Wow!!!
What a weekend!
I hope everyone got out and enjoyed the sun,
it really was fab!Long may it continue!
Happy Monday everyone.
My weekend was pretty hectic to say the
least but I still got a workout in.
On Friday I had the taste of Dublin which is
always a great day/night out. Smash hits
were playing which is really the highlight of the event!
The weather held up too which made it even better.
On Saturday after my workout I just chilled in the sun
like everyone else in the Ireland!
We also went to a very impromptu
BBQ, It wasn't a late night as we were
wreaked from the evening before and
the beautiful heat.
So.. I stretched my workout as far as the
outdoors on Saturday and did
it in sun in my back garden. It was roasting as
I'm sure you know but I was not
in the mood to be indoors, in an empty
gym looking out at the sunshine.
My workout:
I wanted to concentrate on arms, abs, back, lats and glutes.
I made my own HiiT workout up with the use of
two 5KG kettle bells, an AB roller and an exercise ball.
The set consisted of:
15-20 reps on ab roller.
15-20 reps of Abdominal side bends with 5kg weight
(above repeated on each side).
15-20 reps of back lifts (on exercise ball) this
targets glutes, lat muscles and back.
15 - 20 reps stomach crunch (on exercise ball).
20 press-ups.
15-20 reps of kettlebell swings.
5 sprints of up/down back garden (cardio to get the heart rate up).
It took me about 30/40 minutes to do
this workout, it was very hot which made it harder
but I enjoyed the cold shower afterwards!
The next day I really felt it on my back and sides,
even now on MondayI'm still a little tender.
Not in a bad way in a good way.
Which is great because I did not think it would
do much so it obviously has. I am going to
continue this once a week as its nice to
step outside the gym walls
into the fresh air and mix it up a bit.
This morning I decided to Jog to work from my bus on
the keys. I get off at the convention centre and usually
cycle from there up the canal to work.
Yet again it was a warm one! I was hoping I
would get there in 20 minutes but that was even a struggle!
The journey is 3KM and it took me 29 minutes which
lets be fair is not a great time!
At least I did it, I'm working late tonight so
I won't get to go to the gym.
Something is better than nothing.
What have you done for your body today?
Get up and enjoy the weather 30/40 minutes you'll
feel great for it!
