Suffering thy name is delayed onset muscle soreness...

I made it to the gym yesterday and was the only person there so I had lots of fun going round inspecting all the machines I've not used yet. I think I'm going to have lots more fun torturing myself. I have decided that for now I am going to go every third day so my next gym day is Tuesday. I don't want to push myself too hard now that I end up wearing myself out and I give up so for me I think my rest days are as important as the days I go to the gym.

So yesterday my workout consisted of:

• 3 minute warmup on the cross trainer at level 5 followed by lots of stretching. I concentrated a lot on stretching out my pecs as these were the only bits of me that really hurt after my last session.
• 15 minutes on the cross trainer doing the same interval training as I did the last time. I find this really tough, my heart rate goes waaay up and it completely poops me but anything that hard has gotta be good for you, right??
• I did some strecthing on my thighs and pecs before moving onto the fixed weight machines.
  
• 2 sets of 12 reps on the chest press machine - I took the weight down to 5kg this time as last time using 7.5kg was too difficult and I was still sore from it.
• 3 sets of 12 reps on the thigh adductor (this is the machine you use to tone your inner thights). It took me a while to work out exactly what weight I should be using but I ended up on 35kg. I dunno if this was too low a weight as it only really got tough on the last reps of the last set but I'm feeling it today - I need to find more stretches to work on this area I think.
• 12 minutes on the treadmill - for the first 7 minutes or so I did a really tough hill climb. The incline varied from 2% - 7% as I ran and I got really puffed so I had to take it down a notch and set the incline to 2% and finished the last 5 minutes with some alternate sprinting and fast walking.
• a 5 minute cool down on the treadmill walking at a steady 3mph trying to get my breath back followed by more stretching legs arms and pecs.

Today I'm definitely feeling the burn in my inner thighs but that's about the only place I really hurt so I'm off to do some more stretching to try and ease the pain!
