How to occupy oneself
Day 4 in a row at the gym this week, last week I had a break on Wednesday but who knows what tomorrow will bring when I'm home and the boy needs to go down for a nap in the middle of the day. I have free weights so that might work out, but I also have a ton of things to do around the house. Sweating is sweating right?The problem with the stationary bikes is that they are right in front of the TV's i don't want to watch TV but i have no choice. So todays as always we had a judge show, Mad TV, sports, politics, soap opera ect. Its pretty enjoyable to time lyrics in the songs on my ipod to the inane dialog on the tv. Rammstien makes the soap opera's awesome. Its like Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and Oz some days. An Argument on a Soap opera and heavy German music FTW
Today 10 Minute walk o're the Gym.
30 Minutes on Exercise Bike Hill Course Difficulty 10. I think the machine said I did either 10.58 Miles or km, that part was broken. I averaged 98 rpm so I think it meant to say miles but i have been wrong before. At least this machine was speaking english unlike two days ago.
3 sets of 15 crunches
3 sets of 12 back extensions.
slow stretching. Legs a little sore from yesterday's leg workout but nothing major, just ached around 10 minutes into the ride.
I really do prefer riding my bike to riding a stationary replacement, better AC on the road model. You stew in your own air on the stationary bike. Overall I'd say it was a good week, still standing, only a bit stiff the next day no pain this time in any of the problem areas. Surgically repaired knees, fine. un repaired torn rotator cuff, doing dandy. No shin splints from the treadmill. And plantar faciatis is actually getting better!
