I started the Phase 3 workouts from "The New Rules of Lifting for Women," and while I find the dumbbell snatch great fun, the body-weight matrix was humbling. Very humbling. That was Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday was an 8-hour housework marathon with lots and lots of stairclimbing and furniture relocating.

Today, I added in a new daily exercise for my hamstrings (back on floor, heels on bench, knees and hips at 90 degrees, haul butt a few inches off floor w/o using abs, lower, repeat) that my chiropractor recommended so that they will balance out my quads, thereby stopping my quads from doing their best to rip my kneecaps off.
