Greetings guys and gals and here's hoping that 2024 finds you well.
So I have decided to post my workouts and suchlike for the simple reason that it's easy to do, it keeps me motivated and it should provide inspiration for all you aging muffin tops to think about your health and fitness. After all I'm 60, obese, unfit and prefer to spend hours on the sofa eating Pringles and watching Netflix.
So after nearly 7 weeks away from anything resembling a healthy lifestyle it's time to do something to redress the situation.
Mon 29. 01. 24 LEG SESSION
Warm Up, 3 min walk. 3 min cross-trainer
Leg Press, 2 sets of 8 reps. 2 sets of 6 reps. 2 sets of 4 reps - weight increase each set
Hack Squat, 2 sets of 8 reps. 2 sets of 6 reps - weight increase after 2nd set and 3rd set
Leg Extentions, 4 sets of 10 reps - weight increase each set
Leg Curls, 4 sets of 10 reps - weight increase each set
Hip Adduction, 4 sets of 8 reps - constant weight
Hip Abduction, 4 sets of 8 reps - constant weight
Wall Sits, 4 x 45 seconds - 2 with bodyweight 2 with a weight plate.
A steady rather than heavy session to ease back into gym life and it felt good to feel the muscles doing what they were designed to do. I kept my weights manageable so that at the end of each set I wasn't at failure and probably had another 3 reps in the bank.
Cardio day tomorrow.
