my first workout

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Morning everyone.

Just letting you all know how my first workout went. Enjoyed it on friday, really helps if you have written down infront of you what you are doing! Saves time wandering about and getting bored!

I only did 16 sets on chest - Incline bench (4 sets), flat dumbell press (4 sets), incline flyes (4 sets) followed by burning out press ups (4 very hard sets).

Then i did 8 sets on biceps - 4 sets of barbell curls followed by 4 sets of hammer curls.

I managed to do it all in under an hour which is really streamlining for me! I wrote down all my weights and reps as well, so can get straight into it next time. This regime is going to last for 4 weeks then i change it slightly.

I didn’t think i had done that much but when i woke on sunday ( 2 days after) my chest was killing! A bizarre self satisfying pain ( you guys out there know what i mean, you are killing but it’s great cos you feel like you have really worked your muscles and you feel pumped).

Cycled to work again this morning. Trying to put the bike in a really high gear all the way to get the lactic acid in the legs. Ends up a pretty tiring cycle that way and helps to work my legs. Since starting to cycle to work about 5 weeks ago my girlfriend mentioned the other night she thought my legs had grown and they were more toned! RESULT!

Looking forward to tonight’s workout… gunna smash it in! will let you know what i do.

Right,

here we go… I am starting a new routine tonight, sat at work finishing up so i can go and pump. Got the workout out off a website so am going to see if i think it’s any good. It lasts for 8 weeks so that should take me pretty much up to my hols.

Will write after my session tonight and tell you if it was any good.

Speak soon everyone.

New thousand mile socks promotion

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Launching today we’ve got a web only promotion on one of our most popular running socks - for one month only.

 

It goes a little something like this …

 

Buy a 3 pack of the 1000 mile Ultimate Performance Sock for a special price of £19.99

 

They should normally be £24 - so that’s £4 saving.

 

The ultimate sock is one of 1000 miles bestsellers - they’re made from wool ultra - which is light helps manage sweat, they’ve got the comfortable padded areas in key contact zones and they also help reduce blisters

 

Well worth a go and at this price - they’re a brilliant training sock for runners.

 

That’s all from me - more promos guaranteed as we work them out!
