FRIDAY – 9 February
A return to gym classes after taking a break from them following my knee ‘injury’ on 1st January. 7am start for JD Burn (barbell row, crunches, 15kg squats, step ups, press ups, weighted lunges, skierg) – 50 seconds on each exercise with 10 second rest in between, x 3. Followed by JD Abs (plank, russian twists, crunches, situps, etc).
Back on the treadmill for the first time this year – just a light 15 minute session. Followed by a sauna.
Then going into a Personal Trainer session at JD – PULL DAY: SkiErg/Ball Slam/Kettlebell Deadlift superset (15 reps/cals x 4 sets, 30 seconds between sets), Barbell Row/TRX Row superset, low seated row, bicep/hammer curls. Again, followed by another short sauna 🙂
Also, haircut day which will then be followed by a visit to Ribby Hall Health Club.
And that brings to an end my fitness journey – as a 55 year old. Another year looms over me tomorrow 🙂 Onwards and upwards as I’m about to turn 56 feeling and looking fitter than I can ever remember!
SATURDAY – 10 February
My 56th Birthday.
I was going to do an early RowErg session early in the gym before driving over to Leeds for a Jaguar Meet but as JD doesn’t open until 8am at weekends I wasn’t able to make this happen.
Also, Matty the PT has abandoned me for a week whilst he enjoys himself in Portugal.

Another rowing session at JD followed by a visit to Ribby Hall Health Club.

In Matt’s absence it’s solo training sessions this week.

An early start with a 0730 trip to JD for a 5K row, followed by a Sauna. Then I’m off to see clients and dropping in to Ribby Hall on the way home for more sauna, steam rooms and spa pool.
It’s been a good week in the gym. My first proper solo training sessions whilst Matt has been relaxing in the Algarve, definitely a confidence boost. But I am looking forward to having my personal trainer back with me on Saturday afternoon.
