New tech arrives
It arrived two days early. No complaint there. I figured it out, its quite clever. Well, it and the watch is. The watch uses the on-board HR sensor unless and activity is running, whereupon it will seek to use the external device. The new tech uses ECG technology rather than optical. The sensors are built […]
Saturday blast
Two parts to this. Clothing I encountered problems on Wednesday where I was getting cold in the legs. So I decided to go into town and find some long trousers. This didn’t exactly go to plan. In Sports Direct I discovered a brand called “Under Armour”, and really like it. So, as a result I […]
Got me some gear!
So I’m sat here this evening, feeling a bit sorry for myself, with the cold symptoms just under the surface. Then I remembered the problems I get with the watch and its HR sensor. I then remembered I had some Christmas pennies in Amazon. So I’ve gone and got me one of these. It’s a […]
A bad day
So, yesterday, as in Wednesday 29th, I went to the gym. Parts of me were saying this was a bad idea. I had a slight sore throat and I was beginning to feel feverish. I went anyway as I figured I might get warmed up and drive through it. How wrong was I? Trying out […]

So, as normal training was allowed (rather than high performance training) I did some reps with the barbell. Some rows, some curls and shoulder presses. The shoulder presses are my weakest exercise. I was […]

His treatment work set me on the course to building upper body strength and to adjust my posture accordingly. […]
Ouch!
So after a three day run of Gym sessions, I ended up with three days off. This evening I stopped that being four days. Don’t I know about it! Well, it was my fault for pushing the levels again. I shouldn’t compete with myself I know. Anyway, here’s what I managed. Exercise Level Reps Cross […]
