Okay—I DID IT! I finally got up the courage to go up to our local rec Plex and do a circuit in the weight training room! If it hadn’t been for all of the posts/pix I’ve been seeing, and all the support I feel here at FS, I don’t know if I’d ever have done it! I haven’t done weights/machines since 20 years ago—except for physical therapy. I’m going to record here what I did, and I’m going to have to take a picture, too. 😬 I’ll be waiting to see some progress before I even think about posting it! There were some nice people who helped me out (I was sitting totally backwards on the back extension machine!), and I was careful not to overdo things. Then I came home and walked my dogs for 30 minutes. The ice pack feels good on my back and I just finished lunch (Amy’s Mexican Casserole and Tostitos). I’m so glad I went and that I finally overcame my fear of going. It’s only taken me a few months to go; in the past it would’ve been years. Now I need to figure out what to do to make progress without getting hurt. 😊🥰 Here’s what all I did:

stretched; walked 5 laps (17 laps = 1 mile)
Arm extensions: 3 sets of 10, 15#
Arm curls: 3 sets of 10, 10#
Overhead presses: 3 sets of 10, 30#
Low row: 3 sets of 10, 10#
Torso rotation: 2 sets of 5, 10# (unsure if I’ll do this again w/all my back issues)
Abdominal presses: 3 sets/10 reps/ 30#
Back Extensions: 3 sets/10 reps/30#
Leg extensions: 3 sets/10/20#
Leg press: both legs—4 sets/10/50#; each leg—3 sets/10/30#
Hip abduction: 6 sets/10/35#
Hip adduction: 3/10/35#
Walked 5 laps; stretched
