Back to the Routine

Ahhhh! It felt very good to get back to the gym today. Did my regular resistance training today. I think by Wednesday, I'll be ready to add weight to a few of the exercises, if not all. Also, I think I'm going to ask the exercise physiologist to help me change my routine. I mean, it's working, but I think I'm ready for a little bigger challenge. Also got in 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the recumbent bike. I need to watch myself, particularly on the recumbent bike. Today I got my heart rate up just a little high, like over 170 (for reference, I'm supposed to keep it in the 135-155 range). When I realized what I was doing, I backed off and got my heart rate back down where it belonged, but I need to be more careful in the future. I figure that they gave me a max heart rate for a reason...
