Special thanks to my dear sister for the encouragement after yesterday's post. I've just been back to the gym, determined to make a proper effort this time, to make up for my rather token efforts during the week.
I extended my walking time to 30 minutes today. I nudged the heart rate limit back down to 126bpm to make sure I would make it through the time without hurting my back, and sure enough, it worked! So hopefully tomorrow I will come back and do it again with more effort.
I also, at last, added in some of the weights exercises and ab crunches that my trainer gave me a week ago. I don't know how many times a week I'll be able to do this, because it adds another half an hour onto my workout time.
And finally, I'm still very cross with that iPhone app that won't run any more. It was going to be the perfect way to make my progress visible because I could do the data entry immediately after the session and the graphs could be posted here straight away if they were interesting. I'm contemplating the possibility of upgrading the iPhone to the latest OS version, but I've heard a few horror stories about the performance post-upgrade, and frankly, it isn't exactly lightning quick as it is. Maybe I should have got a 3GS instead of going for the older less expensive model.
