Enjoyed the gym

R and I went to the gym last night after I got out of work. I did 20 mins rower, 10 mins step, 15 mins treadmill and 10 mins rower again. Then in the evening I did 2 hours line dancing!
Saw my friend Sue in the gym, she was going to the Salsa class.

Went to the gym again YES AGAIN today and did
10 mins rower
10 mins cross trainer
10 mins rower again
10 minutes cross trainer again and
15 mins treadmill
Then R and I had lunch at the gym - they have a fab cafe, very reasonable prices. It overlooks the gym so we scoffed food and watched people getting fit. I was very good and had a plain chicken salad (was gonna have cheese salad but figgured that was more fattening?)
R and I agreed that one of the gym instructors is rather cute (too old for her and too young for me - ah well)!

Induction Day

Today (after I took R to school) I hopped on the bus and went to the gym. I had the 2nd half of my induction today. Firstly I went on the recumberant bike (easier than upright bike) but only managed 6 minutes on it (my legs were killing me). Howdo people spend so long on them. Kept glancing round to see if anyone could see how badly I was doing.

I had to keep one eye on the clock as I had my induction at 10.30am with Mike. Then when a treadmill was free I went on one of these and did 20 minutes at 5.2 mph (yippeeee fast walking for me). Was quite pleased with how I did on treadmill but how on earth did that only burn about 85 calories?????? My heart rate was at 140 bpm. I do not think I am very fit.

After the treadmill I went to the downstairs gym and was shown 4 of the resistence machines and how to do the 'plank' and some back extensions. Then I went on the treadmill again for 30 minutes - then I decided to go home.

I am planning on going the the gym tomorrow with R after school. Usually we do the row machine, the cross trainer, then she does the resistence machines (now I can do mine which are near hers) and then back to the cardio for a short time. We then go in the pool for a time.

(Starting heart rate about 100 - it's always high - does this mean I am mega unfit?????)Tomorrow (or later tonight) I will do my measurements.
