More wii cycling!

While I was waiting for my pizza to arrive tonight I did a bit of cycling while playing wii with my son.

Did 25.57 minutes on level 1, 12.63 km and burned 287 cals.

Although I didn't burn off even a 1/4 of the caleries from the pizza at least it was better than nothing! The wii is definitely a great way to not think about the exercise. I am going to buy some more games this week as the games we have are a bit boring as my son chose all the games so they are all a bit young for me.

basketball again

Played basketball after work tonight. Made 100 freethrows and 10 3 pointers in an hour. My knees still arent ready to play full court. Every time i change direction my knees hurt.

Cycling done

Got up early today. Did 45 minutes on level 1.

Did 21.47 km and burned 489 Cals.

I am going to go and play basketball tonight to see how the knees hold up as there is a full court scrimmage for 2 hours tonight. I am going to take it a bit easy and hold off a bit on defence as I tweaked my knee a couple of times on Saturday when I was on d playing on on one.

back playing basketball

Played basketball today for 2 1/4 hours today.

Made 170 freethrows 10 3 pointers then played 2 games of 1 v1 to 21.

My knees felt good except when on d and really running.

I am going to join the gym on monday to start strengthening my  kknees before playing basketball properly.

all clear

Went to the doctors today and he has given me the all clear to start exercising. He has told me to go to the gym to strengthen my kness for a month before starting to play basketball. I am planning to start tuesday morning.

One more day done

This morning die 1 hour on the exercise bike on level 1 while playing on the wii. It felt like 15 minutes!

Did 60.20 minutes, 27.05km and burned 616 cals.

Off to physio now

Mario world and cycling

Took my dog for a walk this morning but she was only walking on 3 legs so only took her for a 5 minute walk.

Decided to play Mario world and cycle on my exercise bike.

Think I will do this all the time while I am cycling as the time passes really fast.

Did 30.10 minutes 18km an burnrd 300 cals apparently.

Off to physio now then off to work.

I am going to try and do another 30minutes to 1 hour on mario world and the exercise bike tonight when I get home from work.

Slack Week

This week I haven't been able to walk with the dog at all! I have been to physio for my knee everyday tho.

I Also went to work and back on my trail bike 4 times which will have burned a few more calories and also did a lot of walking at work which will have helped a bit.

This morning I have done my first session on the exercise bike.

I only used level 1 so as to not strain my knee too much.

I did 30.17 minutes, 13.34 km and burned 304Cals.



Will try to do a bit more and also want to go for a ride on my motorbike.

Day 2 done

Walked the dog this morning again but today my knees and ankle were really sore.

I am still planning to walk every morning this month. I have decided to start off slowly in order to try and avoid more injuries.

Started Training Again

I started training again this morning. I got up at 6am and went walking for 45 minutes with my dog.

My knees felt good and the walk was good all in all I struggled a little starting off but after I warmed up it was fine.

Also took my car to clean so did 2 x 15 minute walks as well.

All Clear

Had my last physio session today and was allowed to cycle on the exercise bike. I asked him if I ok to use my exercise bike and he said that I can but only on a low resistance and only on the exercise bike.

I have a return to my doctor on thursday so I will find out if I need more physio and if I can start going back to the gym soon.

Fit by 41 1/2

Due to working loads and tearing my acls in both knees I havent been able to loose any substantial weight so I have decided to push my goal date 6 months forward.

I am now able to walk pain free so will start walking every morning before work and I am planning to also do a upper body curcuit while I am rehabing the knees.

I got up at 6am this morning but due to a stomach bug I picked up new years eve I decided that it was better to wait another day to fully recover from the bug before I start exercising.

Loosely my plan for January is:

Weekdays

5:30 - 6:00 - Hand Bike
6:00 - 6:30 - Walk with dog
6:30 - 7:00 - Upperbody Circuit
7:00 - 7:30 - Stretching

Weekends

6:00 - 6:30 - Walk with dog
6:30 - 8:30 - Mountain biking

I have found that historically  I need to train in the mornings as my work regularily means that I miss training, also if I am also much lazier in the evenings!

Added to the exercise I have decided to stop drinking Coca Cola as much of my weight gain is due to drinking at least 2l of coke a day and all of the extra calories it brings.

I havent had a drink of coke this year (3 days) so not doing too badly.
