Decided I need to step up my fitness in preparation for lugging a backpack around my wee back, and hiking up mountains such as:
and Perhaps after the year, I might have developed back and shoulder muscles I never knew I had. So, this morning, seeing as it was too windy and stormy to go for a run (my friend Ieuan is a fairweather runner!), I decided to spend 30 minutes this morning doing lunges, squats, weights and other painful exercises.
The regime, which I plan to continue, went something like this:
- 2 minutes marching to raise heart rate and blood flow
- 3 minutes lunges
- 4 x 15 second squats
- 5 minutes weights
- 10 backwards pressups (is that a thing? I used the window sill)
- 10 normal pressups (NOT the girlie ones)
- 25 second plank
- 50 sit ups
- 5 minutes weights
- 4 x 15 second squats
with some breaks in between to breathe!
As I write this at 9:30pm, the wind and rain are battering my windows, so a repeat of today might be on the cards....
