Although this is only my second week at the gym, the combination of a regular work out and a healthier diet (cutting out the chocolate) seems to be working wonders! When I first started gym work I could do 10 reps of the 80kg leg press, with a goal of just being able to press the 124kg weight (twice my body weight) yet just one week on I accomplished my goal doing 10 reps with the 124, something I was not expecting!
It's not just weights I've been doing at the gym however and cardio work plays an important role as I'll need to be fighting fit for the Megavalanche! As such I've been hitting the treadmills, spin bikes and cross trainer! The cross trainer is a particularly miserable experience, as you sweat gallons of liquid onto the surrounding equipment, silently crying inside. Although not remotely enjoyable it is really good for cardio work outs and improving my general fitness, so the suffering is worth it!
All in all I'm a big fan of the gym, and plan to keep training right up until the Mega, hopefully peaking fitness just before then! Over and out for now.
