Day 4 of the training week and it looked like going it was going to be a long and hard night. Bigman headed for Cowdenbeath gym with a positive mental attitude that he was going to enjoy the evening. Today had been a testing day in the workplace and some exercise would burnt off that pent up need for physical activity whilst 'tied' to a desk.
He started with 30 minutes on the step machine whilst catching up with the news. 350 calories less and 30 minutes later on it was time to hit the weight regime. Bouncing long the row of machine stood in a line like soldiers he polished off 3 repitions of each building the core muscles and then a treadmill became spare.
It is fascinating how some music is very good to exercise with the beat and other stuff is just absolute rubbish. You would be as well switching off. The lyrics that caught the imagination this week was from Don't Stop beleivin' by Glee Cast. The speed was a gentle 7mph with average heart beat at 147bpm and gallons of sweat dispersed! It was a good 3o minute workout.
And then, it was onto the bike. Still feeling good, Bigman went for it. 40 minutes at level 15 and a steady rhythm of 60 revs per minute. It got tough and then it just got tougher. Always at the back of his mind was the payback in just over 8 weeks time when the Posse Ecosse will be in South Africa for the BIG ONE.
A good 140 minute workout. If it continues to remain above freezing, it may be possible to return to the Dark Knight Riders on a Wednesday night tomorrow. Watch this space. We have now stepped up our efforts to raise funds so please read the banner and give generously.
It's your pound that counts folks!
