I'd say, get one that has a 15% incline. I know Life Fitness is good, but I'm sure they're expensive too.

Did some pull ups, push ups, curls, tri extension, ab work yesterday. 2 rounds of them this time. Will stick with 2 rounds for the next week or so then bump it up to 3. 75 minutes on the bike tonight.
Looking for a used treadmill. You guys have any make/model suggestions or ones to stay away from? Life Fitness or Star Trac. Good commercial machines. Bigger motors, longer tracks, heavier built, low maintenance, etc. Keep an eye on Craig's List. With a full set of dumbbells and ankle weights you can get quite a variety of workouts - including core and upper body - on a treadmill.

Got in a gym session today, took it easy, did 30 minutes on the step mill and a few light cable exercises with the good arm. Saw a guy who looked just like Battue in there, he was in the water aerobics class.

25 min treadmill intervals, increasing BP up to failure, leg presses sets of 350, curl sets up to failure at 50lbs, back extension sets 115, bunch of crunches, 4x25 Push-ups, some stretching and finished off with 25 min on the stepper.
When the arm is better make an appointment with the eye Doc.
Additions: this hot milf was doing squats and leg splits in front of me. Second time she has made herself obvious. Maybe we will jump in the pool one of these days.

Scott: No correlation, it's my left arm that's injured and I'm right-handed. Of course, if the right arm had been injured, I'd be fine, variety is the spice of life.

What you meant is obviously different than what I know. Cheers,

Lower body with mostly machines, cable work and lat pulldowns with the good arm, and core plyometrics.

Did a long hike for groceries yesterday and they had steak on sale, got some and carried them back to the truck. Felt good.

Every 30 seconds on the 30 seconds execute the following: For five minutes: 2 squat cleans, 135# Then, for five minutes: 3 back squats, 225# Then, for five minutes: 4 shoulder to overhead, 135# Post reps completed to comments. 72 reps. I dropped a few rounds. I can tell I haven't been as diligent with the heavy stuff as I should be. VEK- Looks like you found your strength again! Congrats on the numbers.

Had the first PT session on the shoulder today. Range of motion stuff only. I'm getting impatient already.

90 minutes on bike trainer last night Strength training tonight
First week back at it went pretty good. Docs ok'd me to quit compression sock on leg I had DVT in 2013. Another milestone though there may be more to this one until it's totally resolved. Still feels a little weird when I work it.

Looking for a used treadmill. You guys have any make/model suggestions or ones to stay away from? I'm with you, the Rocky Balboa/Mike Tyson workout. Some body weight exercises here and there always keeps me in decent enough shape.
