Blog Three - Day 4 Mixing It Up

Okay, I got a little bolder today.

First I started my routine with a difficult rated warm up on the bicycle. Wasn't too difficult (I could have increased it further during) but it got my sweat started. After 7 minutes the warm up was complete. Then I proceeded to do 4 sets of 10 crunches (on a machine), then I spent a fair bit of time on a back lifting machine. (You sit on it and rotate your back up and backwards lifting the weight.) I decided that 15 repetitions would be good and I started it at 70 lbs. Each set I increased the weight 30 lbs until I reached 190 lbs and then I reversed the cycle. From there I went to two legs machines, spread and close, for about 40 repetitions each. Closed out with the bicycle again on moderate warm up to finish out and start winding myself down.

I feel good, very good, and I find myself delighted at this new aspect of my life and thoroughly annoyed that I have not been doing this all these years. I'm starting to remember how much I liked working out way back when.

PS: I'm probably going to be heading to the gym for another 15 minute set on the bicycle later this afternoon. My ass still hurts though!
