I really do not care to watch much/ANY television during the day. I prefer to WRITE, to exercise & to conduct extensive SELF-therapy. This can range from various finger stretches to CORE-building all the way to analyzing others' writings on Goodreads. When it comes to my actual, formal BI-weekly workout, I performed my usual routine of
20 rotary curls on my LEFT bicep, 30 [standard] bicep curls on my RIGHT bicep, 20 rotary curls on my RIGHT bicep along with numerous stretches of [only] my LEFT shoulder.
However, as I just acquired a NEW[er] mechanical wheelchair, I spent several minutes attempting to adjust the chair to various positions to better accommodate my necessary mobility. As a result, I switched onto my raised exercise mat to perform all of my curls. Additionally, I added in XX repetitions of tricep extensions (15 reps with a 10 pound dumbbell--WITH my trainer's spotting me--on my LEFT arm & 15 reps with a 15 pound dumbbell on my RIGHT arm. After my five laps of assorted walkS on my parallel bars, my 30 calf lifts & my 115 "HIP-ups" (80 + brief rest + 35), my trainer keenly realized that--with the combination of my new chair's problems & my added tricep exercises--I had time for ONLY either a bike ride OR a set of planks. He insightfully knew I'd pick to do the former.
My usually pleasant mother was--JOKINGLY--pitchin' a fit about MYYY trainer's being minimally tardy arriving for her workout.
P.S. Hats OFF to me for choosing the bike ride, as I KNOW that biking stimulates my innards enough to get my bowels moving ... withOUT requiring any medicinal assistance.
[No, I am NOT some kind of WEIRD sicko obsessed with excretions! I just find that final stage of digestion particularly relieving, because it signals to me, that some of my (supposedly natural) biological systems still do actually ... WORK!]
P.P.S. I am reeeally liking how minimal my new chair's required turning radius is. It's definitely gonna require some time to master all the steering & sizing nuances. But, I am gettin' there.
AAALL in due time.
