This is the stairs I have been talking about :-) It looks easy but it is hard! First time I tried it I managed 250 on level 3 including pause every 50 step,- today I did 500 without brakes! 340 on level 4 and 160 on level 3 :-)

I also did the rest of the program,- without heartflicker!!! Yeah!

Now I have made a page on Facebook, maybe you will like it to follow me? It is called Maisens corner (like the blog) and I have shared all my training chapters in it.

Wishing everyone a nice day :-)

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) - Springfield Clinic Pulmonary

Yesterday was a odd work out because on Thursday I was seeing my asthma doctor. I took a test to check my breathing capasity.

My capasity was 70% + last October, now it is 66 %! After so many months with a lot of cardio excercises! The reason CAN be the betablockers, but it should not be so bad since I have been doing the cardio so well,- according to my physioterapist






I went to the gym with tears in my eyes, because it felt so useless :-(  I did almost the whole  program,- proud of my self <3
I will try to get a new opinion from another loungedoctor because this one did not see it as a problem and could not give some soulutions.

Does any one else experience this? Do you have some advice for me ?

Dynamic Stretching With Deep Knee Bends : Training for Sports

I do 20 x 3 of these in high speed, but not as deep as her,- yet ;-)

EKG dance

This dance is visualising the heartflicker I have ;-)

Today was not one of the easiest times in the gym :-(
First I was going to have massage by the physioterapist, he was delayed with another parient so I had to wait 20 minutes. During this time my old feelings from the time in hospital came up and I almost started crying. The feeling of beeing forgotten is not nice for a person with low selfesteem. We talked about it and I got a good massage :-)

After treadmill and seated leg press I noticed some flicker, and after balancing on the half ball I had to take a betablocker :-(

Before I continued I met a young basketballplayer I know and we had a nice chat,- while the medication started to work.

I feel the winter coming now, my body works harder. Tomorrow I am going to the loung doctor,- hope my lounges are better than last year!

My physioterapist and I talked about my workout and my body today,- it really seems like my body is fighting against me getting better :-(  It makes it hard and a little less inspirationell.

Yesterday I had no problems with heartflicker in the gym <3
    
I used the treadmill as usual: 15 min 11% increase 5 km, 45/15 interval
           Because of the betablockers my cardio is not high, only 99 after this. I lost 157 calories :-)
Kneebend : 20 fast as usual
Lunges : 20 on each leg
Balanse : some minutes on the half ball (this is good for internal muscles)


Torso rotation : 10 x 3, 25 kg
Pull down : 10 x 3 this time 30 kg (+2,5)
Kneebend : 20 fast
Kneefall : 20 on each leg
Roing : 10 x 3 this time one level up to 9 :-)
Seated leg press : 10 x 3, 55 kg (suddenly pain in my left side of the back)
Back extention : 10 x 3 now 47 kg :-)

It was a nice hour or so at the gym,- no big problems. Shaky legs and wet of sweat afterwards but that is ok :-) Shows I have been doing a good job!

This weeks workout is finished :-) I did almost the whole program, the only thing I did fewer of was kneebend and "outfall" because of heartflimmer.

So today was:
Treadmill: 15 min 11% increase, 5 km speed, interval 45/15
Seated leg press: 10 x 3, 55 kg
Kneebend: 20 fast

Kneebend (1 & 2) and "outfall (photo Vektklubben)

"Outfall": 20 on each leg
Pectoral fly: 10 x 3, 5 kg
Back extension: 10 x 3, 47 kg
Roing: 10 x 3, level 8
Pulldown: 10 x 3 27,5 kg
Torso rotation: 10 x 3, 25 kg

So you can see that most of the excercises are on the same level, and some I have increased :-)

I am a little impatient now because I feel it goes too slow :-( I do not feel improvements in real life, only in the gym.

                                     I DON'T GIVE UP <3

Whishing everyone a nice and healthy weekend where ever you are :-) (and if you would like to leave a comment I would be happy )

Yesterday was another hard day at the gym :-( But I made it through the program so I can be proud of my self <3 It was too cold for me to use my bicycle, so even with a very short distance I used the car since I am so exhausted when I finish......

I believe it is more reasons why it is hard on the gym now: colder weather, full moon coming +++

Yesterday we got the first snow :-(

But it is luckely gone now!

Today I had a down day :-(  My brother was helping me to change to winter tires on my car. I allways help as much as I can.
I roll the tires into the washinghall, use the water jetting (very hard!) and roll them back to the car. After all the workout I have been doing I would think I would feel it when I do these activities,- I don't :-( I have no breath left after each tire.

I really hope I will feel better soon!

Luckely I have my little furfriend <3

Yesterday I only had massage, no work-out. I was going to the hospital for a new 24-hours EKG-test.

I hope my heartrate is better than last time! Then it was more than 170 while I was sleeping! I have started on betablockers so hopefully.....

Tomorrow I will be at the gym again :-)
Wishing everybody a nice day! I am going to bring my little dog home today after he has been on fall vacation <3 (Today it has started to snow where I live :-( I hope you have warmer weather?)

Today I was really shaky when I got home from the gym! The physioterapist was standing next to me pushing me to do absolutely my best :-)

I started as usual with the treadmill, 11% increase, 5 km speed, interval 45/15 15 min X 2.

Then it was squats, 20 as fast as I could do x 3

And a little balance on the half fitnessball.

And then (I don't know what this is called): when you stand with your leggs as far apart as you can, and then bend the leg at the back to the floor. 20 times on each leg, fast. x 3

I also did rotation  and some of the other excercises but after the two bending excercises I was exhausted and my legs where like jelly ;-)
But as the physioterapist has told me : when I am as exhausted as I can get THEN it works and I will feel the changes in my body :-)

I hope everyone will get a nice weekend, and if you live near the hurrycane Matthew: take care!

It is colder in Norway now,- icy in the morning......

Hugs from sunny Norway <3

Todays workout was a little bit shorter because of headache :-( But I am proud of my self because I went to the gym instead of staying at home!

 I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes, 11 % increase, 5 km speed, interval 45/15. Then 2 minutes 0%, 3 km, and at last 10 minutes 11%,5 km,interval. Result: calories 300 heartrate 100.

 When I use the Pectoral fly I have the smallest weight (5 kg) because I do it to make me be aware of my pose. I did 10 x 2.


I then worked on my balance with the half fitness ball.

I did the Back extension 10 X 3 with 40 kg (photo below),- I like this station, I think it suites my back :-)


Last station I did was the "rowing". I did level 8, 10 x 3 = stupid because my headache got worse :-(

It is amazing to see how fast the training has gotten into my mind! From May 10th when I started totally untrained, and to now when I go to the gym even with a headache! It must be magic :-)
