working out

Monday, I didn't feel like doing a full workout. I wasn't feeling all that great. But instead of just sitting at my desk, I decided to go for a walk outside in the beautiful weather we're having right now. That's a pretty big change for me. Not all that long ago, I would have just sat at my desk over lunch and read.

Tuesday, I still wasn't extremely motivated but I made myself go to the fitness center. I promised myself I didn't have to really push it. So I did a rolling hills workout on the stationary bike. 30 minutes at L2-L5. I tried to keep my RPM up to about 70-75.
Afterwards I decided I needed to do some strength training since it's been about a week when I worked out with weights.

Lat pulldown: 90 lbs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Seated row: 90 lbs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Shoulder press: 90 lbs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Leg press: 110 lbs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Chest press: 90 lbs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Ball squats : 10 reps - these are killing my knees so I thought I'd better stop
Chest flies on the ball: 6 lbs weights - 12 reps / 1 set
Straight arm : 6 lbs weights - 12 reps / 1 set

I did some core workouts too.
Reverse crunches ; feet on ball ; 12 reps / 2 sets
Ab crunches : 25 reps / 2 sets
In and outs : 12 reps / 2 sets
Plank : 20-25 secs. / 2 sets

Stretches

Not too bad for not wanting to push myself. 8-)
