Veronica: Aug 18 cardio/hips and Aug 19 cardio

Aug 18
Yesterday, my plan was to do mostly hip exercises, to try to "rehab" some recent knee achiness from running outside. This routine below has helped in the past, and today my knees felt pretty good.

Hips/core:

--Standing cable sideways hip ext: 30x12, 35x8, 40x5 (not sure of weight, might have been more)
--Lying-down sideways leg raise: 30x3
--Side plank with leg raise: 10x3
--One leg hip raise from lying on back: 24ish
--Leg sled - pliƩ style: 60x20, 80x20, toes pointed inward: ??x20
--Hip abductor machine: 50, 60, & 70 x a bunch
--Incline situps: BWx30, 15lbsx24, 20lbsx10
--Sideways knee raises on leg-raising-ab-machine (don't know what it's called): 24x3
--Standing hip lift - 40 reps x3
--Sideways situps on inclined bench - 10lbs x??, 20lbs x12

Cardio:
--15 minutes swim
--Green building - 3x (3:20, 3:33, 3:45)

I would like to try squats again soon, so took it easy today. I'm picturing a squat rack appointment for tomorrow or Friday.

Cardio:

--Running outdoors: 1.8 miles
--Running on treadmill: 2 mins @ 7.4, 10 mins @ 7.5, 1 min @ 9.0 (all at 1.0 incline)
--Erg: 10 mins @ level 4, 2:30-2:40 / 500m. Last minute was 2:40-2:45 / 500m.
--Swimming: 10 mins
48 mins total.

Stretching: 1 yoga class
