3rd day at gym, me n steph
tonight was our induction..(yeah, a** about face, but hey )
was bushed from last nights efforts.
(3 k running treadmill/3 k cycling and god knows what on the weird xtrainer thing..LoL
ooh..and several minutes on the rowing machine..liked that..really felt the bump up in the arms and shoulders.)
last night i got home early, had a quick nap, so was dragging myself to gym.
steph a bit more chipper about it.
Trainer was great..showed us all the machines (quiet) explained well, and made sense of purpose of the 3 xtrainer type things.
one is what i call the nordic skier..not sure i like that one..the other induces a skiing motion, very side to side..liked.
and the other was like rubbing your head while patting your belly..hard to get started, but liked that .
felt like walking in some 'superheroes suit' in some sci fi movies (think starwars)..felt the benefits of that one.
gent gave us form tips on the towing machine, currently my fav unit
then took us into the weights are.
some big A** machines i think i'll avoid for now.
so showed and goes on the arms machines, gave the bench press a go..(steels?)
and then tried to fathom how one of the leg curls worked with amusing results.
So all in..we are going to have the full hours induction next week, the chaps going to write a plan for us.
i have been aiming to to do 3 k cycle, 3k running and 1k x trainer..think i will now amend to set times, of lower power x2 mins, higher power by 1 mins then repeat, and just elongated times and reps..
i'll do same on the weights, take it steady then push on..been there, done that at 20/30..so i'm gonna go low then work back up.
so all in all a good night..aching and tired and had an early night
so up early today ..so got time to post in.
Cheers all.
travel well, the wind in london is pretty fierce today.
