This week I couldn't get back on my workout schedule. Or I didn't get back on my workout schedule.
Either way I had a flipping sweet meal on Monday night with some good friends that I don't get to see enough.
On Tuesday I had to work in the evening.
On Wednesday I did go to the gym with another friend I don't get to see enough. This time we used the super posh Vale Hotel:
The gym was excellent - loads of lovely machines! I'm not usually a fan of weight machines (I think free weights are the future!) but my friend convinced me to try a set on the Adductor:

and on the Abductor:
We started with 35kg (I think) and did 10 reps.
Then 40kg and 10 more reps,
then 45 kg and 10 more reps.
In the beginning I thought it was going to be too easy, by the end I was squeezing with all my might! I still feel it today. I'm thinking about designing myself a machine circuit because I have a feeling machines are easier to do alone - I always feel a bit unmotivated to do free weights by myself.
We did a couple of pull ups and some other bar work, and then 5 minutes of stomach circuits with 45 seconds on and 15 seconds off of the following:
Crunches
Side Crunches
Leg lifts
Planks
Hip lifts
Someday soon I'll to return to The Vale and use the steam room and sauna, and maybe even try a class! It's a really nice gym, just a shame it's so far from my house!
