In two parts. Up and around Edinburgh to get Bike Helmet post off and then from Mussleburgh up to a friends house.

Gentle walks as knee stuffed.

Still no planks/superman due to knee/elbow being scuffed up.

Following the 100 press ups/200 sit ups/200 squats thing.

Week One Day Three:

Press ups (modified and now on bonus one leg!): 22 - too easy. May reset this.
Sit Ups: 94 - hard.
Squats: 80 - easy.

Side leg lift supersetted with 45 degree side leg lifts (15 of each on both sides x2)
Squats with roundhouse kicks (15 each side x2)

Shoulder v sore.

Following the 100 press ups/200 sit ups/200 squats thing.

Week One Day Two:

Press ups (modified and now on bonus one leg!): 16 - easy/probably should graduate to legs behind a bit more (though will have to wait until the knee is less like a tangerine!)
Sit Ups: 87 - hard work.
Squats: 80 - fine.

Just did shoulder, knee, ankle and hip stuff as I think I got core covered today!

Also I can't really do superman (can't kneel) or planks (can't lie on elbow).

Spent day with ice pack on trying to get it to a) stop bleeding and b) stop being so swollen I couldn't move it.

Hobbled around supermarket in evening.

Very sore today. Hips/legs especially.

Thank you Mr Google Map Pedometer! My Garmin wasn't up to the job (needed a hard reset).

Really enjoyed the cycling though marred by coming off just by the right hand turn into Waverley station on the way home. Basically was overtaking bus, which then took avoidance action around a suddenly stopping taxi (it's wheel fell off!) and pushed me, who was in the right hand lane anyway) over onto the deathly tram tracks.

Have smashed my head, got a hole in my leg, grazed arm and sore shoulder/hip/ribs.

Lovely.

Pushing a baby around Holyrod Park.

Nice walk in the sunshine, singing like a strange person to the baby.

Squats - 61
Sit ups - 81
Push ups (modified) - 17

(100 pressups/100 sit ups/200 squats challenge)

Don't actually feel I am at the right level as they don't particularly seem all that arduous.

Shoulder very sore. Hip ok.

Shoulder workout:

15 reps both sides of shoulder raises (one out to side, one in front) x 2 (very hard work!) - half weights for this due to shoulder.

15 reps of reverse flies x 2 sets (one legged, bent forward) No weight for these as the pain was rather great - really sets off the impingment syndromw.

V sit up 15 reps x 2 sets

Out and in sit ups 15 reps x 2 sets

Side plank x2

NB Podcast Borked.

Physio

More poking of spine. This time C5/7 which basically has left me with a blinding headache.

Note to the wise - physio + sunburn = new word for pain.

Very sore shoulder now.

Carry on with exercises bah.

Broke up into 4 jaunts to and from the car whilst marathon wrangling today.

Low intensity, but horribly hot day today.

Shoulder stronger but grates with the more advanced moves. Feels very weak now.

All else ok.

Legs today.

2 circuits of:

Side leg lift supersetted with 45 degree side leg lifts (15 of each on both sides x2)
Squats with roundhouse kicks (15 each side x2)
Step ups (15 each side x2)

Highly sweat inducing. Very, very hot today.
