Today

Today I did the Kokoda memorial walk (1000 steps) at the Dandenong Rangers National Park in VIC after not having done it in years, with my wonderful boyfriend Alex.
I was excited to do it as I have been wanting to for months and I was also quite confident with my abilities to conquer the steps - I was wrong.
Although we went up the wrong side of the track first, I realised how appallingly aerobically unfit I was! It also didn't help that I could hardly walk or sit down prior to doing the steps because I had an insane legs session with my Dad two days before (glutes and hamstrings are still aching). I don't really enjoy cardio, I love my weights, which is why I always put off doing exercises such as these.
My lack of ability has completely motivated me to intensify my cardio sessions that little bit more without over doing it because still, I'd hate to lose any muscle mass.

Overall I had such an amazing yet challenging day and it was an amazing change to exercise outdoors instead of in a gym! My boyfriend and I both agreed we're going to do it more often (and properly this time!)
I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, no matter what your abilities are!
