Workout 11/01/2007

I worked out today, running about 10 minutes late. Today was lower body day:

• Warmup on recumbent bike, 7 minutes
• Calves, 240/240/240
• Quads, 110/110/110
• Leg Presses (hamstrings/glutes/quads) at 240/240/240
• Hamstrings, 115/115/115
• Hip Abductors, 145/145/145
• Hip Adductors, 175/175/175
• Cable Crunches (I do this standing up), 140/140/140
• Floor Bridges, 3 sets of 10
• Cable Wood Chops, 100/100/100
• Recumbent Bike, 17 minutes plus 2 minutes cooldown

The bike at the end is feeling really long now, I'm kind of dreading going to 19 minutes plus cooldown next week. Part of me wants to do another week at 17 minutes. I'll have to see, I definitely feel angry about wanting to chicken out, but I also don't want to push myself to the point I give up. I think I'll increase and deal with it, currently my ultimate goal is to go to 21 minutes, plus cooldown, which is only 4 more minutes than I am doing. I already have had to increase the resistance setting on the bike from 10 to 11 (out of 20) to keep my heart rate in the target zone, so it's paying off.
