Day 31: Walking, running, strength, and more walking and running

So hungry!

After work, I headed to the school gym to get my GTL on!  Well, just the "G" part.  Get my "gymmin" on!

Here's the workout breakdown!

Treadmill times!
(pre-lifting)
Total time:  29:51 min
Minimum speed:  3.5 mph
Maximum speed:  8.5 mph
Total distance:  2.5 miles
Total calories:  275 kcal

I did this much before lifting.  I wanted to make sure that I warmed-up properly.  But not exert myself too much before lifting.  I ran 1:1 intervals of [ 1 lap walking : 1 lap running ].  During my running portions, I would begin my run at 5.5 (or 6.0) mph, and each ~30 sec I would increase the speed to 6.0, 6.7, 7.2, 7.5, 8.0, or 8.5.  The increase in speed varied on my mood.

Weight Training

  • Exercise:  Lat Pulldowns (wide cable)
    • Set 1:  10 reps x 50 lbs
    • Set 2:  8 reps x 60 lbs
    • Set 3:  6 reps x 75 lbs (so weak! T_T)
  • Exercise:  Seated rows (hi-lo cable)
    • Set 1:  10 reps x 40 lbs
    • Set 2:  8 reps x 50 lbs
    • Set 3:  6 reps x 60 lbs 
  • Exercise:  Dead Lifts (barbell)
    • Set 1:  10 reps x 45 lbs
    • Set 2:  10 reps x 55 lbs
    • Set 3:  10 reps x 65 lbs
  • Exercise:  One-Armed Rows (dumbbell)
    • Set 1:  10 reps x 17.5 lbs
    • Set 2:  10 reps x 20 lbs
  • Exercise:  Back Extensions on Roman Chair
    • Sets x reps x weight:  3 x 15 x BW (body weight)

A similar workout from Tuesday's workout.  The main difference is that I didn't do close-grip lat pulldowns.  I wanted to, but the machines I wanted to use were taken.  =(  Next time!

So back onto the treadmill again!

Treadmill times!
(post-lifting)
Total time:  50:00 min
Minimum speed:  3.5 mph
Maximum speed:  6.0 mph
Total distance:  3.51 miles
Total calories:   393 kcal


I know!  I was on that treadmill for a while.  But!  I was watching Cesar Milan rehabilitate dogs in Australia on The Dog Whisperer!  I really wanted to know what happened.  I love watching this show!  It's almost like Cesar Milan has a magic power to talk to dogs and understand them.  I want a magic power.  Although I don't know what it would be.  Maybe Jean Grey's power... maybe!

Day 30: Core Cardio and Balance Day 2

Late in the evening... I know!  BUT!  I'm getting it done.

Had to wait until my aunt was finished watching Clash of the Titans on the DVD player.  Not the greatest movie... yeah.

So, she's finished, and now it's time to work it out!



Workout done.

O_O

Notes:  Although it's a "recovery week" workout... a couple exercises kill me!

:: Moving plank push-up walks ~ these would be a little easier if I had space to move.  I can only take 3 tiny "steps" left and right before I have to change direction.
:: Hip flexor burners ~ I seriously haven't had a deep burn like that in a while.  Oh isometrics...!  I have to take a break in between each exercise to rest my hip flexor and stretch.  When I finish all three exercises, my hip flexor is burning!

:: Level 1 drills were a little easier today.  Don't know why.  They were.  Completed every single push-up, even if I did a couple knee push-ups, I did all repetitions!


p.s. Workouts are soooo tough when you're sore!  Two days ago, I did some strength training for my back, butt, and hamstrings.  Yup, felt it when I woke up this morning.  Felt it a bit last night.  Two days though... DOMS doms doms DOMS dooooooooms!  Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Tomorrow I should be better.  So I promise for sure to go running, walking, and more strength training!  Must get my back in decent shape before next week comes!
