Saturday, May 2: \u00a0<\/strong>Although\u00a0I’m as of today officially in half-marathon training mode, I began the month with a weights session as I decided to give the toe I cut ten days ago a little more time to heal before I put it into one of my smelly and dirty running shoes. What it lacked in cardio, my 65-minute workout made up for in sheer power and intense muscular exertion: chest and triceps (30 minutes) abs and sides (15 minutes), shoulders (15 minutes), traps (7 minutes), and stretching (8 minutes).<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 3: <\/strong>Back on a treadmill today for a 30-minute session. Most of it was walking (quite quickly) up an incline, but I finished with a 16.7 kilometer sprint to the 500 calorie finish line. I concluded the workout with a 20-minute legs weights session:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, May 4: <\/strong>\u00a0Back and abs day! Biceps, lats, back, forearm (the inner muscle whatever that’s called), sides, and lower back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 5:<\/strong>\u00a0Back in half-marathon training mode today with a 45- minute treadmill session followed by a wee legs workout. Here’s the proof:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 6: <\/strong>A solid weights session tonight: chest, triceps, lower abs, calves, shoulders, traps, and some stretching of my legs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, May 7:<\/strong> Today’s cardio session was cut short at the 36-minute mark due to a cramp in my left thigh. I thought for a while there I might have torn it, but it felt fine within a few minutes. I was tempted to get back on the treadmill, but I realised it’s better to be safe than sore:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, May 8: <\/strong>My left thigh still felt a little stiff, so I skipped the cardio and instead lifted plenty of weights: lats, back, biceps, forearms, lower back, and a wee bit of stretching.<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 9: <\/strong>On the cross trainer today to give my slightly stiff left lower thigh muscle a gentler workout. After Earth was playing on my machine’s TV, and it looked pretty good! It at least helped pass the time:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>Sunday, May 10: <\/strong>A lighter wet session after band practice: lower abs, sides, lower back, and calves.<\/p>\n

Monday, May 11: <\/strong>Back on the cross trainer for a 66-minute workout:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 12:\u00a0<\/strong>I was tempted to skip today’s workout, but I conquered that temptation. The result was a pretty solid chest, triceps, shoulders, and triceps.<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 14:<\/strong> Back on my favourite treadmill for a late-night cardio session:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, May 16: <\/strong>Back, biceps, traps, lower back, and calves.<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 17: <\/strong>A 70-minute cross trainer session. Here’s proof! – Oops, wrong date on the photo:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 18:\u00a0<\/strong>I was a\u00a0little pushed for time, so just a quick chest, shoulders, triceps, lats, thighs, hamstrings, and calves workout. About 30 minutes in total. I probably won’t be sore tomorrow, but I’m glad I got that workout in.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 19:<\/strong> Back on my favourite treadmill for a late-night 4.5-kilometer session:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday, May 20: <\/strong>A 30-minute legs workout after my evening lesson.<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 21:<\/strong> A 50-minute treadmill session. That half marathon next month is unfortunately getting closer day by day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 23: <\/strong>A short unenthusiastic back, biceps, and forearms workout. My heart and mind just weren’t in it today.<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 24: <\/strong>A shorter, steeper workout due to a lot of busyness and crazy events. I’m glad I got the workout in though as I was very tempted to give it a miss.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, May 25: <\/strong>Another short and steep cardio workout:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, \u00a0May 26: <\/strong>Pushed for time (and sleep), I only had time for a 30-minute chest, shoulders, triceps, and traps workout.<\/p>\n

Friday, May 29: <\/strong>Another shortish, steep cardio workout. Crazy days, but I’m trying to stay as active as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 30:<\/strong> A short and not all that intense back, lats, and biceps workout followed by another short, steep treadmill session:<\/p>\n
