The Workout I Won't Be Doing

Not yet anyway....

The following is an example of a typical workout I would do back in 2008.  I would work out 4 to 5 days a week:

Saturday

20 minute run on treadmill

4 sets of 18 leg press @ 105lbs
4 sets of 15 leg ext @ 40lbs
4 sets of 15 abduction @ 99lbs
4 sets of 15 adduction @ 110lbs
4 sets of 20 back ext @ 55lbs
4 sets of 15 standing calf raise @ 55lbs

20 minutes elliptical

Sunday

20 minute run on treadmill

4 sets of 12 bench press @ 55lbs
4 sets of 12 lat pulldown @ 50lbs
4 sets of 20 ab ball side to side @ albs

20 minute stationary bike

Boo - ya!

No mas! I just can't! Not right now....  

That was then, and this is now - 

Walking a 3.5 mile stretch in my neighborhood with my neighbor (as many days a week as we can get in).

I told my doctor I wanted to incorporate weights into my workout and he suggested the following (my sister said she had heard about this on some website)

Before you sit down to watch your your favorite television show, grab some free weights (10lb or 5lb or whatever) and put on the floor near where you'll be sitting.  Once your program starts, enjoy the show.  However, every time a commercial comes on, pick up your weights and do some bicep curls or triceps curls or squats.

Now you know that shows break for commercial every 5 seconds (okay, not that frequent).  So by the time your show is over, you will have completed a nice little session.  BOOM- LOOK WHO STEPPED IN THE ROOM!

Move!
