Tuesdays workouts
Hi Jenny,
You're no weenie. My upper body is pretty weak, so I'm trying to strengthen it to become a better swimmer.
I'm in the "adaptive phase" of Joe Friel's strength training program for triathletes. I do 3 sets of 20 in this phase.
leg press - 110 lbs
standing lat pull-down -20 (hard for me)
step-ups - bar only (don't know the weight)
seated row - 30
hamstring curl - 35
I can eek out 6 push-ups.
I can't do leg extensions because of a knee injury.
I stretch between each set, as recommeded by Friel. I'm hopeful that this routine will protect me from future injuries.

"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer."
I'm finding that swimming and weight training really compliment each other! I started lap swimming about 2 1/2 weeks ago on my off days from the gym because I want to lose 30-40 more pounds and have been stuck for months. Yesterday when I was doing the butterfly press (my least favorite machine), I found it was much easier now than it was before I started swimming.
Thanks for your reply...keep up the good work!

Half hour on eliptical for a bit over a 300 calorie burn. Then 7 miles on bike with rolling hills for about 40 minutes for total of about 600 calorie burn (more than half my daily intake). Was a bit sore from lower body weights the other day and a run.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I went to track. It sprinkled a bit, but not too bad. Got in 3.25 miles and ran all but .25 of it! But still only doing .5 mile at a time.
