Gym Is Open (Monday)

I'm getting a cortisone shot in my still very sore knee today...I was trying to hold out for my synvisc shots, but, insurance will not let me have them until April 24...can't wait...so in the meantime, cortisone...very painful shot, but, I know it will help. I did, however, make it to the gym this morning: Weights SB Reverse Crunch 3 x 15 Stability Ball Weighted Oblique Crunch 3 x 10 each Stability Ball DB Chest Press 3 x 8 Stability Ball DB Pull Over 3 x 8 SB DB Fly 2 x 10 Lat Pull Down Wide Grip 2 x 10 Cable Biceps Curls 2 x 10 V Grip Cable Triceps Extension 2 x 10 For cardio, I did 20 minutes on the recumbant bike and walked (or should I say "limped") around the track a couple of times. What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/245/168

I love my accountability! Thanks for posting this thread! Kathy

Good for you Kathy...yes, this accountability thing really helps! Looks like you are on track. Maybe the pounds aren't moving like you want, but, you are certainly doing the right things for your body and long term health. Try and celebrate that! (I know, easier said than done.)

Hey there ~ I totally slacked off last week, but I'm back now! Did 20 minutes on the precor stair stepper and worked out with the trainer. It was a good workout! Angie Seely

Angie, I had to take most of last week off due to a very sore knee...I really missed the gym, did you? So glad to see you are back on track! I am too! Lori
