Pierini Fitness
took last week off for active rest and recovery. It had been a while and was time. It felt good to spend time in a heart rate
zone where most people do, rather than way up there in the anaerobic or fire
engine red zone.
He ended the week of active rest and
recovery on Sunday with a serious late afternoon and into the evening nap,
waking up to take a shower and then back to bed for a finale sleep.
Before going any further, here are
some photos from Wharf to Wharf 2019:

The enjoyable week of active rest and
recovery ended yesterday with the following workout done during the noon hour
at a park:
Weighted alternating pull-ups and
chin-ups with a 20kg kettlebell (pull-ups on odd-numbered rounds and chin-ups
on even-numbered rounds - 5-3-3-4-3-3-3-3-3-3) plus double 20kg kettlebell overhead press for 5 reps every 2:30
for 10 rounds – completed 10 rounds in 23:36.
Surprisingly, the weighted pull-ups
and chin-ups felt heavy, proving once again that heavy is best dealt with
frequently. It had been three weeks since
my last weighted pull-ups and chin-ups workout and reps per round were higher
across the board.
Enough of the details, it feels great
to be back on the fitness training pony.
