First "real" workout of 2008

Warm-up: 10 minutes, stationary bike

Run: 2 miles in about 25 minutes
(Hey--after the holidays it was just good to be moving at all.)

Stretch: about 20 minutes

Abs: 125 sit-ups (many variations)

Upper body:
bicep curls (2 x 12 w/8lbs)
tricep raises (2 x 12 w/8lbs)
chest lifts (2x 12 w/8lbs on giant blue ball)
shoulder press (2x 12 w/8lbs on giant blue ball)
reverse fly (1 x 12 w/8lbs on giant blue ball)

Lower body:
squats on smith machine (2 x 12 w/ 25lbs)
calf raises (2 x 15 w/35lbs)
abductor (1 x12 w/ 50 lbs?)
leg press, single legs (2 x 12 w/ 70lbs?)

Alright, so this wasn't a Herculean workout by any means, but holy crap I was at the gym for a good two hours! I'm glad it was Sunday morning and I had the free time. I figured I'd give myself an all-over workout to start the week off right. And I think this will be my last week of any runs for 2 miles. *Although* like I stated in my earlier post, if I run 2 miles bc it's better than doing nothing, then I will be happy with having done something. I just don't want to increase too crazy from running once a week to now running 3 times a week. Right now I just want to get back in the mindset of working out more often than I had been.
