Had another good session with more improvements. The machine to do my arm exercises is still out of order.
What was brilliant was that I jogged for 4 minutes on the tread mill.
My previous high was 90 seconds. That 5 minutes is not so far away now.
Started off by doing 2 of the weight machines. Time taken 10 minutes
Abductor - 4 slow sets of 20 at 40 kg -
Up 5 kg
Leg Press - 4 slow sets of 20 at 140 kg -
Up 10 kg
Rotex - 6 mins at level 5 at 120 - 130 cps
I did 45 minutes on the treadmill as follows:
5 min at 4.6 kph
5 min at 4.8 kph
5 min at 5.0 kph
5 min at 4.2 with -5% gradient
5 min at 4.4 with -5% gradient
5 min at 4.4 kph
- Up 0.2 kph
10 min at 3.8 with 6% gradient -
up 1% gradient
5 min at 3.8
I wore my heart monitor for the treadmill and rotex. It said I had an average heart rate of ??bpm, was above 112 bpm for ? minutes and used 305 calories. Unfortunately my watch switched itself on again, so I lost the stored information.
