I've been missing for a couple of days on here, time to catch up with some posts...

Finished with 10 minutes on the arm bike. Did a bit of leg work, just to see how the knees took it, but not enough to be worth recording at this time.
Blimey, I impressed myself accidentally at today's gym session. I went on the Pulldown machine and saw it was on 40kg already, so I started my reps. It seemed really hard going but I knew I could do 40kg and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me! Then I noticed it was on 60kg, not 40kg... Still, I went on to manage 5 reps at that weight before I went back to my usual weight.
Tachyon, I'm really enjoying reading about your eager and rejuvenated efforts to get back into your gym training. You're like man possessed with your new reports from this quality gym you've joined.
Your weights are increasing really well and I'm not surprised you found that 60kg lift difficult - but you managed it and that shows the remarkable durability of the human body. We don't give in. keep it going bud

Sorry I'm a little late here, Lindy, but I think Bratti hits the nail on the head to be honest. If you're wanting to train at home, DVDs are probably the best option. Perhaps buy yourself some small dumbbells, a mat and an inflatable ball too. Good luck there

I jogged 5 kilometres only, did my leg routine workout as well as worked out on 6 different machines. I took pics of the first 4 but forgot to take pics of the other 2. I got distracted while I was cleaning them but here is the equipment.
Tonight we are going out with friends to celebrate my birthday which is tomorrow.
I’m going to see a famous saxophonist with my brother.
Nice and steady with those weights, Bratti. Everything is moderation. Those 5-10lb weights will soon be 10-15lb weights, but remember it's not all about strength. Keeping oneself fit and well is the name of the game and those gym machines look like ideal pieces of apparatus to keep you in trim. Look at you skating...that's awesome and something I couldn't stand up five seconds doing!
Have a great birthday today and enjoy the band tonight
No training for me during the past couple of days, a well-earned rest was called for and my body has recovered very well. I'm feeling strong and fit, despite a few beers out with my pals yesterday afternoon on a rare Sunday off.
Back at the gym today if possible after a visit to my GP about that cough I still can't get rid of.
