Good hard workout this morning, exercisers.

I hit the elliptical first.
Stats: 277 cal, 2.66 mi, 30:00 min, random program, level 4

Then I jumped into upper body training. I started in the circuit training room and did 2 sets of 12 reps at maximum or nearly maximum weight for each machine. I moved on to the machines out in the main area and started on them. Most of them mimic the machines in the circuit training and are only slightly different....maybe giving a wider range of motion or changing the body's resting angle, for example. I used each one that was even the slightest bit different than the circuit training room machines.

It was tough. My muscles were already tired when I got to them so all I could push out was a set of 12 and a set of 10. For almost all the machines, that took me to muscle failure. My form was suffering so I didn't push it past that. Better safe than sorry!

I also spent more time on my abs today. I hit up 2 ab machines and then before I stretched, I hit the mat and did V sit ups with a 10 lb round weight. I worked my obliques that way too. I stretched longer than usual too. I really wanted to smooth out my knotted arm and shoulder muscles. All in all, it was about a hour and 30 minutes I think. Hard to know for sure. That damn clock.....
