Sunday, May 1: May began well with an afternoon back, traps, lats, lower back, biceps, and forearms workout followed immediately without any rest whatsoever by three kilometres on my favourite treadmill:
Tuesday, May 3: I took advantage of a slightly later start time (9:30 a.m.) by going to the gym bright and early for a legs, sides, and abs workout. I also threw in a couple of lower back extensions because the stiffness from Sunday’s workout had gone.
Wednesday, May 4: A solid chest, shoulders, and triceps workout preceded by a steep 3.5 kilometers on my second favourite treadmill:
Thursday, May 5: Thirty-five minutes on a spin bike because all the treadmills were being used:
Friday, May 6: Up bright and early for an intense 3o-minute legs, abs, and sides workout in my favourite gym. I expect to be very sore tomorrow and will be bitterly disappointed if I’m not.
Monday, May 9: An early morning 4-kilometer treadmill session to make up for a rare exercise-less weekend:
Thursday, May 12: Thirty minutes on a spin bike followed by a back (upper and lower), traps, lats, and biceps workout:
Friday, May 13: Up early for a short legs, abs, and sides workout.
Saturday, May 14: At an hour and 15 minutes, today’s workout was the longest and hardest in a good long while. Today’s workout consisted of exercises for my chest, shoulders, triceps, and forearms (my triceps are particularly sore as I type this Sunday morning), followed by 4 steep kilometers on my favourite treadmill:
Friday, May 20: Back exercising today after being sick since last Sunday. It’s been a while since I’ve gone so long without exercising and I really felt like I needed a workout. No cardio yet as I’m still not completely over this cruel cold, so it was a pure weights: back, biceps, traps, lats, thighs, hamstrings, calves, and lower back.
Saturday, May 21: I continued dusting away the cobwebs caused by my recent cold with another weights session: chest, shoulders, triceps, forearms, sides, and abs.
Tuesday, May 24: My first cardio session since recovering from last week’s serious cold was a frustrating one for two reasons: one, a phone call from a wrong number, and two, the sudden death of the first treadmill I used 16 minutes after I hopped on it:
Thursday, May 26: Up early (relatively) for a back, biceps, traps, lats, sides, and lower back workout followed by my 299th cardio workout since record taking began way back in the summer of 2009:
Friday, May 27: A short sharp chest, shoulders, triceps, and calves workout despite feeling pretty tired today after a late night playing cards at Sydney St.
And that was it for the month. A late night Friday night after the Kemmys kept me exercising on Saturday, a late night following Seanan’s wedding kept me from exercising on Sunday, and a busy day Monday and a returning cold kept me from exercising Monday and Tuesday. I did exercise on Wednesday though, but the picture and its short description belong in next month’s entry.
