Another gorgeous November day here! Seriously lacking on sleep right now despite having turned the clocks back an hour last night but I hit up Planet for bi's and tri's around mid-day after a delicious, hearty scrambled egg breakfast. I usually do World's on Sundays but I didn't feel much like mingling with the usual noon crew. Planet was remarkably empty which was a nice change from its usual weekday post-work crowd.
I started my workout with a warmup on the arc trainer. I'm not a huge fan of this machine as I don't like the stationary handles but its always nice to switch-up the routine! After 15 minutes on that, I went upstairs and did free weight bicep curls (3 sets of 8), stability ball tricep dips on the bench (3 sets of 8-12), and then did bis and tris using a short bar on the cables (3 sets of 8 each). Moving on to abs, I did 4 sets of 8 on the leg lift machine (2 sets forward and 2 to the sides) and then finished off with teepees back downstairs in the stretching area (3 sets of 8). I got some great pics of these that I'll post on a new tab shortly, so check back later tonight if you want to see how they are done! After a good roll-out on a foam roller (ouch!) and some all-over stretches, I was out for the day.
It was so sunny and warm when I walked out that I decided it would be a great day to take my pup for a long walk so I went home, packed him in the Jeep and ventured down to Scarborough to walk across the marsh between Black Point Rd. and Pine Point Rd. Such a gorgeous trail and hardly any other dogs which made for a pleasant stroll. I'd say he got in a good workout too since he's snoring away right now!
Well, all in all it was quite the satisfying Sunday! I'm not yet sure which gym I'll hit up tomorrow as its the first Monday of the month - pizza day at Planet - and I'm not really keen on the idea of trying to work out with the smell of greasy cheesy deliciousness wafting in my direction. Either way, its definitely going to be a run day!
