Default Nanci's gym log

I bought a Cross Bow gym for my husbands birthday on June 13th, 2003. I started using it 3 times a week at first. I would follow the exercise plan that came with it for women. For the last 2 weeks, I have been using it every day. I think it is time that I keep a gym log now that it looks like I can do it. I can do this every day. I feel so much better and am already seeing improvement in my body.

today my workout:

5 minutes aerobic rowing w/ 80# weights
bent over row 2 set of 12 reps- 30 lbs
lower back extension, 2 set of 12 reps- 120#
shoulder extension- 2 set of 15 reps- 40#
upright row with bar- 2 set of 12 reps- 30#
squat- 2 set of 12 reps-50#
oblique crunch-3 set of 20 reps - 50#
leg extension- 2 set of 12 reps- 80#

This takes me about 30 minutes to do. I am also swimming everyday. I tread water for 20 minutes. I wish I had started this earlier. It makes me feel good.

Anyone that reads this and has any advice for me, please lay it on me.

Nanci

I am going to resurect this old gym log cause I am back on track as of yesterday with my walking. Last night walked for 10 minutes at 3mph 0 incline and this morning walked for 20 minutes at 3mph 0 incline. It felt really good to be doing something good for my heart.
