So I did 25 minutes on the elliptical trainer last night, and now I feel way worse. I think I'll have to cancel my workouts for the rest of the week. Not feeling very good about that, but then I'm not feeling good at all.

So today was my last gym day of the week. The workout was "3 Day Split - Arms". It was a pretty good workout, I think I'll feel it tomorrow sort of like how I'm still feeling the effects of Tuesday's Leg & Delts workout.

I'm already thinking of modifying the workouts (in fact I do some slight variations anyway), but the only glaring omission is the lack of a calf exercise in the Legs & Delts program. I think I'll stick with the program for 6 weeks, then start to diverge from the plan. For example, I can see ways to add lots of core body to the program by using the swiss-ball a lot more.

With my legs still feeling yesterdays workout I dragged my sorry rear end into the gym 45 minutes later than planned. Once I was there I might as well workout...

Today was "3 Day Split, Day 2 Chest & Back". I'm not as worn out with this workout as with the "Legs & Delts", but I was also not able to judge my starting weights very well. Next week should be harder as I dial into the right weight for each exercise.

I was looking for batteries for my uber bathroom scale that does weight, fat%, water%, lean%, nothing at wally-world so I'll probably have to try radio-trash next. Then I need

So I started the "3 Day Split" set of workouts today. "Day 1 Legs & Delts" is a pretty tough workout if you haven't been in the gym in a while. Being a console cowboy (aka UNIX sysadmin) for my day job has surprisingly little time for physical activity unless you mean standing in a data centre getting cold and loosing your hearing :)

I started the workout with a 5 minute bike ride while I watched the end of the Raptors/Nets game (go Raps! Boo Vince!) then got right into the workout. No weight on the squat as my form is not the best and I want to get that sorted out first. I ended with the double crunches... well actually just regular crunches, and I could only do 2 sets before my abs started cramping. I think next time I'll convert them to swiss-ball crunches.
