My workout tonight was fun! The TurboBoxing class was going on while I was running, and the instructor was EXTREMELY perky and fun and upbeat, which made me want to work harder and keep running. And there were like 40 women in the class! It was intense! Some of them were really putting a lot of energy into their moves, which is fun to watch. It's like a very repetitive dance recital.
My workout:
5 minute bike warmup
2 mile run @ 6.5 mph (about 9:15 minute mile)
Squats: 155x12; 165x10; 175x8; 185x7 (I can do more than this! I love that I keep going up!)
Chest Press: 50x20; 60x16; 70x12 (Increased 60 & 70 lb reps)
Pullups (weight assist): 60lb assist x6; 80lb assist x10 (I decided I should do real sets of these)
Hamstrings: 90x12; 100x10; 110x8 (Fuck injuries this year, I'm staying healthy)
Adductors: 40x12; 55x10; 70x8 (just found this machine)
Abductors: 50x12; 60x10; 70x8 (just found this machine too)
The bike warmup was fun, it was a Nautilus machine that had a video display that made it more like a game. Except it wasn't as awesome as the game at the MIT Z Center where you biked faster to push the balloon over the mountains, and at the same time you have to shoot targets with hand-operated controls. That game was AWESOME and made me forget I was working out. I think that was somebody's thesis project actually and all us awesome game-loving exercise bikers got to be the test subjects.
My 2 mile run was wicked slow. I decided I wanted to go farther today. I felt almost no cardio workout -- I was definitely sweating, but I was hardly even breathing heavy at the end. My legs were a little tired, that's all. But I think it was useful -- it most definitely made my squats harder. And if my legs can't last 20 minutes of jogging, I know I won't be able to last a full tournament. So eff you, legs, I'm gonna make you go more, longer, because I can, because I control you and I can tell you to suck it up and stop being lame.

Lori, I have been setting up google groups for all of the classed that I teach. check out the one for weight training at http://groups.google.com/group/smcweightlifting
It's all ripped from the web, but it allows me to make sure that my students are getting good info and not using crap websites. The best thing is it only took 15 min. to put together, and my class is really getting into it. They have designed their own work-out, had to teach me a new lift as if I know nothing, and it allows them to learn the muscles etc.

awesome, thanks Kerri!
Lor, I just wrote a long response and lost it cause I wasn't a registered user.Bummer! but now I am so here goes,but not as long, I'm back into my waistloss program pretty hardcore again,since mid Feb. down to 263,with another 50# to go.I'm with a personal trainer three days aweek and doing cardio on my own the other three days, trying to work a lot of interval type stuff into it to burn more fat. two or three days I add a spinning class in the am. that'll be over this month, but I may try biking to work for awhile. I'm feeling better than I have for over a year, cutting back on my arthritis meds, and also less food and alcohol intake,which is really boring. the alcohol doesn't even taste that good anymore and THAT is REALLY boring! no more lower back pain! arms and shoulders and hands are getting stronger again.Hopefully I'll be able to run again by summer. Have fun! DADDO
oh yeah, I ordered a cool T shirt for you today,it fits perfect(the phrase anyways, is a medium the right size? DADDO
Dad, that is awesome! Congrats on the comeback! I'm really glad to hear you're making such awesome progress! Keep it up!
P.S. I'm most definitely a size M.
