Rainy today (Wednesday 12/17) but the clouds parted long enough this morning for a 30 minute swim at the Tucson Racquet and Fitness Club (TRFC); had the pool to myself:) Prior to swimming, I started a new exercise routine developed by a personal trainer; new TRFC members get a free 1 hour personal trainer session. I asked my trainer (Laura) to develop a bone strengthening routine to combat my Osteoporosis; it relies on a mix of machine and free weight exercises to stress, and hopefully strengthen, my bones. For example, leg press, military press, lat pull downs, rows, etc. I’ve done these exercises before but going forward I attend to focus more time on them and decrease attendance at Body Conditioning classes. The latter classes consist of high reps with lower weights; my trainer confirmed I need to do fewer reps with heavier weights.
