Week 14: Camping, Oct. 7-13

By Cindy Posey | October 17, 2007

This week has been filled with a couple new adventures. I participated in a Pilate’s class which is decidedly different from Yoga. Ryan worked a Cub Scout camping trip this weekend and we stayed overnight on Saturday. I learned the hard way that we are in need of a new sleeping bag. I should have checked the gear before going out. The weather was great though, and the nice peaceful walks through the woods revitalized the family.

Balancing Act

Cardiovascular: Monday, I participated in a nice, leisurely walk around the lake with our MOMS Club. It was a two mile walk in which we were able to get a couple of speed sessions in between my toddlers who liked to get out of their strollers! I also walked on Thursday without the children and we were able to walk about four miles at a good pace on the Greenways along the river. I was able to get 20 minutes in on the stationary bike before Ryan arrived at the Y so that we could take the little ones to the Pool.

Strength Training: I only got one session in this week, but it was a good one. I completed 3 sets of 12 repetitions:

  • Leg Extension 80lb.
  • Seated Leg Curl 50 lb.
  • Leg Press 180 lb
  • Hip Abduction 135 lb.
  • Hip Adduction 70 lb.
  • Pec Dec 35 lb.
  • Pullover 60 lb.
  • Vertical Chest 60 lb.

Flexibility: I tried a Pilate’s class this week. I don’t know if I can really classify it as a flexibility routine. The use of the body in static holds definitely focused on the core muscles.
