Sorry to hear about the foot. Gotta take care of the peds. My feet have been in a minor Heaven since I discovered Dr. Sholl's brand tennis shoes. "Gellin' like a felon".

Yep. Had my one-on-one with one of the onsight personal trainers. We got to talking. He quickly figured out that I knew everything he did and was clear on what my short and long term goals are. After that, we chatted a bit about techniques, supplements, nutrion, ect...

Then I went and hit the weights. A little stiff from yesterday, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did work my lats a lot more than I thought I did. The machine I used pulls your elbows through an outside arc instead of straight down like most lat machines do. Really hits that outer sweep of the lat. Amazing machine really. I'm looking forward to really hitting that thing heavy as some point in the future. Pump those lats out until it looks like I have wings. ;-)

Did some military press, leg press, some ab work, and called it a day. Oh yeah... I did a 15 minute warm up on the eliptical too.

This weekend, I sit down with my various books and work up a 1-Month routine. Plot out the exercises, repetitions, approx weight targets, ect... See how that goes and modify it in a month.

Sounds like you are well on your way. My plans for walking are scuttled until the foot calms down. And, then there's the vacation to visit Prout and attendant relations. I refuse to work out unduly when on vacation. So, I guess that I'll make plans for December. *sigh*

That sounds wonderful! It's been years since I had the opportunity to lift weights, other than babies, but I loved it when I did.

I am getting more and more into my yoga routine and it has been a life saver, but I was given a very nice weight machine from a friend who was gonna dispose of it and have been meaning to start in on it to get the sweat pumping for a pre yoga warmup. The mind-body-spirit thing......

My "weight room" got commandeered so its into the basement with it now. I should be active on it within 3 or 4 weeks. (THERE! I sent myself a goal!)
