It's mostly a mind game ... I think

Another week has gone by and with it another three sessions for me at the Prime Human Performance Institute as part of the Flora Strong Heart Programme.

 

It's amazing how the body adapts. I'm the first to admit that I like easing into my mornings so initially getting to the gym first thing in the morning was difficult. It's like anything I guess. The initially steps in any project can be challenging but after a while it gets easier.

 

One of my favourite things about doing the programme at Prime is the fact that I am not staring into a mirror and seeing hulk flexing its muscles and grunting with every rep. Some enjoy that. Personally, having spent time in a gym some time ago where a few of the women could bench press two of me with ease, I can honestly say I don't miss the mirrors.

 

My blood pressure is recovering quicker than it was before after exercise and this is obviously a good sign. I haven't had my cholesterol checked since I started the programme but considering my diet I'm sure it's behaving itself.
