I nearly didn’t go last night. I arrived and the car park was rammed full. Apparently there was some kind of conference on, after a quick call to Nigel who gave me permission from the management to abandon my car I did finally get in there.
Today on the Fitness Stu training plan was arm exercises.
Warm up on the rowing machine. Dull but brought my heart rate up from rest to 140bpm.
Concentrated curl on the cable machine. 3 sets of 15 reps at 2kgs. This is the exercise where I pull the cable across my body. This works the top of the bicep.
Triceps rope pull down. Again on the cable machine this time with the cable set at high level. 3 sets of 15 at 5kgs. This, as you have probably guessed works the muscles at the back of the arms.
Seated dumbbell curl. 3 sets of 15 at 7.5kgs. I have no problems at this weight now and am probably ready to increase the weight some more. This works the long muscles in the biceps.
Abdominal exercises.
Weighted crunch on the cable machine. 3 sets of 15 at 7kgs.
Sideways sit. 2 sets of 15 on each side.
Medicine ball sit. 2 sets of 15.
I have really taken to enjoying the cardio bit on the treadmill. I don’t know why. 30 minutes. The first 20 minutes I charged on at a new high speed of 7.5mph, increasing the incline by 1 every 5 minutes. With 10 minutes to go I dropped the elevation and speed to walking pace so that I could have a drink before winding it up to 8mph at an incline of 1 for the final few minutes.
The swimming pool was packed so for the first time ever, I didn’t go swimming after a session in the gym and went home.
