After discovering the joy of DOMS last week, I approached yesterdays lower body weight routine with some trepidation (I would have gone earlier, but the weekend and a glut of client work got in the way).
Happily, it seems that my legs and abs (the latter may come as a surprise to many of my 3 avid readers) are a bit less unfit than my chest and arms. I'm walking normally today and can hardly feel that I was at the gym yesterday evening.
Mind you, I couldn't get the leg curl machine to work (didn't seem to fit my stumpy pins) so I couldn't complete the workout as I'd wanted... must find a member of staff to help me!
Aside: The weighing machine told me I'd lost two kilos, but I suspect that doesn't mean much.
[EDIT:The DOMS kicked in again, especially my hip adductors. The exercise that did it is the Transverse Adduction. I'm having a couple of days off as a result./EDIT]

Do you hear 'Eye of the Tiger' in the backround? Are you tempted to run the mean streets to get into fighting trim?
Or do you collapse on the sofa with a martini and a sausage roll?
We should be tole...

Pass the vodka somebody?
