Gym-Member again & Fitness Check #3

So, after our move out of the big city into a little one and after getting everything more or less settled, it was time for me to join a new gym.

I’ve been a member at my old gym for about 2,5 years, the last time I’ve been to it was in August 2015 and I joined the new one in beginning of December 2015. So that have been three months with no sports at all and I was really missing all the machines, lifting weights and the smell of sweat 🙂

My belly is still quite big, I’m not sure if it’s from the pregnancy or from the c-section or from the weight I put on while being pregnant.

My plan for the first eight weeks:

15-20 x 53kg leg press
15-20 x 30kg abductor
15-20 x 15kg row
15-20 x 15kg chest press
15-20 x “back sit-ups”
15-20 x 25kg carcass-turning
45 minutes jogging on the treadmill or cross trainer

It feels so good to go to the gym again, also if some of my gym pants are so tight. At least they fit.

Plus I had a Fitness Check which didn’t turn out bad at all.
It shows my

body fat 11,0 kg
right leg fat: 2,8 kg
right leg muscle: 6,4 kg
left leg fat: 2,8 kg
left leg muscle: 6,1 kg
right arm fat: 0,5 kg
right arm muscle: 1,8 kg
left arm fat: 0,5 kg
left arm muscle: 1,7 kg
carcass fat: 4,5 kg
carcass muscle: 22 kg

We’ll see how this all develops the next weeks and months.

My BMI at the moment is at 20.

I try to work out on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, seeing my boyfriend can watch our son then. Unfortunately the gym doesn’t have a child care but till now it works out just fine without. Let’s see how things work out 🙂

75km Mountainbike Tour

And now it’s 8:15pm and I’m sooo tired but happy!
My Mom’s in London having a blast with her best friend so I drove out to my Dad today.

My dad biked towards me and I met him after about 21km 🙂

40,3km
2:11 hours
722 cal
Average Speed: 18.3 km/h

35,31km
1:52 hours
781 cal
Average Speed: 19 km/h

I left in the morning at 9:20, met my dad at around 10:30, arrived home home at aroung 11:45. The afternoon I spent laying in the sun and I left for my home again at around 4:45pm.

It was a very good day, nice sunny and warm (yet windy) and I can’t wait to get my good night’s sleep!

Climbing Adventures

Climbing park in Garmisch.
It was so scary – it was so high and shaky!

Coming down 🙂
Great experience, you lose your fear of hights when you do more and more because you have to concentrate so much on NOT FALLING!

Crossfit #1

Today I completed my first Crossfit session. It was good, it was hard, it was fun!

I was so nervous so I forgot to take photos of the inside – I took the ones above when I left the building, thought I’d catch the flair of it 🙂

We started out with some theory and did some warm ups after. Then we split into three groups, my group (three men and me) were responsible for the burpees build-up, the other two for the squat kettlebells, group three for the kettlebell swing.

We got trained on how to perform those excercises and then we made three rounds, each excercise one minute and after the three minutes of:

1 Min. Burpees with Box Jumps

1 Min. Squats and

1 Min. Kettlebell Swings

we made a 1 Min. break.

In the end I was so happy to be in the “Burpee-Starter” group because those were the hardest. The jump on the box – oh my! My heart rate reached the 90% border. It was good and fun though and I might get a time card for 10 times.

Wonderful Public Holiday

Today is a public holiday here which means no work *yay* 🙂
After the Boyfriend and I slept in we sat on the couch, surfed and had coffee. Then we cleaned the apartment (good teamwork) and after that we went biking with a stop at a Biergarten to have beer and Obatzter.

It was a lovely tour, the weather was great, not too warm and not too cold.

We got home at around 4pm, had a cup of coffee again on the balcony and at around 6pm I went for a short run of 5km.

I stretched and showered after, we had a lovely dinner and now we’re watching a chick-movie – “the proposal” with Sandra Bullock while it’s getting darker and darker outside seeing a big storm is coming.

Ah how I love awesome days like this 🙂

Run #5 – 10km #2

Got a little lost in the forest but at least I got the 10km complete. I tried to run at a good heartrate which made my run 1h 12min long. Took the route next to the highway and was surprised to see no fence nor trees between the highway and the path I was running.
I couldn’t quite manage to keep the heartrate I wanted. It was higher. Maybe I’ll run 5km next time again or get a trainingplan from the internet on how to run 10km.
There are so many websites on jogging, but now the weather is rainy and cold again and I’m a sunny-warm-weather jogger 🙂
