Regular moderate exercise log

A half decent leg session but no swim, I had a sleeping hypo and a mini repeat mid morning and I've trended low all day so left the swim alone :) legs were the standard squats, extensions, curls and calf raises, I worked up to 115kg x 4 for my heaviest set of 6 sets, then up to the same for calf raises on the smith machine, that wiped any energy I had left out so went quite light on the extensions and curls, 5 sets each.
I'll be good at sitting down tonight I think :p

Hope you are ok tonight @kev-w? A sleeping hypo must be incredibly frightening.
 
Just about managed 10k steps today. Added 2x 15min bursts on the static bike and will do 10 mins core exercises before bed.

:) Aye, everything worked after a couple of hours once the docile feeling went , I'm a couple of months into a new basal (long acting) insulin, but need a little fine tuning I guess. :)
It's ironic that by changing from Lantus to Tresiba I've cut my hypo numbers, but am more likely to hypo at night, in some ways it's like going back in time 30 years although the old insulin hypos were a lot worse.
But anyway :)
 
Quite pleased that despite waking @3.30 and thereafter feeling pretty tired I will have got to 15k steps by end of the day. I would have done more steps and some other exercise if I had slept longer - <3,5 hrs apparently:arghh:
 
Hi all. Gorgeous weather in London. Got off work early and have ended the day with 22,169 steps. Happy with that.
 
Fridays swim was Lap Swimming Distance 1,325 m | Time 33:35 | Pace 2:28 min/100m, I thought I'd swum further but it appears not, all but the last length was breaststroke, then I went home for an hour before going back to do some random kettle bell and tricep work.
Shoulders tomorrow,
 
11k steps today, an hour’s rehab gym class ( cardio and resistance mostly), 15 mins on static bike ( which bought post lunch bg of 6.7 down to 5.2) and finally core exercises before bed just now. Goodnight all
 
Saturday shoulders for me, again making use of the kettle bells for one handed presses and bottoms up presses, dumb bell press was to 22kg as the other ones had tired me :) front and side raises up to 18lg which is 2kg heavier than last week, db shrugs, face pulls and trap rows.
Swimming at lunch without child tomorrow...
 
Not much exercise for me today as it was tipping down with rain most of it. 10k steps and 2 lots of 10 mins on the exercise bike.
I’m amazed at what you do @kev-w

Exercise works out to roughly an hour a day, so when you look at it like that it's not a lot, :) I'm a single bloke, don't drink. and have my youngest 5 - 6 nights a fortnight so it kind of 'works', when I was a single parent the kids went in the gym's crèche, and that worked too :) but for me as a T1 I find exercise essential if I want to eat as I do and it seems to help me with my diabetes (periods of inactivity coincide with poorer control) so I just keep going.

It is fun though :)
 
1600m swum, blood was a little high going in but the swim corrected things and so I thought I'd post up these 2 in a 'for example kind of thing, high sleeping (fast acting insulin faulty) pool at 10 to 1 with .5u correction and a rapid drop with the pool closing at 1.30 :) and my blood's sat thereabouts since.

I think you’re absolutely right about exercise and greater control. I find the same as a T2, when I’m being lazy the numbers just start going up.
It’s great that you’ve found something you enjoy too, thats half the battle really. I’ve been a lot better at it since I bought the exercise bike - I can watch some rubbish on Tv and tell myself it’s doing me good!
 
11k steps for me today. A 15 min hiit session on the static bike before breakfast. One and a quarter hr yoga class this evening. This was punishing tonight - a lot of ‘knee work’ and my legs feel like jelly now. Must be doing me good.
 
18,500 steps today including my first 5 mile run and without a single walk break. It took me an hour. I had a punnet of raspberries at 6pm before the run and the run beat the glucose giving me a 6.4 after the run, my lowest BG of the day. It climbed to 9.5 after chicken and the meat from inside a pork pie with creamy coffee. 15 mins on the rowing machine has pushed it down to 6.9.
Goodnight Peeps
 
An odd gym session for me yesterday, a standard warm up for around 25 minutes, dumb bell press to 36kg x3 then to the bench and a bar bell when my youngest turned up 1.2 hour earlier than expected so that was the end of that.
Which leaves me with the problem of do I count the session as done (<1/2 way) or do it again on a gym day off? Grrrrr :)
