It. Was. Tough.
She chose to do upper body with me today which would have been ace but I did it two days ago and my arms were aching even when I put my rucksack on this morning... Imagine my joy at doing 9kg bicep curls... Or 25kg bent over rows.
Felt good though- I always watch the PT sessions going on in the gym and secretly steal ideas... Also it made me confident that a year of watching YouTube vids, reading women's fitness and spying on fellow gym goers has actually given me all the right tools and moves to know a bit about exercise and weight training :)
But then she introduced me to HIIT Training. WOW. So it's 30 seconds sprinting on the treadmill, jump off for 30 seconds and repeat for 20 minutes!!! Sprinting, not jogging, not running. I actually enjoyed it (soz) but I was literally dying and we only did 12 mins today?!
Anyway she told me it burns calories way quicker than running so come on guys get on it!!!
(Practise jumping off the treadmill first at a slower speed!)
Upper body work out:
Chest press- 3 sets of 10 reps s (30 second breather between sets)
Bent over row- 3 sets of 10 reps (30 second breather between sets)
Overhead extension- 3 sets of 10reps (30 second breather between sets)
Bicep curls- ( elbows glued to your waist!)- 3 sets of 10 reps s (30 second breather between sets)
Can't wait to put my ruck sack on tomorrow morning. 😳😳😳
