I read that (twice) as knocked out and just couldn't make any sense of it

Well I got my new routine yesterday:
30 minutes CV (up from 25) and can use the programmed routines on the treadmill
Heart rate 135-145 on the above

3 Minutes on the Power Plate
30 seconds on 3 types of squat, 1 lunge each leg and calves
This is now to run continually rather than stopping the machine to change position

On the floor:
8 lunges x 2 reps
10 x 4 sitting on a ball, lifting a 3kg medicine ball behind my head and back up
10 x 4 sitting on a ball holding 2 x 1kg weights and lifting them to shoulder level then in the air
10 x 4 "russian twists" lying on my back with my legs up, twisting them from side to side
10 x 4 crunches with a medicine ball, think it's 2kg (all written down for me at the gym)

And the piece de resistance
8 x 2 pull ups on the pull up machine, set at 75kg
This looks like a horrific instrument of torture and is very high (for someone who breathes heavily when she has to go up into the loft) but I did 4 to get the hang of it and it seems pretty much okay dokey.

Felt at my worst yesterday, so I slept all day after the assessment.
Got up about 20.00 for a wee, played Animal Crossing for a while then went back to sleep.

Am hoping Water Workout and new gym routine will make me feel more positive today. Sorry for whining in the workout thread the other day, it's all connected in my head.
