Hooroo quietly getting fit
-
Was in the hotel gym yesterday and they had a single 'spin' bike so I set up ten songs in the ipod to play as if I was doing a class and I was wrapt with the result. Alternating slower and faster rockier songs by doing standing hills or downhill sprints! Was the most knackered I could get without actually being in a spin class.<br />
<br />
Nice to muck around with some heavier weights after too. I can only bicep curl 10kg at home as that is the max weight but I extend the reps. It was nice to be able to rock out three sets of 10 with the 15kg dumbells. -

If you haven't already get some kids dude, holding one in each arm while walking up a hill is "two tickets to the gun show" time. Aged one and nearly three but they are about the same weight ( younger one is already nicknamed Brad Thorn by my work colleagues ) -

Carry some weights instead. They tend not to whinge and ask for ice creams. -
[quote name='JK']Good shet mate. Remember you saying they were quite bland at first but they sure grow on ya![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yeah they were bland as I hadn't soaked them enough.<br />
<br />
I find that I make them and put them in the fridge and by the time I have had two cups of coffee, they are ready and yummy -
Bart is dead right, there's alot to be said for that slow rep stuff. It increases the time the muscle is under tension and really blasts it. Try doing a few 10 second up and down chin ups, ya crap out on those after a few reps and the guns feel like they're gonna explode.
