Getting back to workouts with some new music.

My workouts have been progressing. I worked out 7 days of light cardio last week. I did 20-30 min each day of stairs mostly, increasing the intensity slightly each day. I don't think I overdid it, but I could definitely feel it in my abdomen. So I took Sunday off, and am about to go to the gym today. It's been 4 weeks and three days since my surgery, which was for an umbilical hernia. I will discuss it in more detail in a future post. On Saturday, I actually got on three machines and pulled and pushed some weight - not anything heavy at all. I only did about 25% of the weight I would normally have done, and I did it mostly to stretch my arms and go through the motions. 

To me, one of the most important aspects of my workouts revolves around music. I workout better and can accomplish more, with the right music. The music I listen to when I workout changes frequently, but I intend to keep a record of the stuff I listen to. Often when I start a new routine, or when I re-motivate myself, I will change my workout music. So when I started back into last week, I changed up the songs I was listening to a bit. I started the week listening to DJ Clue, The Professional, and by the end of the week, I was listening to GnR, Use Your Illusions II. I'm going to start this week with the same, as well as Train, Drops of Jupiter, which is an album I don't know well, but when I heard it a few weeks ago I thought it might be good to workout to. I will see how it is.
