TSR BOOTCAMP, Numero Tres! - Let's Be Hot In 2011

Had a nice workout in the gym, spinning class was good today, they added in some Haloweeny type songs. The best one was when they played ghost busters and said you had to stand up for 4 seconds every time they said the word ghost. That was the most knackering one because we were keeping up a decent pace and standing/sitting every 10 seconds as well. And it's more fun trying to pick out a lyric in a song instead of just listening to the trainer...

Averaged 164 on the heart rate but i've realised that during the actual spinning class i'm averaging 170/180 it's just the warm up is too long and as i start the heart rate app just before the warm up it gets 5 minutes of my heart rate slowly coming up from around 100 to 160 which then kills my overall average...

Sounds good, how long have you been cycling?

I used to race offroad when i was about 5 till about 11 and then stopped apart from the odd cycle every few months.

Until the beginning of this summer.

Since then i've been out 2 or 3 times a week, although i've just moved to uni so am mostly in the gym instead of on the roads as i don't know the roads round here. In devon i could easily plan a nice route but i have no idea where i'm going round here...

Still go for the occasional cycle outside because it's more fun, and a lot of the time i need to use my bike just to get places a well if i'm too cheap to take the bus. And i can beat the bus into town if i'm in a rush...

Heyy

Welcome to the camp! Good luck with the goals!

Ah, got bored as a child is it?
Yeah, the gym can't be as fun. Although it's warmer there isnt much to really see haha! The outdoors feels much better nad plus you can find your way around if you cycle about the place .

I hate buses, I try to avoid them as much as possible . I may take my bike to uni next year so that I can save some money and everything. Seems a good idea

Nah, i enjoyed the racing but i got into kart racing so stopped racing the mountain bike...

And yea, i do like the cycling outdoors but it's good at the gym when it's pissing down with rain.

And it's more social at the gym as i've been going for a month now it seems i'm becoming a regular and recognising everyone in the classes.

Thank you

Bad time to start, half-term, when I have no PE classes and my ballet stops, as does my netball practice XD

But I still did some dance practice, crunches, reverse crunches and sit-ups today. So I have done something at least.

How's everyone's progress so far?

I feel bigger. Still early days though! How is your progress?

I had a personal training session (just as a one off kinda thing - but will check back in every month or two I think). It was really good. He set me up with a plan for doing a triathlon but to work on my strength and flexibility first because it's a while away... Felt like my abs were been ripped apart and my body was shaking during a lot of the exercises. Good stuff! The weights were challenging as well - was squatting with 12 kg in each hand which seemed quite heavy for example. Then once I was knackered from all this stuff, he made me do intervals on the treadmill but decided I wasn't knackered at 10 kph so put it up to 12. At which point I felt like throwing up, but I didn't and I finished the intervals.

Waw that was long, but I'm excited...

Same here Mine's not too good .. I'm exacerbating my problem by eating snacks throughout the day. It's exam week and I can't go out to exercise, and I have this hopeless habit of needing a chocolate cake or a chicken pie to get through the day.
