Becky away this week and Ann took her class. We have had her once before and she has been the best substitute we have had.

A busy session and was quite puffed at the end, so was glad to relax in the spa.

Aiming to go again tomorrow morning. Booked in for next Saturday.

Decided to go to aquafit again today with Lisa. Had a good session. Found one muscle in my right leg that hurt from yesterdays gardening! Did not feel so puffed at the end as I did yesterday, but still worked hard. Nice to relax in the spa afterwards.

Booked in for next Sunday.

Don't think I've been to the gym on a Wednesday before. Did not really want to go and found it hard work. Did 5 of the 9 exercises.

My heart monitor said that I exercised for around 60 minutes and was in the zone, above 112 bpm, for 25 minutes using 170 calories.

Treadmill - 10 minutes at 4.5 kph and 0% gradient

Abductor machine did 15 reps, twice fast, at 40 kg
Abductor machine did 20 reps, twice slow, at 40 kg

Leg press did 20 reps, two sets slow at 140 kg
Leg press did 20 reps, two sets fast at 140 kg

Using a body pump bar with 12 kg of weights
Chest flies (overhead raises) - did 20 reps, twice as singles
Chest flies (overhead raises) - did 20 reps, twice slow (count of 2 up and 2 down)

Treadmill - 15 minutes at 3.0 kph and 11% gradient

Really pleased tonight. It was the first time since 2 January that I have been able to use 5/7 kg weights throughout.

I used 5 kg weights throughout and increased them to 7Kg on the chest and bicep track. I used hand weights for the squat and shoulder track - 1.5 kg each.

We did quite a few new tracks tonight. Felt fine afterwards. Realy pleased.

Booked in for next week.

Becky still away this week and Chris took her class. She is not very good and we have had her before. We did quite a bit, but rather repetitive. Will write one of the comment forms up about her lack of variety and also not being able to cope with someone different in the class. I never feel included and she unintentionally does things that discriminate against me. Relaxed in the spa afterwards.

Aiming to go again tomorrow morning. Booked in for next Saturday.

For the second week in a row went to aquafit on Sunday as well. Had a good session. Nice to relax in the spa afterwards.

Booked in for next Sunday, but will think about whether to go or not as Robin will be taking the class.

Did not get to the gym on Tuesday as I felt very tired and had an early night.

As last week I used 5 kg weights throughout and increased them to 7Kg on the chest and bicep track. I used hand weights for the squat and shoulder track - 1.5 kg each.

Used the new CD tonight, so more new tracks. Got quite hot during the session, but felt fine afterwards.

Can not go next week as I'll be in Vienna.

Becky was back today - great.

Had a good session, really worked hard. Felt tired when I went, but managed OK. Relaxed in the spa afterwards.

Aiming to go again tomorrow morning - Robin is taking the class. Booked in for next Saturday.

For the third week in a row went to aquafit on Sunday as well. Had an OK session, Robin took the class. Not very keen on the circuits he does. Not that good a work out. Nice to relax in the spa afterwards.

Not going next week as it is Church Parade.

Did not really want to go to the gym this evening, but it was results day, so went to be weighed and measured. Have lost 6 kg since I last was weighed at the start of November, thats about a stone. My measurements were not down that much, so that was disappointing.

Did not wear my heart monitor. Only did the treadmill. Was tired and my brain was preocuppied with going to Austria tomorrow.

Treadmill - 10 minutes at 4.5 kph and 0% gradient

...but the good news is that you went and you made progress...keep it up, you are moving in the right direction! You can do it!

Had a good session, really worked hard. Got quite huffy puffy half way through. Relaxed in the spa afterwards.

Booked in for next Saturday. Can not go tomorrow - Church Parade.

Did not go to the gym on Tuesday, was too exhaused after pressure washing the drive and patio for 6 hours. That was a lot of exercise.

Did not go to Body Pump on Thursday as I was still recovering from Tuesday and felt quite tired, so had an early night.

Had a good session, really worked hard. Got quite huffy puffy half way through. Relaxed in the spa afterwards. Becky said she will be away for 4 weeks after next week, so that will be a shame, back at the end of May. I wonder who will take her place?

Can't go next week as will be in Copenhagen. Booked in for tomorrow.

Lisa was back today. Missed last weeks class due to Church Parade. Had a good workout. Not quite so energetic as Becky. Nice to relax in the spa afterwards.

Can't go next week as am in Copenhagen.

Well the last time I got to body pump was 27th March. So a 4 week gap since I last went. Whoops! Mind you could not have gone before.

Kept the weights a little lower this week. Started with 5 kg weights for the warm up and chest track and then used 4 kg for the rest of the tracks. I used hand weights for the squat and shoulder track - 1.5 kg each.

Considering how long it has been since I last went I felt pretty good throughout.

Booked in for next week.
