Got to the gym this morning by threatening myself, but it was good once there.
Duration 0:56:05
Number of Heart Beats 7020 beats
Recovery -10 beats
Minimum Heart Rate 93 bpm
Average Heart Rate 125 bpm
Maximum Heart Rate 172 bpm
Standard Deviation 18.9 bpm
Distance 2.2 km
We did the usual circuit setup - 2 x weights machines, cardio session, machines, cardio, etc.
The first blip is five stair runs.
The second is a run around the block of industrial units that the gym is in.
The third is five runs up the steep sandy slope between the gym and the freeway. (The huge spike is when the pod came off my shoe…)
The fourth is another run around the building.
The fifth is 100 punches into the pads, run 30mx2 to the wall and back, 100 punches, run back to the wall, break (hold pads), 100 punches and the run.
Then inside to do a few situps, bum-lifts, bicycling and a plank.
VERY tired after that.
And I suspect we’ve got a lot more of this outside work coming up as we head into summer. The good news is that when we do that, we do weights in the Red Room (Nautilus gear). I love that room.
Woah. Went to the gym today and walked in after the morning rush to find I was just in time for one of the new fitness classes.
There were only two of us there, so it was nice and cosy.
But really really hard.
One bloke had the gloves on, one had the pads.
30 cross punches at shoulder height
10 seconds of running on the spot, knees hitting the pads which had been dropped to just below waist level
x4
Switch gloves/pads
30 uppercuts (”moved those hips!”)
10 squats
x4
Switch gloves/pads
30 cross punches at shoulder height
10 seconds of stepping up and down off a Reebok stepclass thingie (low)
x4
Switch gloves/pads
Then, the killer.
10 cross punches at shoulder height
Run down the stairs
Run backup the stairs, taking 2 stairs at a time
1 pushup
20 cross punches at shoulder height
Run down the stairs
Run backup the stairs, taking 2 stairs at a time
2 pushups
30 cross punches at shoulder height
Run down the stairs
Run backup the stairs, taking 2 stairs at a time
3 pushups
40 cross punches at shoulder height
Run down the stairs
Run backup the stairs, taking 2 stairs at a time
4 pushups
50 cross punches at shoulder height
Run down the stairs
Run backup the stairs, taking 2 stairs at a time
5 pushups
I got into the 50 in the last, got through 15, then had to stop, as I was EXTREMELY close to throwing up. Leaned on the wall for a couple of minutes, but couldn’t go on. Sat down, drank more, didn’t chuck.
Looked at the HR monitor - peak HR was 211
I just started laughing and when I told the instructor, who was horrified, and I’ve promised to set the HRM to beep when I hit 180BPM.

Recovery 20 beats
Minimum Heart Rate 98 bpm
Average Heart Rate 137 bpm
Maximum Heart Rate 173 bpm
Standard Deviation 16.7 bpm
As can be seen, I forgot to turn the HRM off at the end of tennis and didn’t remember until I was part of the way home. I don’t know if it’s possible to edit - the Polar site/manual/help is atrocious. As bad as the unit is good, pretty much.

Interesting - I was riding into the easterly on the way there, and that can be seen in both the time (2 minutes less to get home) and energy expenditure. As can be seen from the graphs, the hilly bit is right near home
Hopefully get to the gym this arvo.
