Friday fitness

A sucessful mission on Friday. Managed the full 15 minutes on the rowing machine, though I did set the dificulty level to "wimp". I was breifly interupted by Nigel who was working and came down to see how I was getting on, but the secret seems to be my own music pumped into my ears and a bottle of water on standby. Managed to get just over 3000 metres in the 15 minutes, I don't know if that is good or bad but it is a target for me to try and better next time out.

No problem with the weights, and I worked through all of my sets without too much hastle. Though I couldn't find my exercise card so I had to guess the weights, and a couple of times I put waaaay to much weight on the pin. (quickly adjusted after I ruptured various blood vessels.)

I managed (eventualy after the kids finished their swimming lessons) to get about half an hour of solid swimming in also. If and when we capsize, I will be ready.

Again, very pleased with my efforts, and this morning I can feel pretty much my whole body aching, so must be doing someting. Though weighing in on the Wii I still have exactly the same body weight and mass. I suppose it would be more of a surprise if it had changed after one week of working out.

Back to the gym on Sunday. Nigel finishes work at 3 so will join me then. After that I am going to try and win a Kayak for Nigel on a last minute swoop on Ebay.
