Was a productive week, kept up the pace and still enjoying the exercise and jogging routine. Endorphin highs are a nice plus.

^ what weights did you use?
And what are lat pull downs? Are you walking off a chair and just dropping and not pulling yourself back up? (Walking the plank), which is a good way to build those muscles up until you have the strength to do pull ups.
I used a machine for a lot of them and the machine just has numbers (1 to 20) rather than the actual weights. I know roughly the weights for the bench presses but my PR agent advises me not to tell anyone. He thinks it might make me look like a little girl.![]()
None of the weights were heavy. I'm not that fit at the moment and I was doing quite high reps so that rules out heavy weights. For the leg presses, I started off at 6 on the scale and worked up to 10. For the lats stuff (pull downs and rows), it was all at level 6.

I don't go to the gym regularly, Chitty. Just now and again, and it's usually an all over body workout. I don't keep a written record, just a rough mental note but I adjust the weights to how I feel each time anyway and if I feel fitter and stronger, I'll increase the weights but I never do heavy weights and low reps.
Gonna try Fitness First today. No pool I hear. Don't like it already...![]()
This will get me a red from Lazy Ray Reach Around Carey but what the hell. First day off in a few months so got out and hit it early.. Before 9am
raycarey pushes the remote buttons for exercise..
Nice wee 10km stroll before dinner.
Here's a nice tip for ya.....
Terminal 21 opened in Pattaya on Friday just gone, I looked at a thread on the other channel and some poster mentioned it being a great place to get his step count up
I thought that was genius, walking around airconned shopping malls and perving at chicks to keep in trim.
