Gym Reflections part 3

I’m still going to the gym, although as I mentioned I’m giving organised classes a miss for a while. I’ve been a few times since my last post, and wanted to capture some of the things I’ve (re-)discovered. It’s much easier to focus on aerobic training if you use a Heart Rate Monitor When the gym is busy, [...]

No more Sources page

I’ve decided to retire the “Sources” page I put in place when I moved my blogroll off the front page. Although the page was dynamically updated by my then feed-reader (Bloglines), my account on there has lain dormant for some time, so the page has long-since ceased to be a current indication of the sources I [...]

Trying a gym class - BodyPump

As I mentioned on Saturday, I’m looking for ways to get more engaged with my fitness activities, and as my new gym offers a range of classes within the monthly membership fee, I thought I’d try out a couple.

New Gym, New Start

Over the years I’ve been an intermittent visitor to the halls of fitness. From a peak in my mid-twenties when I did a lot of cycling (including a season of pretending to race!) it’s been something of a long-term decline over the last two decades, punctuated by occasional interludes of pushing back up the hill for [...]
