Training

The gym at the village contains the following equipment:
* two tredmills
* an exercies bike
* a cross trainer
* two swiss balls
* two sets of dumbells - 2kg and 2.5 kg

It opened in November and I started to regularly attend in late November (after our return from Fiona's Wedding). My aim is to exercise at the gym every second day, though it usually works out at 3 times a week

My initial fitness regime was:
* 10 minutes on exercise bike at level 5, RMP 65 - 70
* 10 minutes on cross trainer level 5, speed 19 - 20 km
* 15 minutes on tredmill - first 2 minutes at 5km, 2 - 10 minutes at 10 kms, 10 to 15 minutes at 5 kms
* 10 minutes on exercise bike - level 5, RPM 70 - 75
* stretches
* stairs - down to basement, up to 2nd floor, down to ground floor.
