A beautiful sunny Thursday β and I weigh in for my quest to lose the 3 kgs I have gained since my hip operation.Β The scales we have to hand are actually in stones and lbs (Iβll have to do the conversion on line as I have no idea what that reading means). 10 stone 6 lbs is equal to 66.2 kgs β see below.
Off to the gym and itβs leg day.Β I am trying to do legs every other day to build the strength and muscle that has been deteriorating since my hip replacement operation.
Leg press β feet wide and high followed by feet together
Calf raises
Leg extensions
Squats followed by a version of sissy squats β see the video for this example
Deadlifts
And finishing off with 45 minutes of cardio on the cross trainer.
The gym have started to sell supplements β they didnβt sell them last year when I was here.Β I donβt have any protein powder so ask for a sample of the one they are selling β the name escapes me right now but it was a peanut butter flavour β when I ask to buy a pack, they tell me they donβt have that flavour until next week β grrrrr.Β So, I donβt buy any and will wait for that to come in.
I am off back to the gym this afternoon when it re-opens after siesta at 5 pm for another 45 minutes of cardio β I will get rid of this 3 kgs.
