During 2012 my Keep Fit regime changed completely, so can’t do a direct comparison to my 2011 fitness review.
In June, we decided to get in a personal trainer for a couple of private sessions at home, mostly to get Lynn a suitable regime but also to give me some more motivation. After looking around locally, decided to get in Carl Bradshaw It certainly worked, in that it got Lynn back into a fitness routine and I now do a wider range of activities.
This is my weekly routine now:
| Warm up - Exercise / Time | Intensity 0 –easy 10 -Hard | Main Aerobic session | Intensity 0-easy 10 Hard | Resistance | Stretch | |
| Monday | Running 5 min @5mph | 4 | Cycling 25 min 14mph level 12 (6.0m – 1.2) | 7 | Yes | Yes |
| Tuesday | X/trainer 10 min Level 2 @57 watts | 4 | Rowing 25 min @30spm | 7 | Yes | |
| Wednesday | Cycling 5 min Level 10 @11mph | 4 | Running 25 min @7.0mph (2.8m) | 7 | Yes | Yes |
| Thursday | Running 5 min @5mph | 4 | x/trainer 25 min Level 3 @80 watts 19-16 & 8-5 back | 7 | Kung Fu + Weights | Yes |
| Friday | X/trainer 5 min Level 2 @57 watts | 4 | Cycling 25 min 14mph level 12 (6.0m – 1.2) | 7 | Yes | Yes |
I have got into this new routine, but have recently been a little sporadic. Will make sure I get back into the proper routine after Xmas of course
I don't have much in the way of analysis but for the main exercise have done a couple of measurements:
Monday heart rate peak at average 138 and peak 147
Tuesday 144/151
Wednesday 154/168
Thursday 133/145
Friday 140/148
Of course the regime is totally different to last year, but overall I think the results are pretty good. I’m still able to avoid chocolate, cakes and biscuits Mon-Thur and not going too mad Fri-Sun… and my alcohol intake is worrying low recently 
For 2013 it will be to stay with the current programme, and try to increase the time to 30 mins for the main exercises, whilst also increasing the Resistance training a bit over the year as well. We’ll probably get Carl to come in and do another review of our progress in the new year, so will give an incentive to make sure we keep to the schedule !
