Didn't fill in the log yesterday, but rest assured much work was done. Worked on legs.

Leg Extensions 2x12x35, 2x10x42
Smith Machine Presses 1x12x30, 2x10x40 (arrrggggh - heavy)
Ball Reverse Hyperextensions 2x12, 2x10
Machine Standing Calf Raises 4x12x60 (also arrrgh heavy - needed a walk around after each set - oooch)
Then 25 hardcore minutes HIIT on elliptical cross-trainer. Generally here's how it goes.
2 minutes at level 12 at speed 30 (waaaaay slow)
1 minute at level 13 at speed 38
1 minute at level 14 at speed 46
1 minute at level 15 at speed 54
1 minute at level 16 at speed 62 (this felt pretty good at this point)
1 minute at level 13 at speed 38
1 minute at level 14 at speed 46
1 minute at level 15 at speed 54
1 minute at level 16 at speed 62 (little harder - got quite a sweat up now)
1 minute at level 13 at speed 38
1 minute at level 14 at speed 46
1 minute at level 15 at speed 54
1 minute at level 16 at speed 62 (ok - hurtin' now)
1 minute at level 13 at speed 38
1 minute at level 14 at speed 46
1 minute at level 15 at speed 54
1 minute at level 16 at speed 62
1 minute at level 17 at speed 70 (or close enough - bleeding from eyeballs at this point and people at gym looking at me funny)
3 minutes at level 12 at speed 30 (ahh happy feelings flooding through body - torture over)
3 minutes at level 13 at speed 38 ('cos I get bored easy).

Felt very very good afterwards.

This morning I was running late 'cos I stayed up late to check out the Oscar noms (damn these antipodes and differing time scales) and I didn't have time for cardio. I was planning just a light walk on a treadmill for 25 minutes - maybe I'll do it after work.

So today I just did.....
Machine Incline Presses - 2 x 12 x 30, 2 x 12 x 35 (this was pretty easy - must go harder)
Flat Bench Dumbell Fly - 2 x 12 x 8, 1 x 10 x 8 (mmmm - hard)
Flat bench Cable Crossover - 2 x 12 x 14, 1 x 5 x 21, 1 x 5 x 14 (couldn't quite get to 10 on 21 so dropped back to 14 for the rest of the last set)
Lying Side Leg Raises 2 x 25
Lying Front Kicks 2 x 25
Seated Twists 2 x 25
Crunches 2 x 25 (verrrry slow, quite proud of myself although I made several funny faces and the cute girl beside me looked a little worried)
