Weight Work --



Weight work builds muscle mass, tone, increases circulation (including blood to the brain). Basic approach here is general strength/tone:

Dead lifts -- 7' bar is 45 lbs. 180 lb in plates (45 lb. / 35 lb. two each). 225 lb. is a "load" but not over doing. 3 reps, slowly. 3 sets.

Initial focus on large muscle groups -- core (hate that term), back strength, crunches. I need to get out my books and go over some routines.

I can work out in the garage w/o heat if I dress for outdoors. Sweat pants/shirt, gloves for hand protection. I could put on a knit hat.

Misting, 45 min. West along waterfront. I did some "step up" on RR track section. About knee height, step up, step down, alternate legs. In the 30 rep realm.
