At my old gym in Santo Domingo.

At my old gym in Santo Domingo. Using my program I started on in Denmark.

I signed up for a week in Santo Domingo at Body Shop Gimnasio where I used to have my gym membership. Today at Body Shop in Bella Vista where I went to pilates before but I never really got going with the weights. I used to mostly use their exercise pool at the Body Shop in Naco and was there yesterday and have been three times swimming 1000 meters each time.

I brought my program training weights with me from Denmark which I keep on my iPhone and update if I make changes including increasing the weight. I struggled adapting the program and I don’t think the air conditioning was working so it felt a little uncomfortable.

My training program is still lacking cardiovascular training but I have managed to do some cardio in my swimming. I try to sprint at the end of my swim workout and that has really improved. In the gym sometimes I start on an exercise bicycle as a warmup for ten-twenty minutes. I still have to think of something else for cardio. Maybe when I get to the beach area I can walk/run more in the morning or late afternoon.

It can be tiring with the same program but it helps changing gym. Two weeks ago I was in Aarhus, Denmark at Fitness World, Nørreport and today at Body Shop, Bella Vista in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. I am hoping to come next year again around January-February and will next time have a personal trainer help adapt my program. They have some really good ones.
