The first time I tried all the workout machines at the Y I could barely do a single set of 10 reps on most things, and with minimal weight. It's been about a month, and here's what I did today...

30 mins elliptical - 3000 strides, 300 cals burnt

shoulder press 3X10 50 lbs

low back extension 3X10 50 lbs

chest press 3X10 45 lbs

hip abduction 1X10 50 lbs L, R (one set on each side)

hip adduction 1X10 50 lbs L, R

hip extension 1X10 50 lbs L, R

hip flexion 1X10 50 lbs L, R

rotary torso 3X10 50 lbs

leg press 4X10 150 lbs

abdominal crunch 5X10 50 lbs

leg extension 3X10 75 lbs

It's not much yet, but it's SO much more than I started at that I am really excited!

Hugs! Mel

Linda...

Spring has come to Houston. It's clear, sunny, high about 77, and no humidity. We are going to have beautiful weather until late May now.

Maybe but we only have 4 months of beautiful weather and then BAM 5 months of 100 plus 100% humidity followed by 3 months of icky winter.

My husband travels to Houston a lot on business (actually, The Woodlands), and he always complains about the heat and humidity down there. I'm glad you're having nice weather now, though.

Oh goodness and that is far north Houston. He needs to come into the city then. From May until September we have heat and humidity. But it does keep you skin nice and wrinkle free and soft. :)

It's beautiful all week here. I am so excited that I get to walk and enjoy the sun.
