Sunday’s are for rest…..or not. On Sunday’s we work ‘n walk
Usually Sunday’s are days of rest. But not today. Today I’ve walked most of the day, a good 11000steps so far, and it’s not even 5pm yet. I suspect I might end up nearing the 13K mark. I don’t know what it is but weekends are supposed to be for winding down after the stresses…

Walking and step count
Todays a public holiday here, so on top of gym not being open, no one would be there anyway. But normally that doesn’t stop me from doing some exercises on my bench here at home. Except today, I walked, I walked a lot. Like almost 13k steps a lot. And on top of walking, I…

Keep moving forward
Yesterday I fell asleep after 10 but before I fell asleep I checked my steps on my watch and it read 11650 and that got me thinking. I’ve already said that the goal step count for many people should be to reach 10k, that’s like the healthy goal to have become walking often helps a…

Last gym sesh for the year
Well today I had my last session for the year and it was a really good one. Very tough as usual. But that’s how I like it and wouldn’t have it another way. I love going hard at the gym, that lactic acid burn in the muscles just feels so good. I did mostly the…

What’s the correct exercise period?

No going to gym today (unfortunately)
I’m very sad to report that I can’t get to go to the gym today as I seem to have hurt my ankle yesterday while I was doing some photography. These things happen in our everyday life, we’re all busy people with lots going on. We need to look after ourselves, so when something comes…

Drenched in sweat after an intense workout
I love it. I love the feeling of working out hard and getting that sweat out as a reward for the hard work. That’s how you know you’ve worked hard, if you’re sweating or not. No sweat = haven’t worked out hard enough. And my session earlier today was a really great sweat sesh. I…

Step count and feeling good.
I love getting my step count up. The thing about getting your steps up is it always makes you feel better. And what also helps with that is lifting some weights and exercises. Like today, I wasn’t feeling particularly down but decided to do some exercises and lift weights and felt so much better afterwards.…

Intense leg day
I love exercising, but some routines get you more than others. Particularly leg days, like today. I had this really intense one today. My calves, quads and glutes were on fire. The thing that really gets me set up for a great workout is that 10 minute warm up session on the static bike. If…

Back from a holiday and gym was intense
I’ve been away since Friday, camping in the Kruger national park. I had such a great weekend and saw so many animals. Throughout my weekend I made sure to get lots of protein in but couldn’t really do any exercise, unfortunately. But made up for it at my gym session today. This morning was a…
