Well I've started my 2016 oddessy back to being fit again. January saw a good start with zero alcohol, drop in sugars and one cup of coffee in the morning..
Using a polar HR monitor, my resting HR is about 80 which given my build of 6'4 and 13st8 is not good infact it's very bad. Simple lifting set of a 6Kg dumbbell increases it to over 100. Yes. I am that unfit - partly sitting on my ass for the year doing job applications and not taking the hour todo some exercise. I used to deadlift 140-160Kg at uni, weighing 75Kg with a 28" waist! Plan is doing this every day with the HR and getting back to my 2007/8 resting heart rate of 42 when measured for a gym after kick boxing.
Just setup the old MTB on the static trainer in the garage after making space yesterday.
Day 1. Including warm up - 20 minutes @ 155 HR, setting 3 on the trainer resist and medium rate (middle ring and middle set on the set at the back).
Legs burned during session, have that exercised exhausted legs feel which is good to start with. Idea is to get the system ready for more exercise including all the support muscles.
