Strength Training: July

As per usual, I've been tweaking the exercises I'm doing. I just finished my current set on Friday, so I'll probably start a whole new routine next week. I've maxed out a few machines, so I'll either need to find a new exercise or a different machine.

Strength Training: June

Apparently I forgot about May. :) I've swapped some exercises in and out, and I've added a 10 minute fast walk at the end of the workout (at least 3 MPH and a 6-7 degree incline). Since my heart rate is already up at the end of the strength training, this is a quick way to work on cardio capacity without being insane about it. Most things had leveled out, so the gains are a lot slower now.

Strength Training: April

I don't want to do a daily thing about it, but I figure maybe I'll check in once a month and plot how strength training is going.

I started in earnest about 3 weeks ago, after a couple weeks of "getting used to working out" again. The thing I'm shooting for is to work the whole body, 3x a week, in about 30-35 minutes. You choose a weight that leads to muscle failure in a single set of 8-10 reps, and try to have no more than about 60 seconds of rest between exercises.
