Workout = Leg Day 10/21/2009

Posted Oct 22 2009 10:04pm

Today was another day of my two workouts being:

  1. Cardio Session
  2. Strength Training = Leg/Back Day

Both of these workouts went pretty well and nothing out of the ordinary happened. It was a pretty productive day with that and so far with my eating too.

So for my Cardio I did:

  • Elliptical@ 65 minutes, 3.47 miles, Average speed 3.21mph, I did the maximum level @ 25 with various inclines.
  • Treadmill@15 minutes, .77 mile, Incline of 5-13%, various speeds. (No running was done)

From there I took a 15 minute break and had a banana to provide some nutrition and energy for my strength training workout. Leg day is one of my favorite days because it’s where I do my heaviest lifting and that just gives me an awesome feeling.

For this part of training we did:

  • Leg Presses with each set with varied feet positions to work a variety of areas, including the hamstrings. We did a total of  9 sets with weights ranging from 225-495 lbs.
  • Seated leg Curls: 3 sets, Weights 90-110 lbs
  • Leg Extension: 5 sets,  Weights 90-120 lbs.
  • Kneeling Leg Curls: 3 sets, 125 lbs.
  • Stiff Leg Dead Lift: 3 sets, 30 lbs. dumbbells
  • Abdominal workout

That wrapped it up for that workout and for the day at the gym. Now I’ll just be chilling out a bit and enjoying the last 2 days of my vacation.

So far the knee is still holding up and at the same time I am getting more frustrated. With it feeling better I just want to start running again and doing the things I did before the knee issue occurred again. I’ll just have to stay a bit patient until I meet up with my doctor again. Hopefully the knee will still be holding up then and he’ll give me th Ok to start running again.

Off I go now. I’ll be catching you all later..

Till then stay healthy and stay active…
