Wow that is major progress. Impressive. I bet you feel better too.
Work has crowded out time for workouts, but I make sure I get at least
one in a week. The Y has a Fitlinxx system that keeps track of your
reps & sets on each machine, and your overall workout. Lately I've
been trying to see how much total weight I can lift in one session by
doing sets of 12 instead of 10, raising the weight, etc. I was amazed
that a small change could take my total weight lifted from the mid 30K
pounds to over 50K. I'm skipping cardio... but I'll get back to it...
the busy season for my wife will make schedules tricky around our
house.
