So, back to the gym last night. I wanted to go earlier but a problem with the car delayed me. So I ended up leaving the house at 2200, returning at about 2300. The smart watch reveals the results. I am burning about 1000 calories a day more, since I started at the gym. Its not just the work at the gym, its the walk there and back also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another issue came to light last night when I decided it was time to investigate the scales. Bad news, I am nearly a stone too heavy. Okay, here’s a problem. We Brits seem to still use the imperial Stone \/ Pounds \/ Ounces. The watch wants pounds alone. The Gym wants Kilos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, where I want to be is –<\/p>\n\n\n\n So 70Kg is my target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This the result of last nights efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * Shoulder Press set to 20 was hard work for me. I managed 10 but I couldn’t have managed 11, it was that close. This is one I want to work on but I will hold these weight until it gets easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Low Row is the one that the Osteopath wants me to concentrate on and I am pleased with the progress here. I am not at my drive limit yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chest Press setting was at the limit as well, again I want to work in this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, back to the gym last night.
