    *shrug* the speed was sitting about 17-18 most of the time. dont forget, this is only a cross trainer. no real resistance. youre just air running. put me on the ground and id be lucky to do 1 km at a run, i hate running. plus i had the resistance level set fairly low. ill bump that up more once i get my cardio levels up a bit again, so all its doing atm is getting the heart rate up.

    weekend and this morning same, same .... cept elliptical today and y/d instead of plain old walk. 21 minutes this time. ive decided i'll bump the tension up :roll:

    back at work next week - ill have to figure out how im going to fit all this in - i really really hate working out when i finish work, but i dont want to stop this again now that i am getting back into a routine. i guess i could do it extra early in the morn, but i like to just dag around with a coffee and a shower and sort of ease myself into the day, not leap out of bed and into action :roll:

    I have to get back on my treadmill tomorrow morning. I didn't do anything this past week and I notice I'm not able to sleep as well because of it.

    I have gained 5 lbs since I started working out 2 weeks ago... I've heard before that will happen during the first few weeks (not really sure why). But I have gone down a pant size as the fat/soft center slowly moves upward to become muscle.

    I feel so much better, sleep better, and remember why I used to work out religiously 5x a week!

    Does anyone do the "300" workout or similar? It is a short/intense full-body workout that is (or was, anyway) all the rage and apparently gets good results.

    its a little too much for me at the moment struggled to about 60 reps over 4 different excercises yesterday.

    todays workout for me was quite lame :o
    all i did was a 45 minute walk, as i am little sore in the back and shoulders from yesterday. Damm I am going to miss this when my PT leaves next week :cry:

    Yeah Ive done it about 10 times. I do
    * 25 chin ups
    * 50 deadlifts 60kg (I think from memory)
    * 50 push-ups
    * 50 box jumps- 24-inch box
    * 50 floor wipes (the easiest bit)
    * 50 clean & press 30kg (meant to be 40 but too hard
    * 25 more chin ups
    I remember the first time I did it about 3 years ago it took around 50mins. Pretty sure the last time I did it was around 28mins but I could be mixing that up with 'Filthy Fifties". Ill check when next at the gym


    Yesterday
    500m row
    10 dips
    10 box jumps 24"
    10 burpees
    Only 4 sets. Body still way outta shape
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
