Rob's Gym Adventures: July 2010
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Monday, July 26, 2010. Monday 26th July – Monday session Week 3 - Tabata/Boxing. The last exercise was sitting up and punching, while your partner satup and blocked with the boxing mitt things. I struggled big time, but was rescued in the end by a coughing fit that I was genuinely concerned would turn into something a tad more gastric. It didn’t but it provided an unceremonious end to a really shitty session. Sunday, July 25, 2010. I’m quit...

Rob's Gym Adventures: Heart’s on fire
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/hearts-on-fire.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Heart’s on fire. Monday 30th August – Monday Session Week 8 – Kettlebells and Sandbags. 8220;There are about 60,000 thoughts that go through your head every single day.”. As soon as this guy opened his mouth I thought ‘this session is getting the ". Tag on my blog’. 8220;And 40,000 of those thoughts are about the past. Now, who here can control the past? And apparently the way to do that is to move shit around. 8221; I...

Rob's Gym Adventures: Catch up
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/catch-up.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. It’s only been a week since my last post, but it feels like it’s been quite a while (I was already behind on my last post, so I do have some catching up to do). So I have a couple of posts on the go. I will stick them up over the next couple of days. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As it turns out I didnt have to make a category out of burpees. I hope I dont have to make a category out of burpees.

Rob's Gym Adventures: When you don’t really need it
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/08/when-you-dont-really-need-it.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Sunday, August 29, 2010. When you don’t really need it. Monday 27th August – Monday Session Week 7 – Pump/Bar class. This is the start of the second half of this hellish program. Apparently we are going to be measured again. I have no feelings about this at all, as I believe that the measuring is at best slapdash and at worst rigged. Let me explain. When bullshit science woman. I’m not sure this is actually the case, but nonetheless, any me...

Rob's Gym Adventures: August 2010
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Shooting myself in the foot to spite my face. Sunday 29th August - Reflections before week 8 begins. Well we’re almost there. After tomorrow’s session there’s only be four more to go. I haven’t been re-weighed, but I suspect I haven’t changed (dodgy calibration aside). This is no surprise, as, let’s face it, I haven’t really tried. Tuesday: The stuff that I really worked the day before hurts even more. So after after the...

Rob's Gym Adventures: December 2010
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Monday, December 13, 2010. Much Overdue About Nothing. A belated and overly long wrap up. There’s a certain irony, given the overwhelming themes in this blog, that I had enough motivation to finish the 12 week gym program but not enough to finish writing the blog. But finish the gym I did. And so finish the blog I shall. When I posted last. Felt like it was doing me good). It simply was. Breakfasts remained excellent. One week, somewhere towa...

Rob's Gym Adventures: Look at me still talking when there’s science to do.
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/07/look-at-me-still-talking-when-theres.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Look at me still talking when there’s science to do. Thursday 15th July – Cellular Health Analysis. What she was doing was a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. Drink more water, have fish oil, eat more protein, eat less fat. Do cardio work (like spin! With a little bit of weights. So basically eat well and exercise. I am truly shocked. Coda: I asked Doctor Karl Kruszelnicki. July 20, 2010 at 1:27 PM. Were in for another asse...

Rob's Gym Adventures: …and don’t call me Shirley
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/08/and-dont-call-me-shirley.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Sunday, August 22, 2010. 8230;and don’t call me Shirley. Sunday 22nd August – Reflections before Week 7 begins. I am now, officially, halfway through this thing, whatever it is. What started as a reasonably well intentioned but poorly thought out “I should do something” whim, has turned into some bizarre self-testing blogging experiment. Kind of like “Supersize Me”, only where. I really really hate exercise. But having done five sessions I am now...

Rob's Gym Adventures: An introduction
http://robsgymadventures.blogspot.com/2010/07/introduction.html
A diary of a grown man's first adventure into a gymnasium. Saturday, July 17, 2010. A local gym has been offering a 12 week “Breakfast Club”. The basic deal is for a certain sum of money (quite reasonably priced), you get a 1 hour organised training session (7am Monday, solely with workmates) followed by a healthy breakfast at a nearby cafe. On top of that you get free access to the gym for the remainder of the week, including other scheduled sessions (open to any gym member) which happen over the week.
