Rowing machine. 5 minutes. I thought I would try and make the rowing machine a bit more interesting by making a note of how many metres it claims I will have covered in the 5 minutes and then trying to beat that distance each time. Sadly, I have forgotten how far I went. I know it was a little over 1000 metres.

Chest exercises but without the pectoral fly machine as it was still broken.

Dumbbell bench press. 12kgs. 3 sets of 15. Is tough at the 9th rep but all three sets were done to completion.

Dumbbell shoulder press. 3 sets of 15 at 10kgs. I was supposed to do this exercise today and chose a weight I can actually lift this time out. All three sets to completion.

Twisted sit ups. 2 sets of 20 on each side. Twisting my body to the right I get some good crunches going but I can’t seem to get it right on the left had side and end up struggling.

Situps with the medicine ball. 1 set of 20. Stomach crunching over, I was feeling the pain by now.

Cardio time. I was heading back to the treadmill. I programmed in 30 minutes at 7.2mph. I increased the elevation a couple of times and managed about 15 minutes of running before my left ankle began to throb again. I aborted save doing myself some stupid injury.

Cardio was finished with 30 minutes solid swimming.
