Exercise routine:

Warm up routine was okay and remembered what to do as I went through the sequence with Mark before I went away. May have to correct some things when I get home to Brisbane but routine was done as close as I could do.

A1 Body weight squats - Okay. Knees creaked a bit but got through the sets with no hassle.


A2 Plank - only held for 15 seconds - have to work on upper body strength.


B1 Body weight forward lunge - Not sure I did these correctly but got as close as I could work out. Have a small challenge with proprioception (the unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself) and the lack thereof.


B2 Smith Machine push up - Firm mattress on bed a bit higher than in video but still felt the sets in my arms. Did all sets.


C1 Snatch (by any other name) - Easy for me as the cheat sheet sent was clear and I can remember these from past exercise programmes (distant but still there somewhere in the memory). No medicine ball so did with 1.5 kg weight.


C2 Flutters  - No swiss ball as in pictures so was advised to use corner of bed. Hope I did these okay. Tim are they a hold for 30 seconds?  - as that is what I did.


Will be so much easier when I get home as I have all the right equipment and the PT Elf is there. Who cares about House Elves when you know you need more discipline with the exercise.

Heaven knows what he is going to charge me at the end of all this but I am sure we can work out a 'barter' system she says with a smile.
