Weekly Feature: What did you do?

[cereta]

I thought it might be fun to have a weekly post where people could comment with what strength training they did this week. It could be a fun way get ideas, cheer each other one, and help our members keep track of their own work.

I'm keeping the title completely neutral, because I want this to be as broad as possible. You can go into detail, you can talk about something new you did or an increase of some kind, or you can just report time or days or whatever makes you happy.

Comment away!

I haven't done any strength work in the last few months because my work schedule got difficult and I had to stop going to classes, and I find it really difficult to do this on my own. I get distracted, confused by so many different possible exercises, can't keep track of what I've done or should be doing from one workout to the next. I've been concentrating on running and neglecting the strength stuff.

Still, this comm and rydra_wong's recent posts have gotten me interested again. I bought an exercise ball recently and last Saturday got out the video to go with it. So I haven't been lifting heavy things but I've done at least a bit of strength work most of the days this week, and had some sore muscles in the days afterward, especially abs and hamstrings. It's felt good.

The semester's ending and I'm hoping I can get into a more balanced routine again pretty soon.
