3k Run - July 27th, 2008

Yes, today is the sheduled 7-9k run but my girlfriend (and is it ever getting tiresome refering to her that way - must come up with a better plan) fears she's developing shin spinlts again so we took it easy this time. If her pain continues, I'll be on my own for the Wednesday & Friday morning runs.

Gym workout - July 22nd, 2008

We got a late start this morning (no doubt to due to someones unbearable cuteness keeping us up last night) so it was another short workout:

5 minutes on a rowing machine
a Keiser circuit (10 reps for each station):

  • military press (30kg / 60lb)
  • lower back (70kg / 150lb)
  • leg extension (45kg / 100lb)
  • seated butterfly (20kg / 40lb)
  • leg curl (70kg / 150lb)
  • biaxial chest press (45kg / 100lb)
  • lat pull down (45kg / 100lb)
  • leg press (180kg / 400lb)
  • upper back (45kg / 100lb)
  • upper back (45kg / 100lb)
  • abdominal (70kg / 150lb)
10 crunches
Then I did that whole thing again, but this time it was 5 minutes on a recumbent bike rather than rowing.

Gym workout - July 17th, 2008

This morning was a shorter than usual workout because of a special after-work adventure today. More on that later.

The gym we go to, the Y downtown, has a circuit of Keiser equipment which I really like. They use air-resistance with simple buttons to add or remove "weight". So, my routine at the gym is 5 minutes of cardio (bike, rowing machine, treadmill, etc), a circuit of the Keisers and then 10 crunches. All this is repeated, usually, 3 times making a workout that lasts anywhere from 45-60 minutes. But, as I mentioned, today was an abbreviated workout.

So, today was:

5 minutes on a recumbent bike
a Keiser circuit (10 reps for each station):
  • military press (30kg / 60lb)
  • lower back (70kg / 150lb)
  • leg extension (45kg / 100lb)
  • seated butterfly (20kg / 40lb)
  • leg curl (70kg / 150lb)
  • biaxial chest press (45kg / 100lb)
  • lat pull down (45kg / 100lb)
  • leg press (180kg / 400lb)
  • upper back (45kg / 100lb)
  • upper back (45kg / 100lb)
  • abdominal (70kg / 150lb)

10 crunches

Then I did that whole thing again, but this time it was 5 minutes on a rowing machine rather than a bike.
