Assessing Day 2

Well there was no soreness from the few weights i did yesterday or the rowing machine which surprised me a little. Sooooo this means i can and need to be doing heavier weights and more reps. Today i had another session on the cross trainer (i can't wait until my battered feet are better and i can put more impact on them and run again!!) and did a few weights:

Am:

* 30 minutes cross trainer, up to level 13 and 10x10-15sec sprints every minute for 10 min. I kept up a fairly constant 29km/hr (650 calories and 13.5km)

* Weights - 3x15 chest presses, 3x15 back pulls and 4x10 knee extensions all on 40kg again

* 10 minutes on the rowing machine level 2

* 5 minute cross trainer cool down

I tackled my abs after and did a trial of 20 crunches, 20 side crunches, 10 push ups on feet holding for a few seconds upon lowering, 20 toe crunches, 20 lower ab/leg crunches, a flying static hold for a minute and a plank for 2 minutes.

The plank was precisely 2 minutes and 20 seconds to the some 'Defining Gravity' which i thought was a good theme!

Pm: 45 minutes walk

Meals:

Breakfast - muesli with milk and honey and a green tea

Morning snack - 3/4 scoop protein powder

Lunch - chicken Caesar salad

Afternoon - apple and orange

Dinner - Stir-fry and a handful of nuts and dates

Supper - green tea and piece of dark chocolate

My official weigh in was 53.4kg - I am still ina healthy weight range for my height and while i would like to lose some body fat mass my aim is to swap it for muscle mass and tone up to become leaner as well as fitter! No weights for tomorrow though, it hasn't been strenuous but rest is still vitally important! I must buy some more protein powder too :)
