Fitness and gym related notes

Blissfully knackered but a soak in a Radox bath does wonders   

About an hour of CV stuff followed by a selection of muscle tone contraptions. I finally see the point of mind-numbing TV; no mental engagement required whilst you're pounding the cross-trainer 

I hope I can keep this up; I need to

Me too is knackered and have just soaked for ages in the tub.

Haven't been since last Sunday and need to start going at least 3 times a week . So had a bit of energy .

Did a 10k run in 57 mins    and then 10 miles on the bike.....a few stretches to finish and then a sauna as my poorly limbs were in shock

So was there much to keep you distracted in there ?

Did you encounter any Growler changing room issues ?

[Pastis]

Distraction?    I spent most of all the time following all the onscreen data and trying to figure out whether I was doing what I'd agreed to in the programme session yesterday 
The gym section has only been open a week or two and is heaving with all the latest kit as far as I can see. Perhaps when I get the hang of them I can plug-in, download my results, watch the telly, listen to something other than the ubiquitous KissFM 

Changing rooms are pristine and deserted  . No issues other than deciding whether I use my padlock or a £1 coin 
I will post a pic in due course; they really are that empty 

Oh, some wumman was cycling next to me; she was pedalling away with her elbows rested on the handlebars whilst flicking through a clothing catalogue ... is this normal?   

[Nick]

For wimmin, yes 

[Miss Demeanour]

Not just for wimmin ...some bloke in there today had his Kindle rested on the screen of the bike and was scrolling away and pedalling away. Sweat must have been dripping all over it 

Also people that bring their mobiles into the gym and then have conversations whilst on machinery ...again mainly blokes , but I think that's cos they are in there for hours

All the hotels here have Gyms in.................I cannot understand why people come on holiday then spend all day in the gym ........

[Pastis]

Oooh, does that mean I can post on the VP from the cross-trainer?   Nah. Forget it. I'd probably fall off 

[Miss Demeanour]

Unless you have a voice activated iPhone 4S ....but it may struggle if you are a little out of breath 

[Nick]

We are used to heavy breathing here
