Promo Code JAN2018
free single day pass
Just booked it in, didn't have to give bank details, not sure how the land lies there, I know where it is, so I will probably jog there, see what they've got, and hopefully let rip on an eliptical cross trainer if they have one. |
It's good, busy as fuck in the evening. There's a new gym that's opened up on Interchange retail part that's not as quite as good so Mrs WTH reckons.
Depends what you want from it really, The Gym has a good free weights and functional section. Rowers, tradmills, cross trainers, spin bikes, loads of machines, half a dozen cable stations, two squat racks and a couple of power stations.
It should get a little quieter now as the new year new me lot will stop going. ____________________ My Flickr |

However after a days off roading yesterday, I skipped my work out last night, and won't run today.
Hoping this evening to do 100+ press ups across 5 unequal sets with 90sec rest, amongst other things. Eating properly again, and getting fit.
Disappointed that my fitness test on the gymgroup cross trainer came back as average. Lots of work to do |
I'm doing the 100 push up challenge app and the 25 pull up app.
Currently up to the following sets after 3 weeks of doing the app:
Set 1: 22
Set 2: 30
Set 3: 22
Set 4: 24
Set 5: 30
I'm stuck at this point - can't complete it without muscle fatigue stopping me. The app is really good for progression though. However it gets hard quite quickly after week 3.
Pull ups I'm up to: 3, 2, 2, 2, 2.... just about managing this.
Going to increase exercises to include dips and running and sit ups. Starting to feel good from just this. I think progressive building works for me, rather than going 100mph off the bat. ____________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. |

I'm noticing my gym has calmed down a bit already. Still awful Mon/Tues but the rest of the week and weekend are getting more tolerable.
Rotator cuff is mostly healed, I'm not going to be aiming for any new PRs on push movements for a while though. |

Park run today, got in just under 25mins.
Some positives from that, it's gate time,not chip time (sort of), so it was a few seconds before I crossed the start line, and a crowded start - and I don't like running on the mud, so more of stroll for the first 400meters or so too. Also, it's the fastest Park Run I've done without a pace maker.
So... whilst I'd still struggle to get a sub 23min, I think I can do sub 25 easily now, in theory.
Also, I get that Park Run is in a public park, and we need to share the paths, and honestly I really don't mind slowing right down to get past some non-participants, especially if they are minding their own business and don't know about Park Run.
But....... what is with the 2 or 3 people I see week in, week out, power walking, or jogging going in the opposite direction? They must do it on purpose, what gives I wonder? |

And I tried some gym equipments for the first time. I noticed gym equipment is better for my neck than press up on the floor. |
do you press chess to the floor and try and look straight ahead, slightly up, when you do press ups? |
When I do press up on the floor, I usually look down on the floor.
It was ok in the past but now I have pain in my neck(due to a bit of hernia), I've been avoiding doing press-up. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

Well done, keep it up, quitting and staying quitted gets easier with time.
Today I ran 10 miles in one hour thirty six minute, bit slow but had to carefully navigate some icy sections in places (burned aprox 1,360kcal) and just stuffed my face with some cake
i plan to run three or four times a week, and every week on my long run keep nudging the distance up, to half marathon distance and beyond, park run once a week, small run mid week, the fourth run will be whatever I feel - but will probably start replacing with bicycle rides once the evenings get a bit longer |

Went training yesterday.
Had a light start and then a f*ck off bout with one of the lads.
Much sweating and heart thumping.
Finished with some more light training.
Got home and found no injuries , yay! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

weightlifting is falling by the way side, push ups slacking, doing too much running and cycling
still its a health and fitness thread, not just a fitness thread, just getting out in the sunshine and having fun
today I ran to and from park run, and pace maked my wife around the course.
gentler run for me, 10k in total, but was suprisingly sore, I guess the big cycle on Thursday slowed down my overall recovery?
Seriously tempted to join a cycling club.
More interested in cycling than green laning right now. What's happening to me, is there a cure? |
