Christian Ainley my day to day

  After having a rest yesterday it was back to the gym today, I’ll be honest I was in two minds as I drove there from work but once I was in the car park I committed to it.  It was cross trainer to start in intervals level 15, after 30 mins it was 353 calories and 1.53km it felt good and I was glad I’d come to the gym. It was on to triceps a as the cable machine was free that’s where I started. The rope was already on so that’s where I started.  Rope pull downs to start with 20kg going up to 28.5kg. Overhead pulls next with 23kg up to 32kg  Bar pull downs next and starting at 20kg going up to 28kg. On to the triceps machine next and starting with 50kg going up to 57kg. Some weight bars to finish 17.5kg and 20kg until failure. It was a really good session and I feel better for going .  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  It’s a walking day today so I got home and changed before heading out. I walked around the estate and collected my missing WeWards before heading up Gallions path. I finished listening to Damien Lewis escapes three, if you like one and two the three is pretty much the same., I think the series is up to six now !  It was 5 golf balls today no premium ones though, the weather was good and the mud isn’t as bad as it was a few weeks ago. It’s always nice to get some fresh air and I’ve started a new book on Audible so look out for that review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  It’s a return to the gym today and it was biceps with rowing to start. It was 3679 metres on the rowing machine not much but it got the blood flowing.  On to curls on the machine starting low with 20kg going up to 35kg.  It was preacher next and starting with 32kg going up to 37kg. Cable curls and starting low on 22kg then up to 27.5kg. Preacher on the machine and 15kg to 25kg.  Bar curls next and starting low with 17.5kg then 20kg to finish and failure.  It was a good session and I got through a lot, not the highest weight but I’m working on it.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  I was ten years old when the first gulf war happened, like most ten year olds the fast jets, tanks and missiles were fascinating and I’d watch the news reports and scan the pictures in the newspapers an learn all I could about them.  On the back of that conflict there came a new type of book to the fore, “Bravo Two Zero” by Andy McNab and “The One That Got Away” by Chris Ryan launched the S.A.S book as a way to be a best selling author and in the 35 years since that conflict there have been lots of them. Some of the stories are funny and entertaining while others are sad a tell of former soldiers who struggled to cope when their time had past.  Damien Lewis is the best author to cover British special forces operations and goes to great lengths to research his books and with fantastic writing skills he takes you to the heart of operations and escapes. This is obviously the second book in a successful of books and the first escape is a modern one inspired by the first boo...

  It’s my second rest day and it was a slightly shorter walk today, as it’s spring we decided to walk round to the memorial gardens and photograph some of the flowers. It’s early spring so there was only a small selection to shoot. It was nice to get out with the slr camera and get some real boca with the pictures.  In total it was 6.5 miles and some nice photos, I was a bit disappointed that stoke poges golf course club house is under renovation I had a great shot planned but there’ll be another time.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  After resting yesterday, today it was out for a walk. From Slough to Windsor and the long walk the in to McDonalds for a Friends meal and a Joey figure. Only Monica and Rachel to go !  I popped to Sainsbury’s to get some treats for the evening and then relaxed on the sofa. It’s been a nice day.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
