Oh oh... I'm joining this thread LOL!
First up I need to admit that I ate a whole block of chocolate today... which has wiped out any results from my whole week of exercise, I know I know. (my excuse is PMS, cause I really only do this once a month, or less!)
At the moment though I seem to be making it to gym about 5 days per week, for about an hour each time. I am way too disorganised to make any classes, but am hoping to get there in time for Pump on Friday.
Otherwise I have just been doing my own cardio workout, plus the MedX weights machines (2 or 3 times per week).
Thanks to some constructive advice I have read on other posts of yours CQ, I am swapping and changing the cardio equipment I use. Throwing in 2km of rowing every few days (even though I hate rowing!), and alternating between the treadclimber (my favourite!), the crosstrainer, and the elliptical crosstrainer (?).
I have also started doing more interval training (is that what you call it?). So I will do block of 3 mins with high resistance and as fast as I can, then 3 mins at an easier resistance and pace to bring my HR back down. Sometimes the blocks are 4mins of hard:2 mins of easy, but it depends what machine I'm using & how buggered I am feeling!
I really need to get myself a HR monitor.... bugger... so thats why I went to the shops today! (couldn't remember why when I got there... baby brain much?)
Holy cow CQ, that is a massive day!! I am in awe, and a bit jealous! (though theres no way I could sustain that much exercise in 1 day!). I bet you will sleep really well tonight
That is exciting about the 12 week challenge - I read a few of your posts about it from earlier in this thread!
Sorry bx, missed your post - I really hope the new thyroxine dose helps you with your energy levels.
