2/27/12: resistance training - 40 minutes; 20 cool down on the arc trainer (light cardio).

Let's see if I can list what resistance I did.

1. cable machine - stood with my back to it and to the side and pushed the cable out front and to the center - 3 sets of 15 each arm

2. same machine - stood facing it and pulled the cable back toward my shoulder - 3 sets of 15 each arm

3. same machine - stood facing it, both hands gripping rope, arms out in front, squatted and leaned forward until weights nearly touched, then stood up, lifting the weights. 3 sets, 15 reps

4. step ups (smaller step), hands at shoulder, palms forward, step-up right-left, push up arms toward sky with weights, step down and lower arms 3 sets, 10 each

5. step ups (smaller step), hands at ????, step-up, left-right, ????, step down. 3 sets, 10 each

6. side step ups (smaller step): one foot fully on the step, squat and side-step onto the step. 3 sets, 10 each.

7. ball throw: 10# ball, holding ball in hands at shoulder height, squat, push up with legs and throw ball high into the air. 2 sets of 20

8. cool down: 20 minutes light cardio on the arc trainer.

3/3: 30 minutes treadmill, hill interval - 9% at 3mph. After 15 minutes I bumped the incline down to 7% because I was using only the outside of my right foot and gripping the machine to avoid using the full right foot. 9% was just too much for the rear of the arch of that foot - I hurt it last Oct/Nov in a pair of new shoes with different arch support.

25 minutes recumbent bike - interval, rest: 1 minutes level 5, followed by 30 seconds level 10. By the end, my right foot was nearly numb.

This is not boding well for cardio ...

3/9: strength training today

Warm up: treadmill 2.4mph 13 minutes

*step-ups with bicep curls, leading with right foot - 2 x 20 - 8#
*step-ups with bicep curl-hammers, leading with left foot - 2 x 20 - 8#
*DB rows (used kettle ball today) - 2 x 20
*Wall press with bosu ball - 2 x 20
*DB alternating overhead pres - 2 x 24 - 8#
*Squats wide stance - 1 x 20
*Mountain climbers - 2 x 20
*Ball slams - 2 x 15
*Ball throws - 2 x 15
*Jumping jacks - 2 x 20

Moderate cardio: treadmill (M gave me a choice!) - 2.6mph, 46 minutes plus 2.5min cool down.

I was surprised M had me do only 2 sets today. I guess because we did the full # of reps he lowered the # of sets. I knocked it out very quickly - minimal rests between. Did it as a circuit today.

3/12: strength day

6 minutes warm up on treadmill
25 minutes using TRX Suspension Training - 3x20
-chest press
-row
-squats
-overhead drops (don't know what they are really called, you stand holding onto the straps, arms out in front and lower your body so your arms are overhead and then push yourself back so your arms are in front again)
-might have been one more thing - I'm not sure
36 minutes treadmill - M set it at 5% at 2.5mph - my arch started hurting so I bumped it down, ultimately I ended up with:
-20 minutes at 5% at 2.3-2.5mph
-16 minutes at 2-4.5% at 2.2-2.3mph
