1st Tiny Step!

I made it to the gym this morning, and whilst it wasn't to attempt a proper programme it still was the first tiny step on that road to recovery by getting a weight in my hand (even it was ridiculously light). The exercises that I tried were standing shoulder press, lat-pulldown, seated row, bench press, lats (side, front and back), shrugs and an incline hammer curl. All exercises were 2 sets, the first was a tester of no less than 10 reps. It was surprising to see what hurt and what didn't. Of those that did it was good to pinpoint at what position I experienced the most pain.

I also managed to cycle today even in the horrendous snow we had. It was dangerous really but probably safer and better than going by car. So I did just over 14miles - not bad considering. The only problem was that my right knee was aching (partly due to being forced to ride my fold up - as it has wider wheels it was better in the snow. Anyway that's all for now Im going to bed for a well earned rest.

Cheers, BustaGut!
