Thursday, July 07, 2005

I am not going to be doing any cardio at the gym so long as I am waitressing. My knee is swollen and sore from the activities involved with serving. I don't want to push it, so I'll just consider waitressing my cardio. Because it is.

Weighed myself today. 151 lbs, this means I have lost about 5 pounds. Probably water weight from not being able to eat very much because of my shifts at work.

Back

Lat pull downs: 3 x 10 @ 70 lbs
High rows (cable): 3 x 10 @ 60 lbs

Legs... this was the first time I've attempted these in a while since I last re-injured my knee. My goal is to held build up the muscles surrounding my knee in hopes of some pain relief. I am going to use light weights to do this.

Leg press (lever): 3 x 12 @ 90 lbs
Lunges: 3 x 10/leg @ 20 lbs
Deadlifts: 3 x 10 @ 20 lbs
Squats: 3 x 10 @ 20 lbs
Leg extensions: 3 x 10 @ 15 lbs

ABS
Hanging knee raises: 4 x 15
V-tucks: 3 x 15
Leg lifts off decline: 3 x 10
Weighted crunches in roman chair: 3 x 10 @ 50 lbs

Cardio: waitressing tonight for 3-4 hours.

Tuesday, July 05, 2005

Hmm, I'm lacking with the fitness blog.

Uhmm.. this is stolen from Gill's blog. We worked out together.

"-"sketchy bench press"-3x12@ 30lbs
-"hugging the tree press" 3x12@ 20lbs
-ab crunches
-bicycles
-pushups on the ball ? heh heh"

My knee is very irriated and sore from all of this waitressing that I've been doing. I count serving as cardio, it's really an overall workout. All I do is hustle around and haul heavy objects.

I haven't been working out again because of my knee. I re-injured it last Thursday (June 2nd), and it is only now beginning to feel better again.

Last night:
Swam 200m, back crawl and just random swimming
Treaded water for 5 minutes
45 minute core strength class in the pool

My knee didn't hurt at all in the pool so maybe swimming is an option I should be considering. The core strength class was different. I would say it was a low to moderate intensity work out. I spent most of my time wrestling noodles. I'd go to it again though.

1 hour pilates class.

Not sure what I think. It was fun, but not much of a workout I didn't think. Of course it was the first day of an intro class, so I shouldn't judge it soley be the first day. But I already knew how to do everything, so it was kind of boring. Didn't do anything I haven't done before.

Now I'm going out to the cottage, probably going to go for a long walk.

Improve my flexibility
Make an honest effort to improve core strength
Try a new exercise at the gym (hack squats? dumbell chest press flyes?)
Do 40-60 mins of cardio at least 5 times a week
Attempt a yoga class

These next few weeks will be challenging. Travelling back and forth to and from Summerside (45 minutes each way) for my internship placement will leave little time to workout. I'll be exhausted from working all day, and will no doubt be working in the early morning hours. I am still contemplating signing up for some classes at Pilates Dynamic Fitness. I don't really have the money to do it, but their class times are much more feasible and I think the classes would help me relax since they are focussed on breathing, fluidity of movement, etc. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow to find out more information. I know they have a student rate, but I still have to pay for gas to S'side and back 5 times a week. Eep. That, and I'll only be working like 1-2 shifts a week at the pool. Oh dear. This math does not add up in my favor!

More on this later. Sleep time.

Okay. I dropped into the pilates place this morning and put my name down for a Friday evening class that will be starting soon. I'm going to start with an Intro mat class. It will probably be insanely easy, but I need to learn correct pilates technique before I can move to a different level. They had beautiful equipment there, body bars, reformers, nice free weights. Small place, but nice. So yeah, I guess I'll start from there and see how it goes.
