In the interest of efficiency (and energy conservation, as I had a hair appointment in the afternoon and wouldn't get a nap), I decided to skip the cardio portion of my workout today. Instead, I walked as briskly as possible on the way to the gym and back. I kinda got out of breath.
So, just weight-type stuff:
Presses (modified*) - 35 x 14, 14, 14
Presses - 50 x 9 (Just one set, to make sure I still can. :-)
Step-ups - 20/leg x 3 sets
Lat pulls (chin-up grip, slow) - 85 x 9, 9, 9
Calf raises (single leg) - 10, 10, 10
* Wide grip on the bar, very slow up and down, alternatively lowering the bar behind my head and in front.
It was a small-ish workout as these things go, but I tried to make the most of it by doing the reps really slow and deliberately. I found the step-ups to be pretty hard - cardio-wise, a full set of 40 felt something like running a 400 m. (Ok, maybe a 400 m at 80%.)
Kind of a small workout, but enough for today. It's late in the afternoon, and I SO need a nap!
