Heya's
So this week was pretty mundane as apose to last weeks high of the Blackpool trip. It taken me a few days to recover and not in the ways i thought. Firstly people where saying that it would be my arse that was going be in pain, it wasnt it was my lower back and my arms. A massage from the expert who is Karen Aitken from Relaxing Retreats http://www.traffordleisure.co.uk/centres/stretford/therapies/ sorted my neck and back out and a good gym session and swim sorted out the rest.
Went out this morning for a cycle doing some of the same route of the Manchester to Blackpool Ted has promised me a good pedal on Thursday evening with some hills so that should be very interesting!! Decided to start the swimming again its not so great on the eczema but i have to say its good for my dodgy knee. I will be going to see a physio and good friend of mine Mr Marek Holowenko http://www.mhcpt.co.uk/ for a session tomorrow to try and find out what is wrong with my knee. Its not that i cant exercise its just painful when i kneel on it and a little sore after i finish cycling. See what happens.
So had my body fat reading taken this week and was pleasantly surprised it was 20% which is borderline healthy/overweight the last time i took the test it was 35% so i am chuffed. Need to work on that looking to get down to 10%ish. More swimming and gym me thinks.
So the totals this week;
Exercise
Commuting; 34.13km
Leisure; 45km
Gym Session; Crosstrainer various weights
Swimming; 24 lengths front crawl
Have an uber week and hoping that the weather picks up for us all!!
Your body fat seems a little low. You should be aiming for about 15% min. How do you get it measured?
ReplyDeleteThere's a formula for working out a rough calculation of body fat and it's fairly good.
Adult Body Fat % = (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x Age) - (10.8 x gender) - 5.4
where male gender= 1, female=0.
Thanks for that Toby. Had it measured using electrical procedure. It's normally best to do it using Kalipers but we didn't have any. 10% is a good avg for athletes and i wouldn't mind taking the cycling to another level once the weight is off and doing Timetrialling next year.
