Hi TheEd
Last few days...
22 March
Wow - I hadn't been this achy for ages! X-trainer definitely stresses different muscles to running - outside of calves and thighs achy. Rested and did some stretching.
23 March
15 mins on cycle machine, Av HR 139, 193 cals. I've always found cycle machines difficult, hams were burning after 15 mins despite fairly easy setting! I'll have to build this up gradually!
Also 30 mins on step machine, av HR 143, 405 cals. Felt a bit more aerobic than the cycling but much easier on the legs.
24 March
Varied body weight workout, also using 5L bottles of water as weights including putting several in a suitcase for some squats! Included press ups, dips, rows, shoulder raises, sit ups, "cycle" crunches.
Also 45 mins on cross-trainer, Av HR 144, 612 cals. Felt easier today.
Contemplating going to the underground car park in our apartment building and running around it like a mad person tomorrow!
Keep safe everyone!
cheers
