Friday 4th September 2009

20:10 - 21:05 session at Lanark gym...

- 5 minutes warm up (walking at 5k) plus stretches
- 11 minutes on the treadmill (started at 8.5k, then up to 9k, then down to 8.0k - but only 1.5k at run for 10 minutes ? up to 1.6k after 1 minute of walking at 6k to cool down)
- 2 sets of 15 on the machine that works your stomach muscles (must learn the names of these things !)
- 2 sets of 15 on the free-weights-simulator-machine (like doing free weights only sitting down ;)
- 5 minutes on the cross trainer, plus a minute going backwards, plus a minute forwards to cool down (covered about 0.5k on this...)
- 2 sets of 15 on each of the leg exercising machines
- 11 minutes on the bikes (split between an upright bike I just couldn't get adjusted properly, and a reclining bike - covered about 6k between the two machines)

phewwww... had the cardio room and weights room to myself, so could really have had a go on the rowing machine and made an a**e of it without anyone noticing - but the machines that exercise your legs really seemed to take it out of me without me noticing until I had a go on the bikes ! It'll probably take a few trips to work out what the best combination of exercises for me will be - might use one of the remaining bits of the induction to arrange a programme ... how organised !?!?!?!
