41 minutes of Tacx Satori today. Easy pace with a good read on my Kindle. Salem's Lot is slowly developing. Legs felt Ok and my Core Stab muscles were less sore than they were yesterday so I could do my exercises today.

My evening started off with a session with kinesitherapist Ellen Delie. Showing me some new Core Stab exercises, more difficult than the previous ones. I need a workout mat soon now, because these exercises demand a solid yet complient surface. I have ordered this one.
She also showed me an exercise with a big exercise ball, but since I don't have a ball like that, there is no use in persuing that.
When I got home I got on the Tacx Satori and rode for 30 minutes. My legs felt fresher and stronger than yesterday. Afterwards I did some Core Stab exercises but not as many as I usually do, due to my kine visit earlier.

Took the time for an hours' worth of Tacx Satori. The legs felt fine although a litle tired. The resistance was upped by inflating the rear tyre to 3 bars, causing it to press harder against the steel roller. But the ride went well and the Core Stab exercises afterwards also left me with a good feeling.

An easy half hours on the Tacx Satori today. I finished the 'return of the sorcerer' by Clark Ashton Smith and started reading Stephen Kings' "Salems Lot" on my Kindle. This is one of the many bone-chilling tales I remember seeing the TV movie version of,  a long time ago.
The legs felt good and I had a good session of Core Stability exercices afterwards.

Arriving home late in the afternoon I sat on the Hilset on the Tacx Satori for 30 minutes of recovery. Pace and speed were high but the legs felt good and strong. Another one of the hellish tales of Averoigne passed before my eyes on the Kindle.

A visit to my kinesitherapiste, and some exercises and manipulations to loosen my hip and strenghten my Core. At home I got on the Tacx Satori for 40 minutes of relaxed riding. Kindle before me for another of Clark-Ashton Smiths' stories.

Half an hour on the Tacx Satori was sufficient for me today. I still use the lowest resistance and can keep the speed and the revs high because of that.

Today I settled on half an hour of Tacx Satori. I had a very intense week with several 1-hour rides and of course the daily Core Stability exercises which are quite hard and are leaving my core muscles with a tired but satisfied feeling. The intensity of those exercises has risen with the introduction of the new ones last wednesday.

After a days' rest due to lack of time, I sat upon the Hilset on the Tacx Satori rollers once more today. My new Core Stability exercises left me with dull muscles in hip and buttock but my legs were strong and vibrant and I could maintain a good pace throughout the hour-long ride.

Rode an hour on the Tacx Satori this early afternoon. Reading another novel by Clark Ashton-Smith and listening via Spotify to some tunes of Nazareth, MSG and Iron Savior.
Legs felt fine .

An appointment with my kinesitherapist had me learn some new exercises to strenghten my core. Some of them were very difficult and needed a lot of concentration to perform. I was to include them with my previous exercises, building up the reps as teh days passed.
When I got home, I rode an hour on the Tacx Satori. My legs felt strong and time passed swiftly.

Back at work so when I got home it was late in the afternoon. I settled on the Tacx Satori for an hour of easy pedalling, at resistance 1. Legs felt fine.

The muscles in my buttocks felt taut this morning. The exercises for the core-stability are having an effect on the muscles they are supposed to strenghten. Let's hope they continue to do so when the body becomes accustomed to them.
Today I only spent half an hour on the Tacx, allowing my legs to have a day off .
Clark-Ashton Smiths' "Double Shadow" was my horror-story for the day. One of his best in my opinion.

Another ride on the Hilset, with its rear wheel clasped in the Tacx Satori. The legs are fine. Doing the Core-stability exercises for a couple of days now and it feels as if I need to master control of muscles I was previously unaware of. Slowly making progress and I have been feeling some muscles ache in places I have not felt muscles ache before. Hope I am doing them right. I have a new appointment with the kine next wednesday.

Got on the Tacx Satori this morning for 40 minutes of recovery. I am starting a new book on my Kindle, The return of the Sorcerer , a collection of short tales by Clark Ashton-Smith. I have read most of them earlier in my life but it still fills me with an eery feeling browsing through the unspeakable horrors that he so masterly describes. Late-evening stuff.

A visit to Ellen Delie - kinesitherapist- yesterday and I received 3 exercises to start my Core Stabilization programme. Little exercises but they prove very hard to do. Tensing the right muscle in my abdomen, moving my leg for a couple of cm's at a time and rotating my pelvis without using my back. Lots of concentration and feel is needed.
I must do these exercise twice each day.
Started out with an hour on the Tacx Satori, finishing my read of F.Paul Wilsons' Sibs. Legs felt good, no problem there.
After wards I completed the first time my CS exercises. Will take a while to get the feel for them but I am taking this one step at a time.
