Finally picking up 90 comfortably again☝️
Really good session today getting some heavy squats out before hitting lots of glutes and hamstrings
Glute activation
Heavy squats
Single leg leg press
Single leg stiff leg deads
Negative leg curls
After pre exhausting quads with leg extensions, controlling these squats without locking out was a massive struggle managed to get through 5 sets of 20,15,12,10,8 increasing the weight each time.
Yesterday's finisher..
Awesome work rate yesterday from the girls as always, looking forward to seeing even more progression through the next few weeks
Today's cardio was...
5 x 200m sprints
10 x burpie to pull up
10 x kettle bell swings
10 x box jumps
10 x jump lunges
5 rounds
Safe to say I was verrry sweaty by the end!
Decent back session with Nath today!! Team shorty killed it
First time deadlifting for a while, worked up to sets of 8 at 80kg, very determined to get my strength back!
Synchronised cable kickbacks to finish off our glute session
First superset in Kirsty's session today.. Very tough with lots of reps on both exercises, powered through all of it though! Considering at the start of the session she said 'I'm feeling quite tired today' she gave the best energy!!
Single leg curls combined with negatives have given me some unreal doms this morning!!
Snippets of today's chest session! Stuck to low reps on bench press making it up to 60kg for a few sets of 3, then went for volume on all other exercises
Little bro had me running all over the place! Loved being back on the court though✔️
Brutal sets of 15 to start yesterday's volume session
Snippets from tonight's back and rear delts session, massive volume with loads of dropsets
For yesterday's cardio we turned the gym into a playground
HIIT Training
Amazing efforts from Jo as per and her transformations so far are incredible! Hard works paying off and can't wait for even more changes over the next few weeks!!
Trying low bar squats for the first time today felt super weird but definitely gonna stick at it!! And super proud that I squatted a few sets @90kg with no pad on the bar, finally toughening up✔️
I didn't have time to get to the gym today so instead I was creative and did a home workout finishing off with Spider-Man push-ups!
Use the move to build strength in your chest and triceps, while increasing core muscle activation.
Pushups can be a good way to work on your upper body strength, but there are many variations that you can do besides the basic exercises that you learned in P.E. classes.
Since you are only supporting yourself on three points of contact when you move your leg forward, this means that your abdominals and other core muscles have to work harder to maintain stability.
No gym? No problem!
HIIT Training proved to my client that cardio is NOT easy!
Benefits of high intensity interval training:
- Burns more fat
- Efficient (15 minutes of HIIT training can be more effective than a full hour at a moderate pace on the treadmill)
- Equipment isn't necessary
- Lose fat, not muscle!
- Increase metabolism
- Can be done anywhere
- It can be made fun, kept exciting and challenging by using a variety of exercises.
