Today I finally went down to the Capital News Centre and signed up for a 3-month term. My plan is to do the workout from the Triathlete Bible 3X a week. If I can go twice after school and once on the weekend, that would be best but if I have to, I'll only go once after work.
It took me awhile to figure out which machines I wanted to use and to find my 1RM. Then I had to figure out 40-60% of that 1RM for my beginning weight. Ironically enough, it was the minimum weight on most machines. It figures.
I was supposed to do the squats with a 30-35 lb bar, but the lightest bar I could find at the time was 45 lbs. I could not do 20 reps of the leg curls, and the abs workout was too hard on the decline bench so I think I'll do regular abs work with a twist, and/or on the ball.
My current goal is to do 3 sets of 20, working my way up to 5 sets of 30.
Today:
6 minute warm up on rowing machine.
10 minute cool down on bike. (I won't bother with this next time. I'd rather ride the trainer at home.)
