Norwalk Heat

It's currently 33°C here in Norwalk, with 50% humidity, making it 'feel like 37°C' (according to weather.com). Basically, it's hot.

So no outside running tonight. Instead will try to get the to the gym with an aim of doing at least 3 exercises, 5 sets, proper form.

Update:

Chest Press
58.5kg
10 - 9  -7 - 8 - 6

Leg Press
127kg* - 13 - 12 - 10 - 11 - 11

Chin Ups
6 - 5 - 5 - 4 - 3

Seated V Crunch
62 - 60

Doing 5 sets with good form of just 3 compound exercises - seemed to give me a very good workout versus lots of exercises with fewer reps. Stuck the crunches on the end - as it always makes me feel good!

*I am reaching limit of the machine and want to move to proper squats or deadlifts, but I'm limited to the machinery in apartment gym. Back to the UK soon, so I will see if they've improved the work gym or whether I have to go back to the Fitness First in Kilburn.
