Tuesday, June 1:<\/strong> Seventy-five minutes in the gym to kick off my June fitness campaign: back, traps, lats, biceps, sides, abs, and 2.5 steep km on the treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, June 2:<\/strong> I started my workout with a run on the treadmill at the gym and oops, I think I broke it because it stopped dead after 1.65 km. Luckily the next treadmill survived long enough for me to complete another 3.5 km. Doh! My right ankle, which I badly sprained last August, felt really stiff the next day. After the run I exercised my back, lats, traps, biceps, hamstrings, inner thighs, calves, and a just a few leg extensions because my left knee still hurts on occasion:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, June 4:<\/strong> Twenty-five minutes of abs in the afternoon before my 4 pm class and a late night thirty-minute gtm session in which I trained my chest, shoulders, triceps, and forearms despite waking up from my evening nap with a headache.<\/p>\n

Saturday, June 5:<\/strong> Thirty km on my exercise bike watching a season 3 episode of original Star Trek:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 6:<\/strong> I rode to the pool behind HomePlus ( a 55-minute round trip) and swam 1.7 km listening to my wonderful SwimP3:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, June 7:<\/strong> Thirty minutes of abs in the morning, but I wasn’t sore the next day. Drats.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, June 8:<\/strong> Twenty quick kilometers on my exercise bike before work watching a disappointing episode of Star Trek called “Whom The Gods Destroy.” Such a promising title.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 10:<\/strong> Drats, I’ve strained my right lat muscle and my lats are my favorite muscles to exercise. It hasn’t felt quite right since my swim on Sunday and at the gym today I tested it out with a light pull down and knew immediately that I had torn it. No more pull ups or chin ups this month and I’ll have to be careful how I exercise my other back muscles.\u00a0So at the gym I gave them a rest and worked my traps, biceps, lower back and calves plus a steep and sweaty 2.5 kilometers on the treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday, June 12:<\/strong> To the gym a little too soon after dinner at Viva restaurant for a chest, shoulders, and triceps workout followed by 3 kilometers on the treadmill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 13:<\/strong> About thirty minutes of abs in the morning. I planned to do some cardio, but didn’t get round to it. I bought an airconditioning unit at HomePlus instead.<\/p>\n

Monday, June 14:\u00a0<\/strong>Twenty sweaty kilometers on my exercise bike while\u00a0re-watching season 3 of Lost<\/em>\u00a0followed by some calf raises and bicep curls:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 17:<\/strong> Back in the gym this morning for the first tome in almost a week. I almost went yesterday but the heat and laziness kept me away. It was much hotter in the gym and they didn’t have the aircon on so I sweated buckets despite not working out any harder than usual. My right lat isn’t 100% yet, so I gave my back a rest and instead worked chest, shoulders, triceps, legs and lower back. I ended with 3 steep and very sweaty kilometers on the treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 20:<\/strong>\u00a0Twenty kilometers on my exercise bike after a mini end-of-semester vacation in Pusan\u00a0where\u00a0I ate too much, gambled wisely at Pusan\u00a0casino, dove in the shark tank at Pusan Aquarium, and bought a dolphin hat:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, June 21:<\/strong> At the gym by 8:40 a.m. for a nice sweaty 65-minute workout. My right lat muscle still isn’t 100% so I skipped pull-downs but managed some other back exercises namely bent over and upright rows plus trap shrugs. Biceps were next followed by forearms, lower back, calves, and 3 steep sweaty kilometers on the treadmill watching a reply of one of last night’s World Cup matches. No idea who was playing: not Australia, not New Zealand, not Korea, not Japan, and not Brazil. Argh I just remembered, Paraguay and some team wearing white. White lost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday, June 22:<\/strong> Thirty minutes of abs in the morning watching the latest episode of \u00a0True Blood.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday, June 23:<\/strong> I planned on going to the gym, but had a long nap after work instead.<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 24:<\/strong> An hour in the gym this afternoon after eating way too much for lunch at Mr. Pizza. Chest, shoulders, triceps, calves, hamstrings, inner thighs, and 2.5 sweaty kilometers on the treadmill:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 27:<\/strong> Back on my exercise bike for 25 kilometers this morning while watching the season finale of Doctor Who<\/em>. I really needed to exercise\u00a0today\u00a0after a terrible few days diet wise. Combination of the World Cup, three nights eating junk food with beer, and a friend’s wedding\u00a0all made it very difficult to resist beer and fatty food and<\/strong>\u00a0find the time and energy to exercise.\u00a0Fun times though –\u00a0especially Friday night out with a special lady –\u00a0but my body is feeling like I haven’t been treating it right. I\u00a0need to try harder to avoid fatty foods, and I also need to pick to the intensity. While I’ve been exercising regularly, I don’t think I’ve been pushing myself as hard as I could. The feeling\u00a0I have is I’m just barely maintaining my fitness rather than improving it. Taking on extra summer classes hasn’t helped, although that has sure helped my measly bank balance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Monday, June 28:<\/strong> I started the week with my longest and hardest gym session in a couple of months. About an hour 40 all up during which I worked every muscle group except chest, shoulders, triceps, and forearms. And a pretty quick, steep, and sweaty 3 kilometers on the treadmill satisfied the cardio component:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wednesday, June 30:<\/strong> I ended June with a quick 10 kilometers on my exercise bike before class and an evening twenty-minute gym session during which I exercised nothing but my chest, shoulders, and triceps:<\/p>\n
