My poor body aches all over. For the last two months I have been going to the gym 5 times a week to walk the treadmill and ride the bike. Well, I had gotten to the point that I needed to add weights to my program. I made an appointment for 10 AM today.
My instructor is a young man (32) who just had his first child. Let me tell you ladies, he put a program together for me that will keep me in the weight room for a least 2 hours everyday. My work-out chart looks like a puzzle chart. I am on two upper shoulder machines, one upper arms, one biceps, one upper back, two lower back, two core (tummy), one bench press, one board press and that is not even the inner legs or outer legs or thighs. I truly believe I have finally lost my mind. I'm not even sure that I can do all of these exercises. Right now my poor body just aches and I just got out of my soaking tub. Maybe I should just sleep in the tub tonight, the only problem with that is the water would get cold and I would look like a prune in the morning.
I guess I just did not expect the machines to make me so tired. I came home exhausted. So I am off to the kitchen for a glass of milk and then bed. If you have any ideas on using these machines, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Wow, Lou!
here's my suggestion: DON'T GO BACK!!! LOL

Well I am much better today.
Lou I am very glad to read that you will not be lifting 90lbs with your knees, my dh is very active and could not lift that. Your rethinking and thats good, you don't want to make yourself not want to do it at all. Good job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pam and Dave said that it was sure warm in Renton yesterday they had to put a ceiling fan in her office/den.
Work gently, hugs

WOW-- that is much too much! Actually, a good walking program and some weight lifting would most likely get you in fine shape for the trip. If you really want to do all that stuff go a bit slow. As you gain in strength, add more.
You really can hurt yourself if you think you can jump in and do what a 30 year old does. Take it slow and sready!Course, I'm much
Well, I have made a few changes to my weight lifting program.
