X-trainer - 15mins, level 3. No idea what the speed was as I had my jacket over that part of the machine so I wouldn't be tempted to check my heart rate. Managed the full 15mins with minimal ache *grins*

Floor work - 10s 'Wall chair', 15 sit ups, 30s plank. I did 3 reps of sit ups though it was really hurting by ( Read more... )

20mins on the X-trainer, did level 3 at a speed of 10 for most of it. I was pretty chuffed with myself and made a point not to see what my HR was...

After that we spent about 10 mins doing floor work and weights. I've finally learnt how to count and ( Read more... )

I really need to get back into the habit of writing these again. Makes it easier to see if I'm actually making any progress.

Started with 10mins on the X-trainer at level 2. Decided to start upping it every so often as I feel such a fraud struggling along on level 1 *sigh*

Only did an easy session today as both my gym buddy and I were feeling tired!

My knee's still playing up so tried 10 mins on a bike instead of cross-trainer, that just resulted in a numb bum lol.

Full programme Monday. BooM!!!
