Gym today

Legs are back in order. The night before last my calves cramped in my sleep (as they do) and I think it helped and got my screwy calf back to where it was meant to be because the pain went away.

Warm up - 5mins, 5kph treadmill
15 x 2 leg curls @ 10kg
15 x 2 Fitball squats (these still burn my quads, I wonder how long it will be before I start increasing the weight)

Cardio - 20mins, 6kph treadmill - Read notes for exams while doing this. :)

2 x 15 Chest press, 10kg
15 Seated row, 10kg
15 Seated row, 15kg (that burned a bit)
15 Tricep pull down, 5kg
15 Tricep pull down, 10kg (still a bit of a struggle)
3 x 10 Fitball crunches (I think the fitball I used was too big, but the others were too small. The right size one was gone.)
3 x 10 alt. leg and arm raises
3 x 15 second prone bridge (maybe next time I'll try for 20 seconds - I'm getting better at this.)

Cool down

5 mins, 3kph treadmill (feels like I'm positively ambling)
Stretches
I hold these for 30 seconds each like I was told. Except for the lower calf stretch, I can't hold that for much more than 15 seconds without both my legs starting to shake. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or not, I can't think of any other way to do it.

Doesn't look like I'm gonna put a flutter on the horses for tomorrow. So I'm not going to commit to any particular horse. Last time I did that and didn't bet the bloody horse came in (that was Rogan Josh).
