Had a great morning session at the gym today, broke the 10km and 700+ cal mark for the first time. Got to admit it's hard work but I'm enjoying it and feeling great. Hopefully at Monday's weigh-in I'll complete my first stone lost, another benefit has been my blood pressure dropping by five points and of course my BMI although still far too high is coming down, that's down two points which is good. No sign of the 'turkey neck' yet but then there is still a lot there! lol.
19/03/2011 cycles 6km, rowing 1.8km, treadmill 0.8km = 8.6km
14/04/2011 cycles 7.2km, rowing 2.1km, treadmill 0.91km = 10.3km
That's probably about as high as the results will go(maybe an extra 0.5km on the treadmill and the same rowing) as it's all cardio work so the next step is to increase the resistance on the cycles and up the pace on the treadmill but at the same time keeping the heart rate at a level of about 144 bpm otherwise lights flash and warnings appear on the screen plus it's only 12 mins per exercise (10 min exercise + 2 min cool down) Can't wait to see where I'll be results wise in another ten weeks when the course ends :-)
well done Dad, keep it going!
