Well my program is going to start to change for the New Year.
I want to add in more martial arts so this week I started training
with Rich, who used to teach at Tony Martin’s gym and is
now doing a women’s only class at the ABA. The class hasn’t
officially started so if you are interested email me or call in at
the shop and I can tell you about it. It is going to be Monday
and Wednesday nights at the ABA in Mt Eden. My friend
Bonnie came on Wednesday night for a pre intro class and
we both sweated up a storm. Rich had us doing walking lunges,
shadow boxing, jumping up stairs, skipping – nothing gets
you super lean like boxing. Just look a boxer. Whenever I have
added boxing in my abs are full on.
The class will be from beginner to advance, like Renee a girl who is
there who has done 4 fights and back for more. Go girl!
You don’t have to fight either. I dont’ know if I will or not, maybe
later in the year. Right now I just like the training and they
are teaching us technique. So the official start date is Feb 2nd
and it will run for 12 weeks.
What else did I do this week – The weather has been on and
off and a few days with the night classes I found it harder to
get up and train in the morning so I did some metabolic/body
weight workouts at home. I got some mean stuff going.
I seriously can do the most crancking workout in 20-30 minutes where I am busting my butt in the space of the square in front
of the till at the shop.
Think skipping, jumping jacks, Burpees (everyone hates those)
half burpees (I think worse) jump lunges (brutal) and some abs
with lots of planks. Pushups. You dont need any equiptment.
I did a light stretching yoga at home on Wednesday morning
as I was quite sore from the past two workouts. On Tuesday I went
hard again on arms and was feeling it.
Got one more workout this week – either tomorrow or Sunday
I’ll see how I feel as I am in the store tomorrow so it is whether I
feel like getting up early or not.
Tonight Jase and Ricki are going to the cricket if the weather
holds up for 20/20. I might go after work as I have never seen
a live cricket game. Sunday is my day off and it is my good friend
Britta’s birthday so hopefully the sun stays out as we are having
an afternoon bash.
On 2nd thought maybe I will get my lazy butt out of bed tomorrow
so that I can have Sunday off as a chill day to relax and enjoy
birthday stuff.
Rest days are important. You should have AT LEAST ONE
per week.
