I went for a lower body workout at the MBNA Fitness Center tonight:
- Seated Leg Press: 12@205, 12@205
- Prone Leg Curl: 12@4+1, 10@4+1 (Hoist*)
- Seated Calf Extension: 12@8+1, 12@8+1 (Hoist*)
- Seated Crunch: 12@4+1, 11@4+1 (Hoist*)
- Back Extension: 12@125, 12@125
I upped the target weights by five pounds from the last time I did the lower body workout. They are all plenty heavy now.
I did get a cramp in my calf on the way out to the car afterwards. Maybe I need to do a little more stretching. Or maybe I should put the warm-up and the cool-down on the treadmill back in. This session took only 20 minutes. A 5 minute warm-up and cool-down would only bring it to half an hour. All things considered though, it was a pretty good workout.
* – The Hoist machines have numbered plates and three smallish weights you can add to the stack. At times I have guessed that the small weights are five pounds each. That would make the plates twenty pounds each. So, that 4+1 would be four, twenty pound plates plus a five pound weight, or 85 pounds. Likewise, the 8+1 would be 165 pounds. But that is just a guess.
