Fri 5th April
I made it to the gym for a workout after work, definitely harder to work out at the gym after work, but glad I did it. The gym has just extended it's Friday closing time, so if I am on an early shift I can still make it.
Warmed up on Xtrainer
Plank x2 sets of 45secs
Treadmill completed 3.5km, but at the 3km point I checked to see what the time was and it was another PB for me, 23:22, beat previous time by 11 seconds. Jogged throughout, I didn't walk any of it this time round. The whole 3.5km took 27:33secs.
Walked another 8mins then cooled down
Session 1hr 10mins, 569cals burnt.

Next week, I'll increase it to 4km on days I'm not doing any resistance training.

On Friday, I walked an extra 30mins and also booked a personal training session. Today was pretty quiet not much activity despite helping out at a communal garden for a couple of hours, ended up eating any calories burnt in the form of the organizer's homemade ginger cake and sugary tea and I don't even take sugar! Anyway, when I got home I did 30mins jogging on the Wii to make up for it. Only 7909 steps today... not very much.
