Pany finally went to the gym!!!!
Hello everybody!
I finally got my butt in gear and went to the gym!!! I will update everyday with my excercise, however much or little I do!!! Thursday 22nd September 20 minute walk from train station to work. 60 minute walk along the river at lunch time AT THE GYM 5 minutes on the X-Trainer (I need to build this to 20 mins) 3 sets of 10 Leg Press 3 sets of 10 Leg Extensions 3 sets of 10 Chest Press 3 sets of 10 Chest Pull? 3 sets of 10 Some other chest machine? 3 sets of 10 Rope Pull 3 set of 15 ab crunches 8 minutes run (I tried for 10 but I had lots of pain in my sides so had to stop at 8 mins) Stretching 20 minute walk home (why get the bus when I can walk and get more excercise!) So about 90 minutes in the gym and 100 minutes walking. And that's my 1st ever gym log!! |
Nice Job Pany!!!:) And welcome to the world of Gym Logging! You are going to feel sooooo goooood about yourself doing these workouts and walks. And the results are going to give you the confidence that you have never known!:)

ALRIGHT PANY!!!! I'm so glad to see this. What a wonderful birthday present for me! :)

Thanks alot Debbie!!
I half changed my mind a few times. My journey to the gym from work usually takes 45 minutes. This time it took 1 hour 50 minutes!! And I had to change buses at the bus stop 200 feet from my house!! I was so tempted to just go home! But I thought to myself "No, Debbie would be disappointed in me". So I went to the gym!! Thanks alot Debbie, you are a true inspiration! |
Just checking to see how it went today. I'll check back later. I want details. :)

Monday 26th September
25 minute walk from train station to work. 60 minute walk along the river at lunch time AT THE GYM 5 minutes on the X-Trainer (I need to build this to 20 mins) 3 sets of 10 Leg Press 3 sets of 10 Leg Extensions 3 sets of 10 Chest Press 3 sets of 10 Shoulder Press 3 sets of 10 cant remember the name. Annoyed now! basically sitting down and start with weights high and then you pull them down? 3 sets of 10 Rope Pull 3 set of 15 ab crunches 12 minutes run (I walked half of it, had bad pains in my side) Stretching 25 minute walk home (why get the bus when I can walk and get more excercise!) So about 60 minutes in the gym and 110 minutes walking. I'm a little concerned how quickly I got out of there. Maybe I went too fast? Too quick between sets, using machines too fast? I'm not sure really. |

Usually 40-60 seconds between sets is about right if you're not going too heavy. You got plenty of cardio in. I see you're still doing it BEFORE weights. You know my feelings about that, so I won't say anymore about it. ;) Except for this, if you're doing it for a warm up.....all the walking you do before you ever get to the gym is PLENTY of "warm-up." Now I won't say anymore about it. Unless I think of something else I feel is necessary :lol:. Lookin' good Pany. :) http://www.shapefit.com/training.html incase you can't remember the names of something else, this is a good site. :) |

One thing that bothers me is the shoulder press. I have to stop after about 6 reps. Then after reducing the weight to practically nothing, I was still unable to complete a set without stopping. I'm fine with the pulldowns but the shoulder press (which is a similar movement) is hard with even just a 3rd of the weight. Are my shoulders that weak?

Are you using a machine for shoulder presses? I think you are. Is it painful in your shoulder? Or are you just saying you give out....you're weak there? After a couple of weeks, I hope you get started on free weights. And a different routine. You are working arms in a secondary manner, so not a good work-out for them. And next time, do your shoulder exercise after your back. Always biggest to littlest muscles. Shoulders and arms come in last. :) |
