Summer has arrived!!!

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!

Thats all for now thanks for

reading!
