PT1

First half hour session with the PT today. It was an "all body workout" apparently.  Some of the exercises I found hard.  Particulary the squat type ones.  Upper body is fine.  Exercises that require flexibility and core less so.   Still thats why Im working with a PT.

The hardest set for me to do today was an essential one for cyclists.  Basically you get in a press up position and then alternate bringing each leg forward.  I find that hard becasue I can't hold my weight.  The PT adjusted the exercise by adding a bit of height by using a box to put my hands on.  That at least made it possible for me to do the sets.

The PT alternated the sets.  So rather than doing 3 sets of the one exercise, moved between the sets.

It felt like a good half hour and maintain my confidence that it will work out.  I think the PT is still working out what my thresehold is, so maybe didn't push me 100 per cent.  That's probably wise, because a key thing is maintaing frequency in my workouts and being able to exercise 4-5 times a week at the gym and ride at the weekend. 

I finished with 11 mins rowing machine = 2km.  I'l  try to finish each wieght session with some cardio becasue that helps the fat burn.

Great being closer to the gym again - cuts out travel time.  Just need to to adjust to my new workplace.  eg today I didn't feel comfortable munching away at my desk after the gym so had a banana about 3 but not the ham and radishes I had until I got to the train about 5.15.  So just need to plan my eating a bit better.

Real nice having K lady on the same floor as me.  We are not in the same team, but will probably go to rpm together at least once or twice a week.

I'm pretty stuffed now - combintation of changing my gym programme and new work place, introductions - both taking me out of my comfort zone.  Ultimately this will be good though.
