(FRIDAY) '[NECESSARY Workout] 2: Back in the Habit'

 ... (The title is a PLAY on the quality film--'Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.'  That film is actually waaay MORE clever, because the reference to "habit" DOUBLES as a pun for the religious feminine headpiece.  (The protagonist acts as a NUN.)


Well, first & foremost, I was SOOOOORELY disappointed that the damn maintenance guy[S] couldN'T figure out how to fix my new wheelchair.  After close to an HOUR of just playing with it, they finally just gave up & promised their return.  UUUGGGHHH!


In terms of my ACTUAL strength & conditioning, well, first, I performed my usual 

-- hand-stretching exercises with an elastic band

-- One set of 20 hammer curl repetitions w/ a 10 pound dumbbell on my LEFT arm

-- One set of 30 bicep curl repetitions w/ a 15 pound dumbbell on my RIGHT arm followed by one set of 10 hammer curl reps w/ a 10 pound dumbbell also on my RIGHT arm

-- Stretches of my LEFT shoulder

-- Hamstring stretches with a big, plastic ball

-- 125 "HIP-ups" (80 then short break then 45)

-- 10 tricep extensions w/ 10 pound dumbbell on LEFT arm then 10 reps w/ 15 pound dumbbell on RIGHT arm

-- 120 consecutive seconds of PLANKING

-- Four laps of STRAIGHT walking along parallel bars followed by 30 calf raises

-- ~15 minute BIKE ride around my community


-----> AAAAAND, I wrote a BUNCH more.
