Recovery Run

Posted by: admin In: Running

Just did a quick 20 minute run today - couldnt face doing any weights or cross trainer. My Nike+ kit doesn’t seem to have recorded it which is a bit annoying but never mind.
Going for some lagers tonight for a friends birthday and then a nice relaxing day off tommorow.

I did find a new site called Gyminee which is similar to Skinnyr but more advanced so I signed and I’ll keep track of my weight there as well. This also lets you set a target weight which is [...]

Hope my back’s better for monday so [...]

High Intensity Workouts

Posted by: admin In: Fitness| Health

Its been a while since I worked out properly and forgot how much energy it gives you!
I see lots of people in the gym walking on the treadmill or going really slow on the Cross Trainers because they think this will put them in the “Fat Burning Zone” - it even states this on the [...]
