I did have all intentions of getting up early and going to the gym, however I didn't get up till 8.30. Still I sorted myself out and got to the gym by ten only to find that it was heaving with "springies". I wasn't prepared to wait to use the equipment so undeterred I went to Stealth and set about planning what to do. I have noticed that already I am becoming quite obsessive about my training, a good sign, but I am conscious I don't repeat of the 2000 training regime, it's easy to get carried away and put everything to one side. I'm not prepared to do it again.
To start off with I decided to do the bleep test, I wasn't expecting miracles since yesterdays run was my first since November. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the level 9-10 I achieved however I am looking at it as a starting block from which to build.
Next (still heavily out of breath) I decided to create a strength/low intensity fat burning circuit. It compromised using A Box, A Heavy Kettle Bell, 2 x Kettle balls, A pad and A med ball. (see accompanying photo's) I started with Military push ups (hands shoulder width, chest touching the pad each time). i did 25 followed a two min run around the dojo (slow pace) then 20 and a 2 min run then 15 and a 2 min run and finally 10 with a 2 min run. so here I had designed my circuit, for every exercise I did it would be followed by a 2 min run, each ex decreased on each round. Next i did crunches (feet over box) then Angels (with kettle balls) then med ball press and finally Shoulder kettle lifts.
I enjoyed the workout and throughout I was thinking how I could adapt it for classes for the first part of the week, so far I have come up with about 6 different variants, all of which i intend to go through with the instructors in tomorrow mornings staff training.
