Monday: jogged from work to the grocery store, carried a heck of a lot of groceries home. :) I can carry so much more stuff now!

Yesterday (Tuesday): busy day; didn't get a formal WO in, but...

- walked to the armoury (about 15 min)
- there was an inclined weight bench at the armoury, and I did about 40 incline sit-ups, some of them oblique-style.
- did an hours worth of drill. ;)

Wow, haven't been keeping up on my gym log. :nono: I've been fighting a touch of a cold this week, so I pretty much canned my resistance training. I've just done a fair bit of walking. Walked home from the doc's office on Friday, and also walked to the armoury. Saturday, walked to the farmers market and then to do groceries. Today, hangover day. :D I forced myself to go for a walk, but it was only a 30 min one. Oh well. ;) Better than staying in bed all day and wasting a beautiful day! I wish I had a balcony. :(

Kristine Mon, Apr-28-03 09:46

delt raises (side:) 3 sets of 10
bicep curls: 3 sets of 12-ish
rear delt raises: 3 sets of 10
wrist curls: 3 sets of 10
oblique raises: 3 sets of 12 or so
lunges: 3 sets of 8-10

Some light cardio today, too: dancing, walking to the bingo hall

Kristine Sat, May-03-03 06:39

Today's WO:

side lat raises: 3 sets
tricep extensions: 3 sets

Going easy on my arms, 'cause I have to dye my hair and that's an endurance workout for them. ;)

ab sucker-inners: 3
oblique raises: 3 sets
squats: 3 sets
calf raises: 3 sets

skipping reverse calf raises, 'cause I have mild shin splints from this crazy pair of platforms I had on last night. :D

Kristine Sat, May-10-03 15:48

In addition to all the walking this week, I had two "official" workouts:

Tuesday: ran 4 laps, did crunches, lunges and other resistance training that required no equipment. ;)

Thursday: same, except I was able to do 6 laps

Kristine Thu, Jun-26-03 10:18

After two months away, I'm jumping right back into my WO routine. :thup:

Today: upper body

Warm-up: carrying 2 six-packs of beer home from the store :D

side lat raises: 3 sets of 10
bicep curls: 3 sets of 12
oblique raises: 3 sets of 11 on each side
ab sucker-inners: 3 x 30 seconds
good ol' fashioned ab curl ups: 3 sets of 11

Kristine Fri, Jun-27-03 09:57

Did 20 minutes of light cardio, but it was tricky: I pulled a muscle in my back and it hurt if I shifted my weight back and forth between feet. If I kept my weight on both feet, I was fine. So it was a lot of knee-bending and arm movements.

Kristine Tue, Jul-22-03 09:57

Okay, gotta get back to exercising. :rolleyes:

Yesterday was a walk back from the store with all my groceries on my back. ;)

(This is why I don't bother joining a gym. When you don't have a car, the world is your gym!)

Seto Kaiba Tue, Jul-22-03 10:45

Hey, Kristine!!! Glad to see you're back!

:wave:

Kristine Thu, Jul-24-03 08:35

Seto! Nice to see you! I popped by your journal.

I finally got around to a semi-real workout. :rolleyes:

- lunges
- calf raises
- reverse calf raises

Time to hit the shower. My legs feel like jello. :daze:

Kristine Fri, Jul-25-03 11:56

Wow, my butt hurts! :D I tried to make that a light workout yesterday, but I'm a little sore. I'll have to take my glutamine faster next time.

today:
carried over 20 cases of empty beer bottles down the stairs and across the building at work, to the beer store, then carried my groceries home on my back. :) I'll do an upper body workout tomorrow if I'm not sore.
