Tuesday Exercise Bike + leg lifts (40 minutes)

30 minutes on the bike, 10 on the legs. Plus, about an hour of housework.

Monday Strength Workout (45 minutes)

All the usual stuff, plus 5 minutes of abs at the end.

Saturday Exercise Bike (30 minutes)

And some housework ;)

Friday Strength Workout 45 minutes

Also, yard sales today with a 2 yr old.

Thursday Swimming (35 minutes)

25 laps. Slow and sloppy swim tonight. I also did 2 1/2 hours of mowing, weeding, etc in my yard and my brother's. That accounts for the swim being a little off. It was good to swim after all that though.

Wednesday Strength Workout (45 minutes)

I'm so tired this week. I wish I had more energy :P

Tuesday Exercise Bike + leg lifts (40 minutes)

30 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes of front, side, and back leg lifts with a 10 lb weight on the leg.

Monday Strength Workout (45 minutes)

I managed to work in 5 minutes of ab work at the end too. I really need to work on my yard too, but I'm so tired I think I will have to take a nap with the littlest monster :P

Saturday Exercise Bike + Leg exercises (35 minutes)

30 minutes exercise bike, and 5 minutes front and side leg lifts with 10 lb weights on each leg. Get better knee so I can run again!

Friday Strength Workout 50-55 minutes

That was an epic strength workout at the YMCA. I just am not used to working out at a real gym, so I was like a kid a in a candy store. I wanted to try out all the machines! I used the Smith machine for squats, used a 90 lb bar for dead lifts, an 80 lb bar for hack squats, did australian pull ups (6 sets), and push ups (5 sets). I also used two different leg press machines, a chest press machine, and a hip abductor machine. It was lots of fun. I went there because for 2 weeks basic Y members can use the Fitness center for free.

Thursday Swimming 35 minutes

25 laps (more like 32-33 minutes).

Wednesday Strength Workout (45 minutes)

I remembered to add the 5 minutes of abs at the end. Feeling good knee wise today.

Tuesday Exercise Bike 25 minutes

My knees felt good, but they are still warm. I will see how they feel later.

Monday Strength Workout (40 minutes)

I forgot to add abs. Oops, maybe next time.

Saturday Swimming (30 minutes)

25 laps in 30 minutes. Woot! 20 laps freestyle and 5 laps back stroke. Plus, one hour of grocery shopping.

Friday Strength Workout (40 minutes)

My strength workout usually is shorter at home, so I added 5 minutes of ab work at the end (including 100 crunches). 

I also did 90 minutes of tree trimming yesterday which was so hard I was shaking afterwards.

Wed Strength Workout (45 minutes)

I took out squats because they seem to aggravate my knees.

Here's what I did today- 3 sets of pull ups with the pull up assist strap. 3 sets of australian pull ups hands over bar, but with feet elevated this time to add more resistance. 3 sets of australian pull ups hands UNDER bar, but with feet elevated this time to add more resistance. I mixed in 9 sets of 10 push ups into that (90 push ups total). I also did calf raises on a stair, alternated with chair dips (3 sets each). I then went upstairs and did deadlifts alternated with hip thrusts (3 sets of each). I hooked my leg up to the bow flex and did front, back & side leg raises with 50 lbs of resistance on the band (3 sets each, both legs). I'm hoping the hip thrusts and back leg raises will be enough glute work to make up for taking time off squats for now.

Tuesday Exercise Bike (20 minutes)

I stopped when the right knee started hurting again. Get better stupid knee!

Monday Strength Workout 45 minutes

And now my knee is pissed again. I'm going to replace the squats with other glute exercises and see if that helps.

Saturday Swimming (35 minutes)

25 laps.

Friday Strength Workout (40 minutes)

Plus, taking a 2 yr old to yard sales for several hours (in the heat!).

Thursday Swimming (35 minutes)

25 laps- 10 freestyle, 5 back stroke, 10 freestyle.

Wed Strength Workout (45 minutes)

Slow and sweet. Not as hard as Monday though.
