Gym action
This evening I went to the gym in my first visit to start to restore the work I had begun some two plus years ago. Further more I did not go alone as Holly joined me. My work included 300 Calories on the Cross Trainer, one that seemed to work properly. This took the best […]
Reviving the GYM project
Yesterday evening I resumed my program of visiting the Gym. The last visit was in November 2021, upon which the rise of the Omicron threat made me think this wasn’t such a smart idea. To be fair I could have gone back earlier but I didn’t feel I was up to the experience. Now that […]
Gym 2021
I’ve not posted about the Gym for a very long time, like the 10th March 2020, just before my world was thrown into chaos. However I have been back, several times. According to my records I started back on the 28th April. Crickey was it that far back that Gyms were allowed to operate again? […]
Lock Down
My work at the gym has take a serious knock following Dad’s death. I was hoping to get myself back up and running again. But then COVID-19 turned up the heat and the Gym closed. Tonight the country enters a three week lock down, well partial lock down anyway. So, as a result I will […]
400 more
Another visit to the gym last night and another 400 calories on the cross trainer. 799 calories recorded by the tech in 01:57:35. It was a wet old night so I got rather wet. First time not taking the bag. Not a great idea but so was taking the bag in the rain. Quite busy. […]
Attempting another high burn
I went to the gym last night and hit the cross trainer once more. This ended up with 800 calories burnt in 1:;3537:46, which is 8.18 calories per minute. The tech recorded 1220 calories in 2:35:14. I wonder how long I will be able to visit the gym, given that this Covid:19 is now in […]
Trying to continue the run
I went to the gym this evening. I decided on a different approach, rather than sitting on the cross trainer. As I said, I get on the thing and can’t get off. So, instead, I went on the rowing machine, did some weights and then went on the cross trainer. This wasn’t a great success. […]
Might be getting silly
Saturday night at the Gym. I don’t have a plan as such. The first thing is the cross trainer to warm up. The problem is I don’t seem to be getting off. So, this time I burnt – 1000 Calories in 2:03:03 Needless to say I did nothing else. Here’s the proof – So, apart […]
