Hard gym session on TENERIFE.

Wednesday 25 March.

 

It was a rest day today after yesterday's walk except for me going to the gym. I didn't rush but watched 'Breakfast TV' then worked on a crossword until 10 am when I left. Moira wasn't going out with me even for a short walk having done enough yesterday. She washed the sofa and cushion covers in preparation of cleaning up the flat before we leave next week.

 

It was a bit cloudy again and the wind that was blowing was chilly as I walked up to the gym. I decided that today would be another using average weights with long reps. This is what I did -

 

Today's Gym:

 

Leg extensions: 4x20 reps 25kg

Hamstring curls: 4x20 reps 20kg

Leg press horizontal m/c: 4x20 reps 25kg

Lat pull down: 4x20 reps 35kg

Crunches: 5x30 reps

Tricep pull downs with rope: 4x20 reps 25kg

Bicep curls on cable column: 4x20 reps 2x10kg

Leg press inclined m/c: 4x25 reps 50kg

Splits m/c: 4x20 reps 40kg

Kneeling dumbbell one sided raise: 4x20 reps each side 10kg

Preacher curl m/c: 4x20 reps 20 kg

Arm side raise m/c: 4x20 reps 15kg

Chest press m/c: 4x20 reps 20kg

 

It was a very hard session and I probably was using too big a weight for the number of reps for some of the exercises. On the arms and chest exercises I was feeling sore afterwards and a bit nauseous. I was still suffering on the walk back and didn't fully recover until I was relaxing on the sofa with a cup of coffee.

 

I listened to the radio during lunch which we had inside it being too cold out on the veranda. Later I worked on my diary and blog for yesterday's walk and after getting the photographs incorporated I posted it. I completed the crossword I started this morning except for a couple of clues that were impossible to figure out even when I checked the results in this morning's edition of the 'Telegraph'.

 

After dinner and the quizzes it was another poor evening of TV. I put the recorder on again and we watched one of the 'Larkrise to Candleford' series and one from 'Mash'. We had seen them both before but they were very good and we thoroughly enjoyed a second viewing.
