Training Diary - Week 3, Saturday

I love Saturday's! I love that my Saturday's are so predictable fitness wise, so much so, I am pre entering my training diary for Saturday. I am feeling very inspired and in control at the moment. Today was a lovely Friday, bit quiet at work so I took myself off to the gym to do pump and boxing as planned and it was a great double session.

As the classes are at lunchtime they run quite quickly but still managing 45-50mins.... pump was great I managed to go up in squats, haven't been doing pump religiously for over a year now as it does tend to let you get into bad habits (heavy weights on the bar, continuous movements for 3-4 mins per track) I felt strong today, hence having 15kgs on the bar for the squat track.

I started with just 10kgs on the bar, but the song was Rogue Traders - Voodoo Child, an awesome song for squats so whacked on another 5kgs... yeah... the problem I have with doing pump is that my wrist extensors have limited flexibility and tend to give way before the big muscles, aka legs, back.... frustrating.

Boxing was by Jamie, irish guy who really uses his knowledge in boxing to get you working hard - not a sport for the chicks who don't want to sweat or for those trying to look pretty for the lads in the class (NOTE great place to check out the lads, 80% class are male...nice work Dons). I was teamed up with a girl who had never done boxing before, so my PT skills came in and she was boxing well.
