg muscles since it's been helping so far. Tomorrow, I may play dodgeball, but we'll see. My right arm is a bit sore from swinging the racket so much.

Light Wednesday

Did another 15 minutes on the elliptical machine. More of an intense run on it this time, and then lifted weights again. I did one set for each major muscle group at 10 pounds heavier than what I normally do.

Tuesday Workout

I did 15 minutes on the elliptical machine on Tuesday. After that, I began to lift weights. It was increase day, so I did one set of what I normally do and then one set 10 pounds heavier. Body was quite sore afterwards.
