17 Sept 09

Had to make this a early morning gym day, it's my anniversary today and we're heading out tonight. Got to the gym this morning about 5:45, wanted to get some cardio in so I jump on the eliptical so I wouldn't aggrevate my back to much.

35min Eliptical

4 rounds
Back Extensions x10
Ball crunch x10
Side crunch x20 (10 l/r)

3 Rounds
Incline situps x10
14# Seated Russian twist x20

I ended up doing some intervals on the eliptical to open up the lungs and to get the legs burning. I gave myself a chiropractic adjustment on the back extensions. I almost saw stars when I first did the back extensions! Got into the bottom position and the traction it created on my back hit the spot in my lower back were I'm having the problems. I felt the pop and about hit the ceiling, would've felt better if I was expecting it. I did it a second time to work out the area a little more, definately alot of tendrness in there. It did feel better afterwords, now I just keep on stretching it out. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to the gym and do it again.
