February 2011 Fitness Diary!

Monday, February 1: Unfortunately, I started the month with a yucky cold. I didn’t feel quite up for some cardio, so I instead did some weights at the gym: back, traps, lats, biceps, sides, lower back, abs, thighs, hamstrings, and calves. That was quite a workout for a sick boy.

Saturday, February 5: Back in the gym after a nice lunar new year’s break full of non-exercise, music, and some beer. My cold is still lingering, but I felt well enough to do some cardio. 3.5 on the treadmill followed by a legs workout: thighs, hamstrings, and calves:

Sunday, February 6: A short sharp 25-minute gym workout: chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Monday, February 7: Another short, sharp gym workout. This time back, biceps (which were quite sore the next day) traps, lats, lower back, sides, and abs.

Wednesday, February 9: Back on the treadmill after completely recovering from my recent cold for a slow and steady 4 km jog which was followed by a thighs, hamstrings, and calves workout:

Thursday, February 10:  A very short (approx 21 minutes) and sharp gym session today just focusing on chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Saturday, February 12:  A steady and steep 3.5 km on the treadmill followed by weights: calves, hamstrings, quads, back, biceps, traps, lats, and lower back:

Sunday, February 13: A swim perhaps? I did indeed make it to the pool, but only swam 14 laps due to boredom, hunger, and a dash of laziness.

Monday, February 14: A morning workout while a snow blizzard raged outside. Three km on the treadmill (much steeper incline) and then some exercises for my abs:

Wednesday, February 16 (Graduation Day): I made my way to the gym for a pre-graduation workout earlyish in the morning. Three km on the treadmill followed by a quick chest, shoulders, and triceps workout:

Monday, February 21: Back exercising today after a short break and an ultra-rare exerciseless weekend. Five km on the readmill followed by a legs workout. I also started watching the latest season of Australia’s Biggest Loser… inspirational stuff!

Tuesday, February 22: I gave my legs a rest today and just did come upper body and core exercises: back, traps, lats, biceps, sides, abs, and lower back.

Wednesday, February 23: A shorter treadmill session (2.5 km), but I made up for it by later jumping on the gym’s shiny new spin bike for the first where I pedaled away for 5 minutes. Between those two cardio sessions I did weights for chest, shoulders, and triceps:

Saturday, February 26: Three kilometers on the treadmill followed by weights for back, biceps, traps, lats, forearms, lower back, hamstrings, and thighs. All that took 70 minutes which was my longest workout in a while:

Sunday, February 27: Stayed home on a wet and cold rainy day and did some chest and shoulder exercises.

Monday, February 28: I ended the month with 5 km on the treadmill (26 minutes at jogging pace and the rest a fast walk up my usual steep incline) and then some abs, sides, and calves:

Not a bad month exercise wise, especially considering I was sick early in the month, but I’m still eating too much. Food, food, why can’t I resist you?
