Aug. 1st, 2008 02:52 pmWowsa - do I ever love this gorgeous training routine. Background: I used to lift weights in high school and college, made infinitely more difficult in those days as I was still anorexic. Now, I'm older, fatter and have the complications of Diabetes and a busted knee.
Every day I begin my workout by biking 5 miles at Resistance 4 to warm up, Mondays and Fridays I continue upstairs in the weight room. Tuesday - Thursday I do additional cardio on the stepmaster and at least another 5 miles on the bike. Monday, given I've not worked out all weekend, I add another 5 miles on the bike to cool down after the weights.
That said, let's look at the stats:
Last Week/ Today
Bench Press - 115/ 170
Calf Press - 25 (Jello legs)/ 320
Lower Back - 160/ 200
Leg Press - 250/
For a week's progress, that's incredibly good. And, mind you, lost two inches at my waist without really changing my diet. Best yet, the other weight lifters are starting to talk to me! I had a small audience when I was on the Leg Press machine, as the minute you throw more than 200 on either side of the bar, the guys get curious about you.
