becbec's road to recovery

[Mr_Krabs]

And just remember that beautiful concept of muscle memory, it wont be as hard to get that weight back as it was to build it in the first place :nod:

[becbec]

Will probably ease back into working out with some light swimming/soaking/saunaing

Then probably weights a few times a week

[becbec]

Cardio

8 minutes biking

had to stop cause heart rate wouldn't go down

Squats

I'm sure it wont take to long to get your strength back chick.

Just had a look on your bodyspace, can't believe how quick you got good width on your back! :shock: sooooo jealous

Yup :x

My normal dosage normally sits around 15mg though, I still get that lump on the back of my neck and puffy cheeks at that dose (due to water retention) and high blood sugar, but no increased appetite, headaches or stuffed up blood pressure like i'm getting at the moment

20 mins moderate pace on bike (HR 160-170bpm)

PM

30 mins HIIT bike (HR 150-180bpm)

My secret is a long black 15 minutes beforehand and something to distract you from the lameness of it eg The Simpsons

Stupid knees are sore today so I didn't do as much cardio as I would have liked to :x

AM

20 mins moderate pace on bike

PM

30 mins HIIT on bike

Good news:
