yesteryear

...or at least yesterday. These days are full of ponderings, what-ifs, and prophesising - business as usual in other words. However, I am also trying to pick up training while retaining me-time. So yesterday I decided - and actually felt like! - a proper strength session. Been a while since last time (Sunday) as I played volleyball Tuesday, and I'm on painkillers at the moment so I feel great! And the session went well, very well indeed. One of those almost "too good to be true" ones, but I know I was a good girl as I increased the weights and stuff. Even had to tell myself to hold back and not increase crazily and ruin it. Here goes:

10 mins cycling
Interval cycling
INCREASE! Leg press: 70+70+75 kg
Leg curl: 3x 41.5 kg
INCREASE! Leg extension: 3x 19 kg
INCREASE! Squats: 3x 25 kg (bar + 5 kg)
Lunges: 3x 10; 4 kg /hand
Ski jumps
Step-up: 4 mins (fast pace)
NEW! Jumps: 3x 10 reps (onto step-up board w. 2 levels)
Bending

Also made a new friend. There's a woman who's silly skinny-muscular and I guess I've been sort of sneak-peeking at her workout to see how she does it, and she caught me sometimes. Anyhow we started saying hello and yesterday she talked to me. Turns out she speaks very good English, is called Yoko, and thinks I "work very hard"! Maybe I'll ask her for some tips next time. She is pure muscle!
