Ran on the treadmill for about 3 hours this week... ran about 15 miles in all, as well as I plan to run a bit more tonight after I finish homework. I have a dislocating knee cap, so running is hell on my legs, but good for me :)

Workout Log

Today after class, I worked out for about an hour at the gym in my dorm.
I did 15 mins of Cardio on the treadmill, 20 mins on the super circuit,15 on free weights and a 10 mins cool-down on the eliptical.

Sort of Spaced the logging...Oops...

Well I went to NY and did a TON of running around. I walked around Times Square and surrounding 7th Ave areas for about 5 hours on Sunday
Then, I walked around Greenwich Village on Monday for about 4hours
Rachel, Nicole & I are doing a cycling class- so I also did an INTENSE workout on Tuesday

Workout Log

I thought I'd add my own Workout Log here too, so you can have me as an example (hopefully a good one!)

So this week (and pretty consistently all semester) I've been going and lifting weights (and soaking in the hot tub) MWF here in the Boulder 24 Hr Fitness. We've been doing a system my husband learned from a Metro weight training class. Here's how this session has rolled so far:

1) Speed: rowing machine
2) Legs: extension machine (my knees HATE this one!)
3) Chest: press machine
4) Arms: dips machine
5) Shoulders: a machine I call the "chicken wing"
6) Special Focus: decline abs (with a twist!)
7) Hot Tub Soak

Most of the machines are these cool things called "Hoist" which moves you around as you lift--it's kinda like a fitness amusement park! Oh, and we're planning on adding some martial arts training time Fridays, as I'm not jetting off to school that day. I'll keep you posted with any interesting techniques!

Anyway, that's my workout week (aside from all the walking I do being carless) -- I look forward to reading your Observation exercises before tomorrow!    ~Prof. Jenn

A sad entry in the work out log.

So, yeah, this is totally embarrassing.
I tried to do some upper-body exercises earlier in the week starting with some cheat-push-ups which put a major kink into my back. After consulting for advice, I tried to work the kink out on Wednesday only to make the pain so bad that I had trouble moving in any direction for fear of my muscles killing me with the power of mental thinking.

So I tried, but failed miserably. But on the bright side, the kinks are gone after some nice muscle relaxants. I think I'm going to stick to working on my core muscles for a while.
