I don’t like strength training or stretching, but I am unable to do any walking, elliptical, stairs, or biking due to my piriformis bursitis…

I still need to do some prescribed stretching today.
I decided to use the downtime in between pushup sets to do the physical therapy exercises.
8 sets of 32 pushups + 1 set of 26 for 282 pushups total. That makes 10,122 pushups since 12/27/2008.

Given today’s diagnosis and advice from the doctor’s office, I biked on the blasted stationary bike.
StairMaster bike @ 20 resistance, 11.33 miles in 30 minutes (aerobic program)… last attempt was 10.88 miles, but I didn’t run before this attempt.
Pull-ups:
4 sets of 10 @ 100 lbs assist
Seated Press:
10x175 lbs10x160 lbs10x145 lbs10x130 lbs10x115 lbs15x100 lbs
I was so geared up by the end of the workout that I was ready to break out a 6’30″ mile, despite knowing that that would probably finish me off.
Yes, I stole that one from the Woot.com message boards.
Run:
1.25 miles (11:33) 9'15"
Massage yesterday and stretching beforehand really helped, but I tightened up too much by 1.25 miles. Couldn’t restart after stopping. Main stretching was for piriformis muscle, some hamstring, quad, ITB stretches also. This may just be a slow ramp up back to 8 miles and beyond.

I hate cycling. Such a painful waste of non-productive exercise time.
