Another “simple” weight session to hit the major muscle groups. Super sets of BB Squat and Lat Pull down, into super set leg curls and chest press, finished off with shoulder press and shuttle runs.

Hamstrings are going to be in pieces tomorrow thanks to the leg curls. So refueling with MyProtein impact whey and creatine. Hopefully a walk home and tonight’s cardio group class help to keep them loose.

There’s some big roadworks coming next week so expect delays getting in and out of Ilkeston at Trowell with a knock on effect through Stanton.

You might want to give yourself a few extra minutes getting to the gym.

ROAD CLOSURES AND BUS DISRUPTION BETWEEN ILKESTON AND NOTTINGHAM

Drivers and bus passengers are being warned of disruption during surface-dressing work on the main roads through Trowell next week.

The work will affect:

• A609 Ilkeston Road and Nottingham Road
• A6007 Stapleford Road and Trowell Road

The latest road-closure schedule is:

MONDAY 7 SEPTEMBER
9am–3pm and 8pm–6am

TUESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER
9am–3pm and 8pm–6am

WEDNESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER
8pm–6am

THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER
8pm–6am

FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER
9am–3pm

There will be no work on Sunday 6 September.

Access will be allowed during the closures, with motorists escorted through where possible. However, delays are likely as heavy equipment may need to be moved before vehicles can pass.

BUS DISRUPTION

Trentbarton’s the two and my15 services will be diverted at times while the work takes place.

Stops expected to be missed by the two include:

• Ilkeston, Thurman Street
• Trowell, Stoney Lane
• Trowell, Haynes Avenue
• Trowell, St Helens Crescent
• Trowell, Nottingham Road
• Trowell, Motorway Bridge
• Trowell Moor, Waterloo Lane
• Trowell Moor, Springwood Nursery
• Trowell Moor, Nottingham Road

The my15 is also expected to miss stops at Moorbridge Lane in Stapleford and along Trowell Road and through Trowell.

Ilkeston Market Place is not included on the list of missed stops, so passengers should still be able to board the two there for Nottingham.

The work is weather-dependent and the arrangements may change at short notice. Drivers and passengers are advised to allow extra time and check for updates before travelling.

A reminder that we are CANCELLED TOMORROW!!

Overnight Weetabix

Something a little different from your overnight oats and it can pack a huge protein punch to start your day.

🧑‍🍳 Ingredients
Wheetabix - 2 or 3 depending on your portion size
Milk - 50-100ml enough to moisten
Yoghurt - 2-3 tablespoons

Optional Extras -
Protein powder - 1 scoop (optional)
Fruit & seeds - optional for flavour, hitting your 5-a-day and fibre content

📖 method
Crunch up Weetabix into a powder in your container and cover with just enough milk. Put into the fridge for half an hour to let the milk soak in. spoon over yoghurt and put back in the fridge until the morning and enjoy.

Optional extras - I usually add seeds into the Weetabix mixture, or top the yoghurt with berries. This time I mixed a scoop of MyProtein Twix Protein into my yoghurt and sprinkled seeds on top. I've also switched milk and yogurt out at different times for different Kefir products.

Let me know which combinations you go for.
