    Ten plus mile hike on the Trail of Ten Falls. It was a quite rainy day, so there were a lot fewer people than my last two visits. There were lots more wildflowers though.

    Leg day today, along with back because I neglected to do anything back related for the week and 4 sets of hanging leg raises because the gym got some new equipment and I wanted to try it out.

    7 minute jog and some stretching to warm up
    4 sets dumbell lunge
    4 set seated leg curls
    3 sets cable row to give my legs a break before squats
    5 sets of smith machine back squats
    4 sets of the hanging leg raises
    4 sets of lat pulldowns
    7 minutes on the stair stepper.

    And that was that. I've started going to the gym when it's busy every other evening to get my cardio in and generally keep weighted exercises and cardio seperate.

    Sunday:

    Chest, tricep and shoulder

    5 sets cable crossover fly
    4 set cable rope tricep extensions
    3 set cable lateral raise
    4 set machine fly
    3 set assisted dip
    4 set shoulder press

    Monday: Some curls at home but otherwise a rest day, my legs were still sore from Saturday.

    Today: ran on the treadmill for 50 minutes. 30 minutes of jogging and the other 20 was intermittent uphill sprints. I still had some spring in my step at the end as well which is nice.

    Welcome to the thread, @drv123!

    Question about the workouts you posted. In both situations you performed the large multi-joint compound exercise (squat, bench press) AFTER the single-joint isolation exercises. Conventional wisdom is to perform the heaviest, most technically-demanding exercises early, while your muscles are still fresh, unless you have a specific reason to change the order. Just wondering what your goal is, why you chose to do them in this order.

    Rowing machine, 10 min. Then a series of free weight exercises and squats, V-sits, stretching. Thirty min. tops in the gym and I'm soooo tired.

    Last day of chemo pills for this cycle. (For those who aren't regulars on this thread, I don't have active cancer but am doing "clean up chemo" to catch any stray cells post-surgery. The side effects of the pills are supposed to be mild but my feet are catching the brunt of it with redness, black spots, blistering. Ugh.)

    This morning I got up at 5:30 and completed a Gymshark training app workout called "Pull" It is a part of their Bodybuilding basics plan. Overall it went well and I trained to failure .

    10 min elevated walk, Pull-ups, close grip lat pull downs, bent over dumb bell rows, barbell rows, spider curls and hammer curls.

    Six more miles on the NuStep before bed.
    That’s a total of 89.15 for April.
    An average of 2.98 miles a day.
    I had set a goal to average 2.25 miles a day, so, by my very low standards, I knocked it out of the park.

    Did not report Tuesday's 18.9 mile (30 km) bike ride, on a beautiful, sunny, 70-something F (21-ish C) Spring day. It was excellent.

    No workout Wednesday. I didn't fit one in before my osteopath appointment, and I don't like to work out right away after - I want to give the body fixes a chance to settle in. :D

    Today was a little yard work, then our first open rowing session of the season at my rowing club, and I was supervising. I did a little boat carrying, but nothing grand.

    It was already past 8PM when I got home, and somehow I hadn't even eaten lunch (partly because of a mysterious power outage) let alone dinner. Decided to shoehorn in a short stationary bike ride, 10k + 3' cool-down, but push the pace slightly harder than the Z2 I've been doing. Ended up with 19% Z4, 53% Z3, remainder below.

    30 min walk in the park. Found an exercise ball at home in a closet, took it out and used it for abdominal crunches, and some body weight strength exercises. :)

    I haven't logged for a while.

    I went scuba diving over the weekend. Saturday was a highlight; we got a shed load of scallops in. We intended to barbecue them, but it was raining so we pan fried them. The wreck on Sunday only had one metre's visibility.

    I went climbing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 4 consecutive days' climbing may not be the greatest plan; I was broken today. (I went flat out in every session; the average length was 3 hours.)

    Two hikes in three days.

    Yesterday I spooked a few Turkey Vultures and then came upon a fairly clean but fresh deer carcass. That's when I started seeing cat tracks. Kind of sketched me out. I kept my head on a swivel until I got back to the main path. I'm sure the cat was right by the trail watching me. The tracks were very fresh. I'm sure I've been stalked before. Odds are if you've been in the forest at least four times, a cougar was stalking you at least once. Fortunately we're not on the menu, but I still don't want to get jumped.

    17 min. bike ride in my neighborhood and a 10 min. walk with the dog in the AM. But THEN . . .
    Hubs and I drove to Tulsa for a Cheap Trick / Heart concert and got there 2 hours early for free parking. In between walking from the car to a restaurant, then to the BOK Center, then back to the car because they don't allow purses, then the BOK again for the concert and finally back to the car: around 23 min though it could well have been more. What a fun night! I paid for it with a few blisters, but worth it.

    I had a couple of days off exercise, as I picked up a cold.

    I went climbing today in a 3.5 hour session. It was good fun, I was in form.

    I tried loads of dynos, and actually got all but one one them. Jumping is fun. I am terrible at it, but I seem to be quite good at committing to it.

    I love that part so much, @drmwc. :)
