My body is so not ready for three days of workouts yet. At least my legs aren't. It became very clear last night when I started into my run workout that I wasn't going to last. I'm not too upset about it - I did try to push myself a little more this week than I have in the past several weeks. I know better than that. So today I'm taking off - I'm not even going to feel guilty about not taking the stairs (not that I take them all the time yet, but I feel guilty when I don't :P ).
I did *finally* get to my 3x20 for bench press, lat pulls and tricep extensions. So next time I lift I'll be upping the weight and adding bicep curls. I know I need to keep things even in my body, and that I should probably be adding a leg lift or two - but I can't get inspired about it, especially when my legs are already pretty worn out from running and the elliptical (and soon, body, I promise you, the stairs at work again). Working out is no good if I'm not interested in it - so I think I'm going to leave it out for now. But I will start thinking about what lift I'm going to add after this round of 3x12 to 3x20. No inclined press, that just *kills* my shoulders. Maybe upright rows? Seated rows? Any thoughts?

I like to use the seated row machine, I feel like it targets a lot of muscles! Do you like decline bench? I don't mind it as much as incline, you could try that! Also, for legs, we have a machine for calf raises, leg extensions, and hamstring curls. I like those, rather than squats which stress me out lol.

It's an apartment gym - and for the complex, it's pretty well stocked, but it doesn't have the leg curl/leg extension machine unfortunately. But they do have a leg press/calf raisers machine. The seated row I could do - it's the same machine as the lat/tri and it'd be easy enough to rotate that in with those... Hmm :) I can remember doing the "lift" (pull?) with my swim coach and him teaching me to do it correctly. I don't think we have a decline bench either - but I think that might stress me out too :P Thanks for the thoughts!
