New Piece Of Workout Equipment

My new Pec Deck arrived here yesterday. It is the Body Solid model GPM65. It took me a couple of hours to get it put together since there were no instructions included. All they gave me was a schematic but it was a copy of a copy of a copy. Needless to say it was rather difficult to read.
I tried to locate an actual instruction manual online but it appears that the company did not make one for this model.
I was relatively surprised that I was able to get it all put together with only a few minor mistakes being made.
One thing I like about this particular model is that it has a small footprint, which is important since I am running out of space in our garage.
It measures only 28-by-65-by-32 inches (W x H x D).
I used this machine for the first time today and it works really well and is very smooth.
Below are photos of my new Pec Deck:






Getting Back In The Swing Of Things

Today I began the road back to a full recovery from my knee surgery. This morning I walked 5 miles without taking a break and I also started back into my weight lifting workouts.
I am kind of wiped out tonight. It has been a while since I have done both walking and weight lifting workouts on the same day, which is what I was doing daily before my knee problems started up.
It will take a bit to get back into things in full stride.
My pec deck arrived today. I was not expecting it until tomorrow. I will spend part of Friday putting it together. Hopefully that job will go smoothly. I will take a few photos if it after I have built it.

Slowly Getting back Into My Routine

I have been able to make slow but sure progress since my right knee surgery.
Last Thursday I was able to walk about 2 miles. Saturday I walked 4 miles and today, since it is cold, windy and damp out, I will try to ride my recumbent bicycle for a bit and see how many miles I can put on it.
I have to go back to my orthopedic doctor tomorrow morning. He will be taking the stitches out and how I am doing on my recovery.
I am planning on getting into my full workout routine on Wednesday...both my walking and weightlifting.
I ordered my pec deck a couple of days ago and it should be here in about 10 days or so.
I am looking forward to adding that piece of equipment into my workout routine.
