Biking warm up/down 17:00 [2] 5.1 mi (18.0 mph)
ahr:130 shoes: 200712 NB Absorb EX 11.5
I started my workout with a 15 minute warm up on a stationary bike at my gym. It was relatively uneventful, primarily because stationary bikes are incredibly boring. I started at what felt like a comfortable pace, though it seems to have been faster than I intended for a warm up. I suspect the bike may have been miscalibrated.
Strength training 1:00:00 [4]
shoes: 200712 NB Absorb EX 11.5
I continued my workout with a weight training sequence, with the following (not necessarily orthogonal) components:
- curling
- squatting
- quadriceps machines
- lateral raises
- abdominal and core exercises
- pullups
- lunges
Yeah. One of my favorite exercises is an abdominal contraption where your upper body stays stationary while your legs swing up during exertion. The exercise is demanding, but not as strenuous or painful (for me) as crunches or leg lifts, so I can repeat 50 times in a set readily. Abdominal exercise is not one of my fortes, though I think this is more due to my weight than to weak abs.
