So hubby and I took the last week  off (planned), and the last 3 days of the week before off (both injured). Today was the first day of officially combining the days that we were doing, to double the week workouts from the first 9 weeks.

This morning was basically Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from the beginning of the program.  After a busy (and gluttonous!) weekend, I wasn’t sure we’d make it through the workout. Halfway through, I wanted to just take a nap on the gym floor, right there. LOL. Overall, felt good to be back. Here’s what I did:

(Each exercise had 4 sets, of 8/6/5/4 reps in that order, aiming to fail at each set)

Incline Press: 90/100/110/120
Lat Pulldown: 90/100/100/100
Crunch Machine: 3 plates/4 plates/5 plates/6 plates
Leg Extension: 160/175/190/205 (Holy shit!)
Bench Press: 45/50/55/60 (Not including bar.)
Machine Rows: 160/175/190/205
Hip Adductors: 50lbs for 25 reps/50lbs for 18 reps/70lbs for 10 reps/80 lbs for 4 reps (More on this later)
Hip Abductor: 100/110/120/130
Leg Curls: 140/155/170(4 reps)/170(1 rep).. augh failed early!
Flyes: 90/105/120(3 reps)/120(2 reps)
Leg Press: 500/550/600/650

Ok, for hip Adductors, I wasn’t supposed to be doing them at all, because of my hip flexor injury. I think I’m rehabbed, but whatever. So we figured I’d start out really light and see how it goes, I was just pushing air while my husband got mad at me for doing too many reps.

So, it’s been 4 weeks and 3 days since the last time my hip went out, I think that’s long enough to slowly start trying the things that were aggravating it before. I’m considering trying some (easy!) inline skating at the rink tonight, if they have a figure skating session.
