I’ve managed to get mine and Mikey’s free access to the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth thanks to the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme.  It’s great to get back in the gym though its not much fun when I’m there on my own but I get by this just by thinking “what would Kenny and Pickle be taking the micky out of?”

I’ve really enjoyed working on my own program and addressing the areas I think will benefit me the most, mainly my back and shoulders.  I have got a hold of 2 books which are great for showing you what exercises work which muscles, its called strength anatomy (and it also shows you correct execution descriptions and diagrams) and I’ve also been utilising one called stretching anatomy.  These books are available from Human Kinetics (or pirate bay, muhahahahaha)

Another good thing about the gym is watching Mikey get tortured by the gym instructors…. I mean I do love him to pieces but…… giggles!
