Slowly getting a a zest for training coming back. Whether its the four or five days o multi vitamins starting to kick in or the raised calorie intake or the new found enthusiasm in weights who knows.
Did some rowing today only 1000 metres as a warm-up but checked my times and at 3m 34s was only 4 seconds outside of my previously recorded time which I was really pleased with.
Then I got down to some serious weights again. I am really trying to push the weight at the moment (for me at least), as I know a lot of you lift far heavier but I am runner and have a runners body!! Managed 4 sets x 10reps at 70kg for squats which I was pleased with as I have not done those in a long time. Did various other back, arm and shoulder workouts with another abs session in the middle.
Felt great afterwards.
Until tomorrow...

Hi Andrew, is that a rowing machine? I've been on those since I got back to Oz, they are awesome for cardio and back.

Hey Adam, Yes it is and you are correct, in fact in my opinion they give the bast full body cardio workout of any machines, they are awesome. Used to use them a lot more as I was trying to beat the gym record for 2000 metres but was just outside!!
Take care...
Hey Suzette,
It's not so much getting back into it as I have not really stopped but I have some not great things going on at the moment and it is very easy to use those as a barrier for not woorking out.
Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it.
Take care...
