Back to the gym

Easter weekend and this damned cough have both contributed to me not going to the gym regularly over the last 2 weeks. I have been a total of 4 times this month!

Today I completed my regime without pushing myself too hard:

• Exercise bike - 10 minutes
• Step machine - 10 minutes
• Tread mill :
• 6.5km/h 2 minutes
• 9.5km/h 6 minutes
• 10.5km/h 6 minutes
• 11.5km/h 2 minutes
• Side step machine - 10 minutes
• Recline cycle - 10 minutes

I want to get my key reprogrammed soon because I want to increase the time I am running, and remove the side step machine. Although the side step machine is hard work and I can feel some benefit, no matter how hard (or not) I work it never goes above 100spm or 100 calories burned. I get no satisfaction from completing a work out on it. On top of that, I don't always get on it because it is a popular exercise with the ladies.

Today I weighed 75.5Kg (11 stone 13 pounds), which is superb considering the rich food (and chocolate) I ate over the Easter weekend! My target, incidently is 66Kg (10 stone 6 pounds).

I think I'll head out for a run tomorrow!
