I really need to get back into the habit of writing these again. Makes it easier to see if I'm actually making any progress.

Started with 10mins on the X-trainer at level 2. Decided to start upping it every so often as I feel such a fraud struggling along on level 1 *sigh*

1000m on rower. Was going to do 2k but my ( Read more... )

Today spent 15mins on the cross trainer, followed it with 1000m on the rower and ended with another 10mins on the cross trainer. My ( Read more... )

Only did an easy session today as both my gym buddy and I were feeling tired!

My knee's still playing up so tried 10 mins on a bike instead of cross-trainer, that just resulted in a numb bum lol.

Full programme Monday. BooM!!!

Today was the first day of the training programme. *wibble*

Cross Trainer: First 10 minutes were okay, had my knee support on and this seemed to help :)
Floor Work: So... sit ups on the Swiss Ball is freaking HARD!!! Also 'Plank' is just one of the most random exercises in the world!!!
Treadmill: Actually managed ( Read more... )

Crappy session today. Not happy at all and cut it short. May have even cried a little. Feel weak even though I know I'm still not 100%

So, first proper session after a fortnight of galavanting and illness. Was a bit tough towards the end, I could feel that I hadn't done any real exercise for a while...

Managed the full 10mins on the cross-trainer with only minimal twinging in my knee. I'm not really liking this piece of equipment at the moment, ( Read more... )

I'm not going to go into details but I knocked another .05 seconds off my time on the treadmill... Now I'm scared that my programme will be changed and running involved O_O

Also managed 7 'proper' press ups yesterday so I'm well happy!

Spent time at the weekend flashing my newly forming muscles at my family hehe ( Read more... )

13.47mins *blinks* I have obviously had some excess energy and frustration to work off this week!!!! The Treadmill (and all machines) say to stop exercise if you feel pain, out of breath etc, I uh, would SO not complete 1.5k with my target of 3% incline and speed of 7 if I stopped as soon as I felt out of breath ( Read more... )
