Day 8 arrived and I have decided to repeat the Gyroboard Beginner’s Workout routine that was designed for me by a personal trainer. Things seemed a little easier today, which is pretty good considering this is only day two of the routine!
Since February 22, 2011 I have had a set of dumbell weights sitting by my front door, which have proved to be a very good door stop. Thanks to the earthquakes we’ve been having in Christchurch, my house is no long upright and level, so the door swings easily shut by itself, hence the need for a door stop. However, I decided on Day 8 to get the weights out of the box and put together one with the lightest discs on the bar. This has a total weight of 2.5kg.
At this point in time it is important to note that I am not a personal trainer! If you want to follow along with what I’m doing, I do recommend that you check everything out with your healthcare provider and a professional trainer. I’m going slowly with any exercises I introduce to my own routine.
This includes adding weights to the Gyroboard beginner’s workout routine. I’m going very easy on what I am doing. I decided that I would just do a few bicep curls, and managed ten on each arm. This was standing on the stable ground of Christchurch, rather than up on the Gyroboard deck. I think I will leave that challenge for a few more weeks!
Aside from finding exercising easier, I am also noticing some other few side effects. Good ones though. I have more energy and motivation and am finding it easier to focus. After the lethargy brought on by the trauma and stress of the Christchurch Quakes, it’s nice to feel more like my old self!
There is another benefit to my exercising including the Gyroboard Beginner’s workout routine, but I’ll share that tomorrow.
