Ongoing mission to fitness
Yes, I am neglecting my blogging. So what? Before the summer I didn't have a job, and not many past-times.
Now I have a job, I'm continuing going to judo, I've started going to Latin and Ballroom, and I've joined the mad crowd of LARPers.
Suffice to say that I am progressing slowly but steadily. I'm trying to attend Spin as well as Freestyle ( Read more... ) -
Gymming!

Gym log
Monday
Spin class - different instructor, the number of silly actions reduced!
10 min jog at 8 km/h
Muscle machines - increases in weights happened - I made a table for it, I might actually post it to help tracking
Tuesday
Woke up with achy knees - this time, both of them. Very annoying, especially as it took a few days to clear up. The gym instructor ( Read more... ) -

Monday
Boxercise class - not for my taste - not cardio enough to keep me constantly busy and full of adrenaline, not slow enough to keep me happy - won't go again
10 min on the treadmill - maybe not quite because I've randomly hit the emergency stop button at about 8 minutes or so.

Gym days 11 + 12
Wednesday
Spinning class was fab. Now that I actually figured out how to set it to challenge myself without going out of breath too quickly, I'm cycling pretty much through the whole class (45 min) - only the last sprint or two are a bit too much. The starting point for my exercise is 2 full turns from the bike's "zero", and all the stages - climbs ( Read more... ) -
Gym day 10
There's a class called Body Pump. I have asked about it earlier and was told it was quite challenging. So I avoided it because I didn't want to make a fool out of myself. But I had a free morning today and felt like a challenge - so I went. Turns out it's not that bad - mostly upper body muscle workout, biceps curls, triceps drops, chest presses ( Read more... ) -
Gym days 8 + 9
Spinning class yesterday was great - I actually did sweat quite a lot. I figured out that it pays of to have the resistance quite low, and do the tiniest of the increases when asked. What happened before is that I run out of breath before my muscles had a chance to protest. With the new method, I can stay "in breath" for longer, and I can do more ( Read more... ) -
Gym day 7
Possibly, given my number count, I'm nod going to the gym as much as I could ( Read more... )
