Day three down.

I'm starting to see what this is all about, I think. Yesterday I pushed myself so hard I could barely walk out of the gym, but after 15 minutes on the couch I was mostly back to normal.

The training programme is 10 reps x 3 sets. Chest press, 20 kg, then leg press, 90 kg, lower back, 30 kg, total abdominal trainer 40 kg, and pull downs, 35 kg. Mum lifts lighter weights. She's older, but also much smaller than me, and I don't just mean around the middle, I have like a head on her, height-wise and am much broader in the shoulders and hips.

But we're BOTH hanging in there!!!

I'm more surprised about me, actually, I've never gone this long just weight-training! Having her there to spur me on and to try to impress, is making all the difference.
