After the success of my firstsprint hill interval training session on Tuesday evening, I decided to go for another session today. My aim was to do about twenty minutes again, similar to Tuesday, but this time I opted to do the session on the flat instead of up a hill!
Where I live, down on the Somerset levels is fairly flat, and there is a long farmers track which is pretty much one mile in lenght. I figured this would be an ideal place to do an interval session along, two miles (there and back) of short 10-15 second sprints intersperced with a jog to enable me to get my breath back and allow my heart rate to recover.
The first mile, I was fine, I did 10 second sprints followed by 60 second j

My second bicep and tricep workout in my new gym was also my last workout of my current training period. I’ve split my training up into eight week periods, during which I supplement withcreatine monohydrate, followed by one week where I don’t do any weight training and I come “off” creatine. So next week will be a week off from weights, though I will continue to do some CV work, no doubt mainly interval training.

Did a quick warmup set ofbarbell curlsusing the 25kg barbell, then went into my working sets, my aim was to do three sets of 9 reps, thus increasing slightly on last week’s working sets.

Weight Loss Surgery noreply@blogger.com (Weight Master) says: I am normally not a big fan of surgery for weight loss purposes, but there are instances (the morbidly obese for example) when the health benefits of surgery can outweigh the risks. One of these types of surgery is calledlapbandor Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding. Basically, during the procedure a band is laparoscpically placed around the upper stomach creating a new smaller stomach pouch. The new smaller pouch can hold less food; therefore, one feels full and satisfied faster while actually eating less and losing weight. So if you are considering surgery in order to lose weight, do not forget to research extensively the benefits and risks ofweight loss surgery.
