Gym and back

Image
  It's a gym day and rowing to start, I wasn't feeling as good as earlier in the week so only 3918 meters in 30 min.  On to dead lifts and 40kg working up to 60kg not to heavy.  Machine rows next and 42.5kg going up to 57kg. Rear delt flys starting at 50kg and going up to 57kg it was a struggle.  Lat pull downs and 42kg then up yo 57kg and some light ones at 35kg to finish.  Narrow cable rows working from 42kg up to 56kg and back down to 35kg to finish.  It was a nice work out and I really pushed hard and had to drop weights but pushed through. Have fun stay safe 👍

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was out for an afternoon walk, I made the most of the warm weather and after walking up Rowley path behind the golf club I extend it to go around Black Park Lake and tested myself to a mocha form the cafe.  It was 8 golf balls for today's trip not bad considering it's the end of November. I've started a new book and it's a Christmas release so I'll try to put up a bad review before Christmas! Have fun stay safe 👍

Leg day

Image
  It's back to the gym today after a rest yesterday. It was cross trainer to start on intervals level 15 good going only 1.45 km but 418 calories burned and some legs ready to go. On to hack squats and there was 15kg added to the machine I didn't realize until deep into it so it was 72kg dropping to 57kg.  Leg presses next and 50kg going up to 70 kg. Leg extensions 50kg going up to 65kg Leg curls 50kg up to 65kg.  It all felt ok and no notable problems. Have fun stay safe 👍

Afternoon of course work,

Image
  After an active day yesterday it's a bit more sedate this afternoon. I'd made an order on Amazon which was being delivered between 2-4 so I decided to stay in for it and work my way through some course work. Module 6 isn't due until December 22 but I've got half way through it this afternoon.  I'll attempt to finish it off on on Monday leaving just one more to go.  Have fun stay safe 👍

Quantum Of Menace, Vaseem Khan

Image
  It’s that time of year where publishers push their latest wears for Christmas. If you’re a fan of James Bond 007 you’ll know that there have been a number of books released with him as the lead character but written by modern authors.  This is the latest instalment of a book in the 007 universe and taking a slightly different view this time you’re following Q as he has to solve a number of challenges and problems.  It’s a really well written book and it’s a nice easy read too. You you’re into 007 James Bond it’s a good plot, well written and would be suitable for a teenager to read as there’s nothing rude or violent.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have funstat safe 👍

Afternoon hike

Image
  The weather was good so I wanted to get out for an afternoon hike. Around the estate first to collect the WeWards then up Rowley path to collect some golf balls 5 today.       I was asked to get a cinnamon bun on my travels so I extended my return walk to Sainsbury’s and Starbucks in Sainsburys. I was lucky as there was only one cinnamon bun left, I treated myself to a mocha and was horrified with the £8 price for a cake and coffee. What happened and wow inflation really hit since the last time I bought a coffee and a bun!  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
