Weekly post: What did you do?

[cereta]

For those of you who weren't here last week, this would be our weekly chance to talk about what we did this week. 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 didn't want to try anything too new this week because I'm getting ready to run a 5k race on Sunday (wish me luck!), but like others here I'm feeling inspired to get to where I can do chin-ups. So I did do some lateral pulldowns on Saturday, Tuesday, and today. And since someone here had mentioned it was good to alternate pushing and pulling exercises I did shoulder presses at the next machine over.

Also did some lower body strength stuff with a stability ball on Monday and some squats and lunges on Wednesday. I found the posts about squats at Stumptuous interesting. I had never been told it was dangerous to go all the way down (which apparently is a big myth that everybody who tries doing strength training gets told?) but I had just followed my instructors at stopping with my butt about level with my knees. Going lower was interesting and I want to practice that (maybe to get better at balancing) and then try to add weight.

Hoping to get a little more serious about this next week!
