Day 5 of 182

i've just been to the gym. was touch and go for awhile especially as i spent 30mins or so chit-chatting to Rosie when i got home from work. she did point out that i'd had an extensive jaw work out but i decided that i really should go and actually work out.

so...

Cycle:- level 7
2miles, in 7mins 46secs

Treadmill:- level 7.5 (eventually)
0.5km in 4mins 48secs

Xtrainer:- level 7 (i think)
0.54 miles in 7mins 8secs

not bad...

then i decided to just have a go on some of the machines
  • hip adduction 40lbs, number 5 - 15 reps
  • hip abduction 40lbs, number 2 - 15 reps
  • calf press 40lbs - 15 reps (twice)
  • arm curl - OMG
    • tried 40lbs - couldnt move the bloody thing,
    • 30lbs - managed 7 reps,
    • so ended up on 20lbs and managed 10 reps.
  • tricepts ext - 20lbs easy peasy lemon squeasy so did 30lbs, 15 reps (but not really sure if did it right - should probs have asked one of the staff to show me how its done)
  • abdominal - 40lbs, 15 reps
  • then did some stretches and lunges with a big bouncy red ball
  • then did some stretches on the mat
  • then went home and had supper.
should really do some uni work now but all i want to do is read my book.

Well that sounds like a pretty good work out. Think maybe you should ask someone to talk you through the weights etc. Don't want to go doing yourself a mischief!

You didn't meantion what you had for supper. I've just had 2 full fat sausages (nearly went for Joe's which are free but Mark doesn't like them and we had 5 full fat ones in the fridge to eat up) with mash (put a little milk and lurpak light in) topped of with bisto gravy and lashings of salt! Yum yum.

Now off to sprawl in front of the telly.

Keep up the good work.
