Me working my biceps and forearms.
I went down the gym last night. No real surprise as I go down most nights. I am quite getting in to it and although I don't see any improvement in my body shape, I'm able to lift a lot more than I could when I first started. Take the bench press for example. When I started I was on the bar (which weights about 18kg). That was when I went for the first time. Now I have the bar and 17.5kg on each end. That is a big jump and I am quite impressed how far I have come. This is all part of my get fit regime. I know that I have to do more cardio though as I am still pretty fat. I will need to loose around 30kg to get down to my ideal weight so I have a bit to do.
This weekend I am going to find out about aerobics classes down at one of the gyms on Larapinta. If they are too expensive, I'll just have to get out walking, riding and swimming more. Each time I go to the gym I spend around 30 minutes doing cardio (treadmill, bike, stepper or rower) but I think should really do more. Last night when I went down the gym I set a new record for my 1500m row. Usually it takes about 7 and a half minutes to row going at a quickish pace. Last night was a very quickish pace as I did it in 6 minutes and 5 seconds. Now I just have to try and break that record next time I go.
