1.7 Treadmill Miles + Back & Abs

1.8 Treadmill Miles + Back & Abs

Was over at Steve & Ann's this afternoon and went downstairs to do a little circuit work with the big brother. While one of us was running .6 mile intervals, the other did back rows, then lat pulldowns, then abs. It worked well because we were able to alternate cardio work with the lifting and abs as a means to keep the workout fresh. Good music helped too.

Quick Chest Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Quick Chest Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Got to the gym at lunchtime today for a quick chest workout before shooting some hoops. I started with dumbbell chest press of 35,45,55. I then did machine assisted seated chest press at 60-70-80. I finished with bench press of 135. Then, bball. I made a half-court shot on my 10th attempt or so. It wasn't easy given my muscles felt like jello from lifting.

2 Mile Treadmill Run + Shoulder Workout

2 Mile Treadmill Run + Shoulder Workout

Was a bit crunched for time, but still wanted to get in a lunchtime workout today. Made it to the gym and got on the treadmill for a fast 2 mile run. I slowed down towards the end and still finished in just over 16 minutes. Of interesting note, there was a girl two treadmills down from me that had uncontrollable, periodic belches. Quite disgusting. Anyways, after the run I worked out in the free weight area and concentrated on shoulders. Did dumbbell raises, shrugs, and sitting overhead raises before having to head for the shower.

3 Mile Treadmill Run + Back & Ab Workout w/ Stever

3 Mile Treadmill Run + Back & Ab Workout w/ Stever

Met Stephen at his hometown gym, the BSC in Natick for a quick hour-long Sunday morning workout to escape the morning heat. Started off with a 3 mile treadmill run, completed somewhere in the 25 minute range. After the run we did four lower back exercises, then finished off with ten minutes of core work. Good stuff.
