Tough Circuits
February 11th, 2004, by Rich.
Circuits today was quite strenuous comprising four stations each with 10 exercises.
Each exercise was completed for 30 seconds, then done a second time. This format is typically more effective than one where the whole class shifts around every two minutes because less time is lost between exercises - so heart rate stays high and muscle fatigue levels remain higher, meaning lots of assisting muscles have to help out the main ones more of the time, resulting in higher levels of fatigue.
This is the essence of a good class, one where, at the end of every 30 seconds you’d gladly give hard cash to be able to stop.
In other news I just heard that sports therapist (& inflictor of pain) Lisa has a little pneumonia, so she won’t be coming tonight. Hope you’re better PDQ Lisa.
