Gym Is Open (Thursday)

OK, I'm starting to feel like a loser. I want to keep posting my "gym is open" but haven't been able to go to the gym myself for 3 whole days because my knee is hurting too much. I am making a dr appt today. If you start to see me fall off from posting, get after me! I can't lose my enthusiasm for exercise. It took too long to get it going! What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/245/168

Let's see.... I did 20 minutes on the bicycle at the gym to the tune of 5 miles even. Was thinking to myself ... wow that's 15 mph. Then I did all my leg stuff... Leg extension, 50 lbs, 1 x 12, 1 x 9 Seated leg curl, 50 lbs, 2 x 12 Hip abduction, 100 lbs, 4 x 12 Hip adduction, 100 lbs, 4 x 12 Prone leg curl, 50 lbs, 1 x 12, 1 x 10 Didn't do calves... someone had too heavy a weight for me to get off the machine and didn't have time to find a strapping man to remove 'em. Next series with strap around ankle (12.5 lbs on cable pull) 2 x 12 in all 4 directions on each leg Stability ball Pelvic tilts (side to side), 200 (100 each side) Pelvic tilts (front to back), 200 (100 each direction) Pelvic tilt circles, 50 (25 each direction) Seated leg raises, 200 (100 each leg) Wall squats, 25 (held for a count of 5) Wall squats, 1 (held for a count of 25) This evening... took Lady for a walk to the park. Unfortunately, she is feeling her age and not up to much of a walk but we did go into the park and see the Civil War grave markers (MG Kearny and MG Stevens). I live spitting distance from Ox Hill. http://www.washtimes.com/civilwar/20030801-093841-2919r.htm

I must be having sympathy pains, because my knee is bugging me, too. Probably not as bad as yours, but bad enough I didn't want to risk making it worse so I called off the bike ride today... Livvie and I did walk up and down the block about 4 times, at toddler speed. She wanted a popscicle and I wanted to wear her out a little before bed time...

Becky, Listen to your knee! Take it easy. Mine is feeling a bit better. Lori
