Ouch!

I have very sore muscles today - from (field) hockey training last night and then from Bodypump this morning. Guess it's all good for me!

Tomorrow I intend to get back on the treadmill and continue working my way back up to the 32 mins I was managing before my little break in routine. Last week, I managed 15 mins of intervals so I definitely need to work on my running. Tomorrow I will aim at 20 mins - depending on the state of my legs :-)

What's everyone else doing? Got a fitness plan for the weekend, or taking it easy after a busy week?

Overcoming urges

I really did not want to get out of bed this morning :0) But I did, and made it to the gym again. I did 30 mins on the x-trainer and then some weights - leg press, chin-ups and barbell rows. I need to work on my full-body rows everyday but the machine was busy all the time I was there. Tomorrow...

It's not too bad getting up early in the summer months when it's light outside but I hate it in the winter when it's cold and dark and my brain says it's the middle of the night. Any tips for solving this problem? I find that much as I hate mornings, it's better to get the exercise over and done with, otherwise I talk myself out of it during the day and just head home after work....lazy!

Back with a vengence!

After a few weeks break I got back to the gym this week. I organised a session with my personal trainer on Sunday and that really hurt a lot - in a good way :-) We did some weights and some circuits-type stuff, and some boxing. I like the boxing as it really gets my heart going. It's hard work though, especially when I'm already tired.

This morning I got back into the gym before work. I did 30 mins cycling (about 12km) and then some weights and core work. I am aching now though.

Gotta get back into the routine. As my PT said, I've spent far too much time and money on her to let things slide now!
