Took the dd to the gym today…….not the best gym partner as she really isn’t into working too hard and I find it frustrating.

Anyway, worked arms today. One rotation of the arm machines. Did more cardio today as I was feeling like working hard. Walked 2.07 miles and got 38.32 minutes. Felt really good when I got done.

Did arms today and only did 1 rotation of arm machines at 30 reps with 2 minutes at treadmill in between. Increased my weight as well. My arms are very weak so its frustrating.

I’m trying to increase my cardio so I can build up some stamina. Did 1.96 miles today. The first 0.75 before I start on the machines is the hardest as my shins are still sore even with insoles in my shoes.

Yeah, it’s Monday!!

Mixed things up a bit and tried to get in a bit more cardio today then normal. Only did 1 rotation on the leg machines but tried to increase the weight a bit this week.

I’m having a terrible time with shin splints…..I think I’m going to try some arch support insoles and see if that helps a bit.

Today I walked 1.74miles in total and got 32.31 minutes of cardio!

Happy Friday and Happy SysAdm Day!!

Today was leg day and I LOVE Leg day.

Walked my usual 0.75miles to warmup and then did all the leg machines (2×30) with 2 minutes at the treadmill in between. Wrote down everything I did today so I could figure out exactly how many miles I was walking and keep track of the weights I’d doing on the machine.

Have a great day!!
