Got to the gym about 1:30 and left about 2:35. Weight following workout was 237.4 (down .6 from yesterday). Worked pretty hard; 11 minute elliptical, three sets with 12 reps each set on all upper body parts including abs and lower back (which BTW, still aches like a bitch). My knee is OK, hurts more after than during. I'll be seeing my orthopod in about a week or so and planning some new strategy; maybe injections, not sure.
My pulse was mid 80's at cardio start and 138 at finish. I think I'm going to start to monitor 'recovery time' from finishing bpm to 100bpm> .... I bet it will take 2-3minutes (I hope). I did notice that going directly to resistance work following my cardio warmup, my bpm remains pretty high .... perhaps I should monitor that once in a while....comments? My thinking is that the resistance portion of my workout should be done at a pace that serves that purpose....ya think?
I ate yogurt and bananas for breakfast, a piece of fruit and a cold zero cal drink after workout and expect to eat what ever Mom makes for din din and nothing but fruit after that. There are some cookies left ........ This will be my first test! BTW, is anyone feeding my fish?
Not sure what you mean by monitoring your heart rate during resistance workouts. What you are saying is that since you heart rate is at a high level entering the resistance segment of you workout, you should wait till it comes down??? I don't think that is as important as lowering reps and increasing sets. BTW...what's 'feeding the fish' mean?
ReplyDeleteAt top of my blog are my 'pet fish' (trust you can see them swimming...RIGHT?) Well, in order to 'feed them', just put your cursor in the 'pond' and 'tap'.... then move it away and you'll see them attack the food your tapping will leave...ya falla?
ReplyDeleteI see....I fed them
