Hello World

I've mainly created this blog to keep me honest as I'm on a bit of a fitness kick, read if you like, though it's not for you, it's for me. My most frequent exercise will be done on a Treadmill I bought cheap from Lifespan Fitness at their shop in Broadmeadows, Victoria. I use the app supplied by Lifespan, the app is not flashy which of course caves the arses in of some out there, but for me as long as the app logs the info of my workouts/walking then that's all I need, in fact I despise bling distractions, give me the bloody info, the Lifespan app does this! The APEX Treadmill counts distance steps and other metrics, I'm a step kinda guy, steps are what I like to increase...


The footwear I use for this exercising are running shoes from Under Armour, I also use the UA Map my Walk app which connects to the UA footwear to log my walking exercises, I use UA's Wind Velociti and Sonic 3 shoes. Now, speaking of apps, Under Armour has some great apps, if you want more information while walking/running on the footpath, trails or indeed treadmill, download one of their apps and connect them to your UA footwear

I also have a Concept 2 Rower, model D, honestly up there with some of the most intense workouts one can experience, it comes with a nice app that has all the information you need, fairly basic design but as I've said before the information an app  shows is far more important to me than pretty colours, the app is called ErgData they also have an integrated website that logs the information from your workouts.



I also have some Dumbells with weight plates as well (who doesn't lol). I'll update the lifetime stats screenshot image below when I reach 300 kilometres. I'll update the image on milestones...

Concept 2 RowErg Maintenance

 A more specific post on the Concept 2, this time about maintenance and care. it's for me, a place where I can keep the links and info so I don't have to go searching for it when I need it. Yep I'm sure most of the links will probably lead one back to the main concept 2 website, though I will look for some good youtube videos as well. Model D RowERG Maintenance The Concept 2 is a piece of exercise equipment reasonably priced for the home user and the go to rower for Gyms etc. Rowing clubs have them for indoor training, they are the standard and extremely well built for all users. I'm a Mechanic, we love robust machinery that doesn't require a lot of maintenance and constant repairs, I love the Concept 2 Model RowErg. More to come...

Connected Footwear by Under Armour

These Under Armour Velociti Wind shoes are under the category of running on UA's website, I have no idea how the are as far as comfort etc. they are when running. I only walk these days and they are perfect for walking on the treadmill or on the footpath. The thing that really piqued this geeks interest was that they connect to an app, the app shows some great information from your walking and running exercises.
