Exercise overload

[dorukai]

Umm.

So, those of you who know me well remember that I'm not sporty at _all_. I've generally been very sedentary, aside from the cross country skiing in Winter in Norway, and some cycling before I moved to Sydney (i.e. 6 years ago).

It should therefore really surprise you to find that my exercise going forward is looking to be:

That is really cool to be working for a company that encourages excercise!

Yes! I was super impressed.

WOOT! Even though you forgot the 0 in my name :) PSFG is my favourite project and i can't wait to boost up the project with summer coming. it makes such a difference when your company is onboard - my company gives us subsidised health insurance (like $80 a month for mega cover, 90% coverage of extras! $700 worth of extras! $300 optical!) and also pays for half our fees/uniforms for any sports teams.

OMG BASKETBALL!!! the king of sports! warm up, take heaps of fish oil and see a physio if you start hurting a bit to get the right exercises etc. there are some days when my joints feel a million years old though...but hot damn I love bball.

free weights will give you so much more benefits than using machines. stick at it and get someone to help on technique so you don't throw your whole back out! :)

*grumbles* Fixed :P

Wow, I thought MY company was committed, though I guess they also spend money on other stuff, games allowance, loads of free food at work (free bacon on Mondays, woo).

I loved basketball when I used to play, but fuck it was hell on my knees. Will see how I go.

I'm getting ample benefit from machines, though having to stabilise the free weights is an interesting additional bit of work. I'm going to try it out a bit more and see if I prefer it.

Man, I am hurting today! Worked my back pretty hard, I haven't felt this sort in ages.

But, my biceps are huuuge. Win.
