smashed it!!!

with your PBs, is that a set or a single rep?
 
Haven't been able to do Yoga since Wednesday as the studio I go to is 200 meters from the Gabba and due to parking restrictions while the cricket is on you can't park anywhere, I'm hoping the Aussies wrap up the Test Match early today so I can go tomorrow.

Went for a run yesterday and a 2 hour walk early this morning instead, legs were sore from the run as I rarely run these days due to bad knees.
 
My mum is 62, has injuries, illnesses, and poor mobility, but she wants to lose weight with a healthy diet and exercise. She's doing well with the diet but I suggested she get a recumbent bike and exercise. The only problem is, I can't find a straight answer anywhere how frequently (per session and per days a week) she should do it. Don't want her to overdo it or underdo it either. Any suggestions?

The bigger question is how often is she going to do it as that should be your starting point.
Once she’s up and going 5-10 minutes a day at the right intensities will be enough to yield good improvements in cardiovascular health.

Good stuff mate. Admire your dedication.

TO become a fully fledged crossfitter, you must now tell everyone you do crossfit. :D

I've tried non animal protein before, hated the chalky texture.
If I train on a weekend and have time I'll cook a meal instead of have a protein shake anyway.

Just take it easy. When i had my asthma (and cold before it) I couldnt go to the gym for about 2 months in total. Was the longest stretch tho- i wont be making the same mistake either re. asthma next year. Get on the meds the sooner the better.
