In addition to the stress I put on my legs during my marathon training I have added the leg extension to my training regime.
My weight is back to normal since I did not do any long training runs for the marathon this week. A few weeks ago it dropped to 137!.
I love conducting my upper body workouts with the medicine ball. I typically do 2 sets of at least 20 with this 14 pound ball.
Other exercises completed during this gym workout were: 150 jumping jacks; 70 sit-ups; 2-mile run on treadmill; 20 push-ups; 20 repeats of 30 pound bicep curls; 20 repeats of 50 pounds on leg extension, and 40 repeats of 30 pounds on leg extension.

A nice article! Do you know how to bring those who really need it to the gym?
My advice would be to get in with someone that goes regularly, join a group, or just utilize the cold turkey method such as just going, even if they aren’t in the mood.
Thank you for the piece of advice! The mood for exercise can be present or not but going regularly is very important indeed.
I have my days when I’am not in the mood to go throughout the week. Sometimes I just give in to my mood, and sometimes I just go. I’am known to utilize caffeine to boost my energy after work.
That gym looks awesome because it has no unnecessary equipment.
I love it because it is never busy. Not many in the neighborhood care about maintaining their fitness. The gym costs only $15 a month, and hell they don’t even trap you into paying month-by-month.
Marathon is like punishing the body so you need the proper training.
Tell me something I don’t know. Its a constant uphill ride
Keep going my friend, great job!
Thanks, Carol for you words of encouragement
