Day 14

A.k.a My-first-day-as-a-gymperson. Oh my God that was so much fun! An what a feeling I've had these hours afterwards, about the same as after a really good floorball training or a game. My body feels like a chicken fillet filled with some feta cheese-mixture straight from the oven, yeah, that's the feeling. You can't imagine how much I've missed this states of both mind and body after one month and five days without exercise that actually makes you sweat. My muscles still feel tense and swollen (as in pumped) in the same time as they are completely relaxed. In conclusion I once again feel that I am my body.
So, what did I do to be this satified? Well, first I asked my physio therapist to give me som exercises this morning and then I did them (not joking, it's true):

  1. Started off by walking in a stair-machine. Interwalls on level 12 with 77 steps/minute for ten minutes. Good warm up to get the circulation in the knee going and also to work that abscent endurance.
  2. "The-girl-machine", first pressing the thighs outwards and then inwards. Working outer and inner thighs. 40 kg when doing it outwards and 25 kg inwards. 10x3.
  3. Leg curl (contraction of knee, working the hamstring), 5 kg when doing it with one leg. 12x3.
  4. Leg extension (working the quads), 10 kg when doing it with one leg. 12x3.
  5. Leg press (working the core, thighs, knees and calves). 70 kg for two legs and 30 kg for one. 12x3.
  6. Lifting of pelvis with feet on pilates ball, body from 140 to 180 degrees. To get stability from the core and increase stability in thighs and knees. 12x3.
  7. Same as above but now rolling the ball beneath the body. 12x3.
  8. Squattings with medicine ball between knees. Until I got tired of it.

THIS FEELS FREAKIN' AWESOME!
