Heya CC - nice to hear from you. How're you finding the spin classes? I haven't been near the spin room in ages, but if they've picked-up the intensity and quality of the classes I might give it a go.

The last time I went, a couple of people in the row behind me were able to carry on a conversation comfortably through-out - not only was the workout too easy but the instructor let them get away with it :shrug:

Oooh that annoys the hell out of me. And it's just plain rude.

I've been a bit slack, with one thing and another lately, was a bit sick, then had another walking challenge (won another Logan Brown lunch - yippee!), but getting back into it again. Hubby's costume of choice for next year's Sevens involves a very short outfit on my part, so I forsee many visits to the spin room over the next few months :nod:

Thursday 13 Oct

0630 - cardio, hellish intensive kickboxing/ combat class. So freakin hard, forearms pumped and shoulders aching, putting a tie on sucked : :shock: :grin:

Nice work on the walking challenge - who says there's no such thing as a free lunch :grin:

Might see you in the spin room - I'll be the butterball in the back row :)

Friday 14 October

Went down to the gym, as you do... threw together some squats, culminating in 6x 3x 160 kg, and some bench.

Nice way to spend an arvo :) Plus, put some credits in the calorie bank for later... there will be cake - but no candles, do you KNOW how much heat that many throws out :pfft:

Just groovin along at the moment, today was more squats, including some nice deep doubles at 170kg... getting there, need to bring in a laser pointer for depth gauge LOL

Ooohh doubles at 170kg...deep is good :nod:

Like Vee says vid is a great tool for checking your form etc and if it all goes well you get to bragg a bit too :grin: :grin:

Monday 25 October

Should have been chest, but training partner wanted a work-out so I followed his script... which was mostly quads-and-hamstrings.

Finished squats with a single at 180kg, which would have been bodybuilder standard, but not three-whites. Happy just to have survived it after the build-up tho, and since nothing burst, we'll claim it.

Last of the day was seated hamstring curls, 1x 5x 119kg... which made getting down the stairs afterwards "interesting" :roll: :grin:

Precautionary post to stop me slipping to page 2 :)

Weds 26 Oct - some fun with training partner, managed some good squats at 180 and a semi-respectable 190, still feeling my way down into the hole.

Thurs 27 Oct - more cardio monkey

Friday 28 Oct - no training - work-day from hell... :madman:

Off to buy some Chucks.... and if anyone has a truly-effective set of hamstring stretches, I'm all ears :pray:
