Let's get physical, physical!



One of the things going around the "healthy living" blogging community is posting a sweaty picture of yourself post-workout. Gotta be proud of the sweat and red, shiny faces! So here's mine. =)

Tonight's Workout:
- 20 minutes cardio on Arc Trainer
- 4 reps of 10 on leg press, set at 120 lbs.
- 10 curls at 35 lbs. on the bicep curl
- 20 minutes (1 mile) on the treadmill

The bicep curls were pitiful folks! I have no upper arm strength, and the only reason I had it set at 35 lbs. is because the pin wouldn't go all the way in to the 20 lbs. hole. Hehe. I managed (barely!) to make it through 10, although if I'm being honest, that last curl would probably only count as a half. Much different story on the leg press though! I have strong legs, and I set it a little lower than I could actually do so I wouldn't strain myself the first time using a leg press again. I loooooove the Arc Trainer. It's kind of like an elliptical, but smaller and more compact, and more mimics running. Shane (my trainer) had suggested I do most of my cardio on that since it's low-impact because of my foot. And he's right...after a while on the treadmill at the end, my foot was starting to swell and throb.

All in all, I kind of love getting all sweaty and feeling like I accomplished a lot, then coming home and treating myself to an icy shower. Ahhh....
