I arrived back in Edinburgh last night, having had my fill of ruined castles, churches and bridges over the past few weeks. Also - somewhat surprisingly - I managed to gain a bit of weight. Trekking around three countries was apparently equalled by the proceeds of a diet rich in pork pies, hamburgers and chips. Mmmm.
The 'on the road' workout routines were great, although I substituted a healthy dose of early morning mountain air for a workout about half of the time. The only change I would make for future trips is to increase the dose of ab work slightly - the rest of it seemed to go down well.
Overall it felt like a well-balanced routine (for my current needs at least); although I'll need to wait for the results of my next few workouts to verify that. Whilst I wade through the several hundred emails that have come my way over the past couple of weeks, here's a bit of (video - 2MB, .wmv). Unfortunately there wasn't enough room on the card to record the following session (Hindu squats), so I'll do those separately.
As for photos, I'm just wading through several thousand of them now. The joys of digital photography.
