Enjoyable training....

Hey peeps!!

I never thought I would say this but I am loving training!!
GAA training this year is so enjoyable. Every Monday we do
a strength and conditioning class in Platinum Gym Balbriggan with
one of their trainers Sinead! She is fab a she comes from a GAA background she knows exactly
the type of training we need.
on Monday she changed it up again, it was another level if I'm honest.
We did the below:

1. Gobblet squats with 10kg kettlebell
2.Single arm swings 5kg weights
3.Lunges
4.Side lunges
5. Alternating arm plank
6.Mountain climbers
7.T push-ups
8.Russian twist lunge
9.Bent over row with two 5kg weights
10.Squat with over head kettlebell lift

We went through the circuit starting from the top
each exercise was 1 min long adding the next exercise on each time.

So it went like so:
Exercise 1 for one minute ,then 20 second break
Exercise 1 and straight into 2, 20 second break
1,2,3 then break
and so on adding one exercise after each break and starting at number one each time.
It was tough but I loved it.

Our finisher was the up-right plank.
The whole team paired up and faced each other in two lines.
We had to move into the middle tip our partners hand and move back while staying
in the upright plank position. 10 tips in the middle was the aim. 


I am going to join Iornworx Gym tomorrow I love it down
there!

Anyway time for me to sleep I promise i'll post more
about my training and food over the coming days.

Chow for now

One bad week...

Hi Peeps!

I hope you all had a great weekend!
The Dubs sure did! Three wins this weekend with Dublin v Kerry senior footballers, Dublin v Wexford in the hurling and the Dublin ladies beating the kingdom also.



I was in Croke park the weekend to support the boys in blue.

So as you know I have not updated the blog in about a week. So sorry!
I'm not going to lie sticking to plan when I was sick did not exactly happen. All I wanted was energy and I found myself not being as strict with my food choices.
It's also exactly a week since I did any training, I'm better now as it was just a head cold but I didn't want to risk it getting worse and going down into my chest. Hense why I didn't workout.

So today I am back on track. I also have my strength and conditioning class 
with O'Dwyers ladies. I am dreading it as tonight I will see and feel the effects of no training 
last week. I will more than likely be even sorer than usual tomorrow.

Chow for now
