Today the neck was still restricted for the roll to the right but it didn’t hurt. Looking in the mirror I could see I was asymmetric. The day went okay so I decided to either kill it or cure it. I went to the Gym. Exercise one –
| Exercise | level | reps |
| Cross trainer | 11 – 13 | 600 calories 74:46 |
My second 600 Cal exercise, the last one was completed in 75:03. 17 seconds quicker this time, but the load wasn’t quite as high. Pretty consistent then.
One exercise! Okay, here’s what happened. I had a compression top on, which works really well if you get hot. Once I’d finished I rested for a while, sat in this wet compression top. Not good, I chilled rapidly. So that’s why! So, back in the changing room, off with the top, towel off and put a normal tee shirt on. Then I changed from shorts to insulated longs. In doing so my calves started cramping. I’d lost too much heat. So I walked around for a while to warm them up under the insulation. Then decided to go back out and do some more exercises.
As I reached for the door handle I saw my watch. The cross trainers measurement of calorific burn seems low. The watch, plus HRM, calculated I was at 960 calories. Hold on, lets not go too mad here. So I decided to pack it in and walk home. This provided more entertainment as both calves started to get very solid so I walked gently until they started to warm.
Total result for the tech was 2:24:17, burning 1039 calories. A good return.
