Hotel on Park Lane

I feel like I'm walking around a giant Monopoly game when in London and it is therefore a little strange to be staying in a hotel on Park Lane; the Sheraton in case you were wondering.

First order of duty after checking in was checking out the 'fitness facility' or whatever they happen to call it. Admittedly my hopes were not high after seeing the meagre description & photo on the website (click on the third picture under features and activities). But it was a little better than expectations, at least they had some weights:Other than the dumbbells which range from 2kg to 20kg in 2kg increments and the bench, there are some cardio machines - 1 stepper, 2 treadmills, 1 incumbent resistance cycle, 1 regular resistance cycle and 1 cross trainer. I think these machines are the deluxe ones where you can watch tv if you press the wrong thing on the lcd... evidence to follow.

Then there are a selection of lifefitness machines such as chest press, leg curl, leg extension and something akin to lat pulldown.

This is what I have to work with, no obvious way to perform pullups and no oly bar.

So, here are my tools, I am taking suggestions for some workouts that I can do with or without this gear. I'm thinking lots of pushups, dumbbell thrusters, presses, etc.

I'm planning to check out the local parks for a bar or bodyweight equipment.

Something Like Cardio - Thursday 13th September 2007

I figured that since we weren't doing a mid-week session this week and that the group sessions usually constitute a big part of my cardio component, I would do one this morning at the gym.

Big ups to Damon for the suggestion, this was a ripper.

For time:
Row 500m
15xSumo High-Pull 25kg (37% BW)
5xPull Ups
3 Rounds
