Well it went well, I survived! That's the main thing.

After the warm up I felt like I had done a workout! LOL

I did some pushups, squats and boxsteps to get started, then did a small kettle bell complex.

swings
Around the body
Clean and presses

Did these with a 16kg bell.

All in all, it was a start, looking forward to moving forward.... :)

Couple Power Walks to get things going

Monday and Tuesday evening I went for a Powerwalk.

Each one was around 1.3km, and took 18-19 minutes.

Felt good to get back at it.

Tomorrow morning is my first one on one with Curd at Hostyle Conditioning center....

I will type what I did, if I can type...lol

It won't be like my last one, but I will give it my all. I am, looking forward to it..

Anyhow, off to eat my Beef patties and steamed broccoli... MAN diet rules!
