Thursday, 6/8: I worked out today--did you?
:hi: Good morning folks!

Today, I did an upper body (arms, chest, upper back etc) workout and then did 15 minutes on the StairMaster and 20 minutes on the rowing machine.


What did your workout look like today?

3. Update on my legs question of May 14 (I think)
I've been doing heavy (as heavy as I can get and still do complete sets of 5 - 8 reps) on machines for leg curl, extension, press, and calf raise. I do these on alternate days. Last weekend I did a 20 mile bicycle ride, avg 13.5 mph. In Jan I was doing 12 mile max at about 10 mph. The leg work is helping - thanks.

BTW - the increased cycling has improved my resting pulse rate as well - low to mid 50's every morning for the last week.

2. Yes, I did.
Upper body with machines and free weights. Later today I'll be following a mower around my daughter's yard - I can get at least one hour of walking before I attach the sulky.
