Something new

Things are going much easier this week at the gym. Today I did back training again. I'm still struggling with chin-ups, probably because of the weight that I gained over the festive season. I can only manage to do about 3 sets of 16 reps before I fall on my face!

I like to incorporate exercises like chin-ups, pull-ups and push-ups into my weight training programs, mainly because I have to perform some of them in the fitness tests that I'm obligated to do since I joined the Military. The next test is also just around the corner so I'll have to start getting my fitness levels up.

I thought that it would be nice to put some humor into my boring blog, so I'll try to end each entry with something to think/smile about. Since I went to the doctor last week I'll start with this one:
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Little Wonder

I finished this weeks weight training with back exercises. I was supposed to do back yesterday but just didn't get time to go to the gym. Had a good session this morning.

I actually gained a bit of weight in the last month, which is strange because I always lose weight when I'm not active. I now weigh 86.6kg(190lbs). We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

Looking forward to next weeks weight training. It should be much easier and I'll be able to go heavier than this week. The stiffness will also be less.

I should probably mention that my wife Alicia is pregnant!!! We went to the Doctor for our first sonar yesterday. It still feel quite unreal! a Baby will definitely have a huge influence on my daily routine, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

It's been awhile!

Hi there!

It's been awhile since I posted something on my blog. I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and when I returned my computer acted up again. But I'm back now and has fully recovered from my surgery.

I've been doing some weight training since Monday. Man, it's an uphill battle when you've been taking it slow at the gym for nearly two months! My muscles are SO stiff, I'm walking around like an old man!

I started with a new weight training program on Monday and will probably stay on it for another 5 or 6 weeks. I can't even bench press half of what I used to a couple of months ago. But I'll get there. After all Rome wasn't built in one day.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers!
