i like to add the hydropool and sauna into my training. sadly i don't have access.

 

That's a shame, no other gym you can goto?

I love my hydro and sauna at the end of the workout, really relaxes your muscles after a good session!

Tuesday 8th March - feel good factor

 

I'm not a morning person, so i've decided to start each work day with a some crunches and pushups... after a protein shake, cup of earl gray tea and a banana...

 

Abdominal Crunches

75

 

Push Ups

50

-- surprising how pumped your chest feels after these

 

Will workup to 100 of each first thing in the mornings, I hope.

Skipped the gym last night, combined lack of sleep night before and champions league between Tottenham & AC Milan in HD swung the deal to veg out...

80

-- same again this morning, burned like hell

 

Push Ups

60

Saturday 12th March - Fun Fun Fun exercise

 

http://www.awesomewalls.co.uk/Liverpool.html

 

Can't believe it's been six weeks since my introduction to Awesome walls.

 

Made some good progress today, learned to keep my body closer to the wall and stop poking my fat arse out.

 

Fear of heights kicked in when I got over certain heights and was applying chalk to my sweaty palms every couple of feet

 

Good work out on my hands and forearms though

I really want to try indoor rock climbing but I'm such a whimp when it comes to heights, I feel like I would get 2 metres up and start freaking out or something.

 

Go for it!!!

I'm terrified of heights and that's why i'm going climbing, to overcome the fear. Only been twice, on the smaller walls say 7 metre I feel ok but on the larger walls, 14 metre I get above half way and panic, my palms get sweaty so constantly chalking them. But the satisfaction you get when you reach the top is great and one little step forward to overcoming the fear.
