Monday Workouts
Jumping in here for the first time--I'm a novice at this so excuse my lingo if its not correct!
I did "circuits" with my PT. He incorporated running on the treadmill with the weightlifting. I did this for an hour. It felt great and I was really energized when I left. I liked it better than just lifting with cardio at the end of our session. It felt like my heart was beating faster througout the entire workout and I was working up a sweat faster. I also didn't dread running on the treadmill like I typically do at the end of our session. (I'm always afraid I'm going to fall off! LOL)

warmed up rowing for 10 minutes (2164m)
bench, dead lift, assisted chin up - 6 sets of 5
knee lifts in the roman chair - 4 sets of 10
ran on the treadmill 1.12 miles
I did my mile in 9:58!! I started on 6.0 for about five minutes, then did 6.3 for three and a half minutes and then on 6.5 for about a minute and a half before my 2 minute cool down. I guess I didn't think I could run that fast, so I never tried before, but I felt great afterwards!
