Last Friday I hit the gym for my fitness session. Looked easy. 4 stations 20 seconds each, 10 second rest between, still sounds easy??? Then it was 8 times around. Not easy. Then to top it off, there was another circuit of 4 more exercises.
To be honest with you, here is what happened. I got through the first 4 exercises all 8 times, no problem? No it was really hard but I did it and I was pretty pleased. Then I had to get into the second go round. Different story, I only got through 4 of the 8 rounds and I mean I was done. DONE.
Then I had to work at the store. again to be honest I really did not feel very good the rest of the morning.
For some reason I find this stuff fun. I worked hard I am feeling stronger and that is the best part. It is hard for me to judge though as my trainer keeps making the sessions harder.
Today I did 15 dead lifts, 20 knees to chest, 25 situps 30 push ups 35 walking lunges. times 4. Then there was another set of 2 exercises back to back with 30 second rest(if you can call it that) times 4. I hurt today as write this.
Enjoy the training gang it pays off you will see.
watch on CBC run run revolution. really good show. It is was on last night. All the athletes should see this.

today at the ym
I have been going to a personal trainer for over a year now. With the winter so busy I did not do anything this ski season and did I ever notice that the first week of April. We work for a full half hour, might not sound like much but it is full tilt, non stop exercise after exercise.
For example, today things were for 30 seconds at a time. 30 seconds of jump pull-ups, then two laps on the agility ladder, 30 seconds of sling shot lunges, agaility ladder, 30 seconds box jumps, (the middle sized one),ladder, 30 seconds of large tire flips and burpees, back to the ladder, then as many as I could do push ups with the stretch band around my back and shoulders I did this at least 5 times??
This week has been hard, I am at the gym at 7:30 in the morning, a 15 minute warm-up then the half hour with a retired Pari Officers from the Military. (Frank)
I have been having a harder time this week, not sure why, but this training I think really helps me relate to how the athletes might feel when we as coaches are pushing them hard. I push hard in this, Frank keeps reminding how hard I ask the athletes to work... suddenly I find one or two more reps in me just when I want to move on.
So there we go an example of my work out.
