Jedi Training Tip
The clocks went forward this weekend, so my body was a little unprepared for a circuit class which started at the equivalent of 05:45.
Start Monday Here
A nice circuit class followed by a 4.5 mile run. Is there a better start to Monday morning?
A change is as good as a rest
Rob’s back from holiday so he made this quite a frantic session, including such joys as 3minutes straight on medball situps. We’ve decided to put the pain down to “a change is a good as a rest” and ignore the resulting wibbly feeling that’s stayed with us throughout the day. Ouch.
Different Circuits
Circuits in the morning and an easy run in the evening.
Sleeping Circuits
Somehow I think I slept through this class.
Busy Day
A busy day! I combined my hour of circuits with a 4.5 mile run in order to catch up a little after my slack day yesterday.
Weigh-In
Quite a good circuit today because of the way it was laid out – the minimal break time between the bases meant it was strenuous.
Supported Circuits
I took the precaution of wearing a neoprene knee-support in circuits today.
Back to Circuits
I’m feeling 100% again. Yay!
Circuits and Buns
After a morning circuit class Em & I stopped off for a bacon bun in the gym.
Tough Circuits
Circuits today was quite strenuous comprising four stations each with 10 exercises.
Improved Recovery
My legs are not bad at all after the 14 mile run of 2 dys ago (yay!).
Short Circuits
This seemed like a short session (I think only about 50 minutes of exercise) but it’s good to have a bit of a break – we’ll probably be doing a good distance on the run tomorrow!
Comforable Circuits
Today’s training was CV focussed, but not in any way a hard day.
Hitting Pads
The hip is feeling better. A Boxercise session will stress it differently to (and less than) a run, so a night of cardio-vascular work it is probably better. Ouch. 2×1 hour back to back classes, with lots of pad work so my little ticker was pushed a lot.
Cross-Cross-Training
Tonight featured an hour of Boxercise, followed by an hour of Volleyball. This worked well because the boxercise rends to be a whole body killer, whereas volleyball works the thights and leg stability muscle groups. Result: I’m knackered.
Sore hips and Circuits
My right hip is a little sore after yesterday’s speed work. It’s possibly also due to a minor wrenching on the last day of boarding: when trying to lift the nose of the board from some deep snow I felt the hip-ball get slightly dislodged from it’s socket – a strange experience. Circuit training tonight …
The first cross-training circuit class
Boxercise: 2×1 hour classes, back to back, focusing on strength and peak heart rate work. Included lots of (weighted) lunges, squats, lunge walks, ski sits, sideways lunges, squat thrusts, burpees & star jumps, so I’ll need 24+ hours to recover before the next run.
