Back in the gym

I got back in the gym yesterday after missing two whole weeks due to illness. I’m still not 100% but I couldn’t wait any longer.

Good back workout, but my body is punishing me for having taken a two week break.

Here’s to staying healthy!

Sick again!

I’ve gotten the flu, after having two colds earlier in the year. I need used to get sick and now it seems to be happening all at once despite me being in the best shape of my life and eating healthy.

The only things that have changed are:
- I go to the gym a lot more, potentially getting more exposure to germs.
- I leave everything at the gym three times a week, exhausting my body and potentially weakening my immune system.
- I have unfortunately not been sleeping more to make up for the additional strain on my body, potentially weakening my immune system.

Have anyone else noticed an increased incidence of illness since starting training seriously?

I know i should sleep more, but how do you deal with the germs at the gym?

Squash tonight

And I won 3-1!

Tomorrow: legs. Leg press, leg curls and leg extensions. And maybe I’ll throw in som calf raises for good measure.

Tennis Sunday

I had the last tennis lesson of the course this morning and now I have to wait six weeks before it starts up again. Six weeks, which gives me plenty of time to practice! I just started getting the serve under control, which with my already decent forehand, backhand and volley means I’m ready to rally.

The progress I’ve made since January has been incredible. It’s great to pick up a new sport and improving so quickly. And tennis is going to be great for sunny summer days in the park :)

New personal best! By almost a whole minute!

Resistance training is starting to have a large impact on my cardio. I’m loving it.

Small victories :D

Weekend roundup

As the weekend is drawing to a close it’s time for a round-up:
-90 minutes of squash on Saturday, followed by a lunch that turned into a massive party.
-Sunday: an hour tennis lesson in the morning, gym (lats; triceps; lower back), and another hour of tennis in the afternoon.

Combined with amazing wearher, omelettes, peanut butter, quark and large amounts of protein powder it’s been a near-perfect weekend :D

Sunmer’s here!
