cross-training

I thought I'd best give my muscles a little change from racewalking, so I did the bike and elliptical today, plus a good hard set of weights. I did bench press with dumbbells/abductor machine; hamstring ball curls/calf raises; lat pull-downs/one-legged squats (with good form this time, and no knee trouble!); bicep curls and tricep skull-crushers; back extensions on ball, then a good ab set including oblique crunches and regular crunches on the ball, ball passes (prone, from feet to hands and back again), plank, and hip-ups. Stretching at the end felt good.
