Hmm, I’m not crazy about hitting the gym a little after 5 p.m. the place is s crowded. Today I had to do things in a different order – and I’m not pro enough to figure out if that’s good – and actually ended up with some of the cardio mixed into the machine work.

But I did my whole routine – and forgot to start my Polar that really astounds me.

I felt much better and stronger today, went about an hour after a breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, small slice of cantaloupe, 4 small saugsages, coffee with cream and 75 cl of water.

Didn't have that burnt out feeling in my legs a minute after I started the warm up and went through my plan fast an efficient.

Plus the place wasn't crowded.

Fiddled at bit with my work-out not content with the amount of weight work I do:


Warm up: 5 minutes walking at a speed of 4,5 km/h with a 10% inline

Lever Seated Leg Press: 2x12 70kg

So a lot more weights and a bit less cardio

Fiddled again. Doing double sets on Sunday was fine, but today it was after work, so I have a lot less in me – instead I did 3 sets of all machines. That feels very good – and with the 20 minutes of cardio – counting 2 minutes of warm down – it takes an hour. Perfect.

Am really pleased I got my as.. off the gym. TOM has just started and it’s a bit uncomfortable to waddle around with all the hygiene products in your gym clothes. I felt weak when I started out but I upped both my chest and shoulder press no problem. And I killed my best time for 1000 meter rowing so everything was fine.

Great day at the gym. I went about an hour after having my usual breakfast of two scrambled eggs, two slices of bacon, coffee with whipping cream and 75 cl water for my supplements.

I upped quite a few of the weights – the only ones where I don’t feel much progress is chest and shoulders. And then at the end of the weights I thought what the heck let me try running – and I did 3 minutes at a very slow pace, but I was running and I could have run more. That feels jolly good ;)

Ran for 10 minutes !!!!!
 

Another major breakthrough on the running – jogging – front. I ran 1 km at just under 10 minutes and felt great – I’ll never walk on the threadmill again my shuffling is so much more fun and leaves me feeling wonderful.
