Recumbent Bike

    Metabolic Endurance

    2km  Recumbent Bike    (8 resistance)

  Still no difficulty from recumbent bike at all. 2km on the rower would've been pretty sweaty; on the bike, breath didn't even get faster.

  I REALLY wish that the gym had a heavy bag to punch, or a swimming pool. Either of those would give a great cardio-workout with really nice variety & interest available for each. Oh, well.  :/  With any luck, I'll be able to keep to the current schedule of getting the perfect garage gym in a year from now.  =D

Leg Press & Back Extensions

24 Jun 16    (GW)

    Weightlifting  (5 Rounds)

    10 Leg Press, Rack    (160lb)

    Gymnastic  (3 Rounds)

    10 Back Extension

  The Leg Presses worked well. Using a rack is much better than the machine. Knew that, but still holds.

  The Back Extensions were fair. The stand was not a GHD, so not ideal in shape. Lot of stretching & strain on the hamstrings, but that could well be just needing to work on the movement. I was going to do 5 rounds of extensions, but felt that it'd be too hard on the hamstrings.

  Good workout. Just right for still easing in; got some sweat going. Sumo Deadlifts worked well. Was able to keep the shins vertical to keep the knees safe.
