Awesome sesh


A really great session today :) Sprints and a strength circuit - which is getting a bit monotonous but was good and then a cracking abs session to finish - we were in pair and your partner had to it your feet away and you had to stop them hitting the ground with your abs only. Cath has abs of steel so I found it hard to move her feet, but mine were like a spinning top - really felt I worked and have that lovely ache tonight.
Hoping to try out cross fit on saturday :) really excited.

TRX trial


I let my baby (8) go to swimming class on her own today and she walked over to the gym (across the car park) to meet me from TRX class, bless her. TRX was not good today - it wasn't set up and ran 20 min late and lazy trainer was too busy enjoying the sound of his own voice to get us working well. Ah well thems the brakes. I will be going to boot camp tomorrow and hope to break a better sweat, only p90x2 is cutting it as a quality work out lately. Anyway here's me doing a pike! you will see my arse still has a ways to go!!!

Tabata first class not so first class

I enjoyed tabata but was expecting more, can't wait for the other trainer so I can properly get my sweat on next week. Tabata is a high impact interval training method. You do sets of 20 secs on and 10 off - we did 8 sets. We did a variety of exercises, jacks, press ups, burpees, alt squats, lunges, oblique twists. Should be a good fat burner but the trainer ( yes him) left far too large a rest between each set and this made u loose impituss! Well it is 6 am boot camp tomorrow so off for some zzzzzzzzz catch u soon

well a new day - a better day



Today was a better day, after posting how much a trainer can affect me - the one who has been having a negative effect on me did a really outstanding class today and I feel like I have worked my butt off. My obliques and abs ache as does my bottom :) don't you love that ache? the ache of your body changing. I so do not have any abs to see at the moment but they are there just waiting!
So today was boot camp and we did a circuit and between each station a sprint (well run for me!) This was good because there was little recovery time. The circuit included tricep dips, squat thrusts, leg raises, shoulder presses, oblique twists, squat with a core bag, high 12kg kettle swings, v-sits, press ups and pull and burpee with press up. Was fab, and after this we did a round of tabata circuit and sprints 5 min solid on each. Was a great sesh other than I thought the time per station was a bit short - 35 secs is not long enough for me to really feel it.
I have been eating a bit higher cal over the weekend and I felt great today, like I could really go for it, unlike Thurs when I felt I was constantly giving up. Maybe I need a bit higher cals, 1300 is too low for the amount of work I do perhaps? This weekend I did 1600. Hmm, learning and listening to my body! and one day it will look like this I hope :) chat soon .....

Thoughts

Thoughts on the importance of a good trainer! My trainers have always been a huge support- to the point where I have used my Weightloss to literally be the poster girl for the gym. But just lately I have one that is making me feel like total crap. Why am I paying my money to not feel comfortable to work to my best? It is affecting my performance, my progress and my self esteem! But I have been going there from the start of my journey- am I afraid to let go or should I not let this one person affect me?? All questions for me to think about ! I need to assess my place in things over the next few weeks and think about what I need!
