Circuits

So it's Sunday morning and after a whole day of rest (that was very hard) I have woke at 06:00 (Jakson's fault). I tell Marie we need to do something so we both decide to try some circuits in our room. We chat about the logistics of the whole thing as we have both Keston & Jakson with us. We stick Jakson in the baby bouncer and put Spiderman on for Keston. Sorted..

So the circuits are basic but we both do 5 mins on each. They consist of;

Sprint on the bike (At least 2.5k in 5 mins)
Sit ups and press ups
Weights (Curls and lifts)

It all starts well, We use Marie's new Ab machine which is pretty poor but after a few sessions Marie works out the proper way to do it and we both feel the benefit. The weights were fun, I have loaded my dumbell with about 28lbs of weight. I'm know I lifted more than that in my gym days but it feels pretty heavy for me now, plus I don't have any more than that! :-) I have this exercise with the one dumbell where I do a curl and then lift above the head. I then take back down. I repeat this on both arms. By the 15th I was shaking but pushed it too hard. My neck was making funny clicking noises as I pushed it up. I think that might hurt tomorrow..? 30 mins of circuits.. Felt like I had done a workout, not sure. At least I did something. The whole thing was complete by 07:25.

Need to do lots more sit ups and press ups..
