I woke this morning feeling energized from yesterdays training session. I have been training with Nathan now for 6 weeks and must admit it has been tough, but I’m starting to feel like I’m achieving some improvements in muscle tone and am not struggling for breath in the sessions as much as I was just a couple of weeks ago.
“Training Tip”
We did some “drop setting” yesterday which involves using a heavy weight to failure and then removing some weight and continuing right away to get some more reps out. This really burns and is aimed at increasing muscular endurance more so than increasing overall strength. It certainly leaves you “feeling the burn” and is perfect if you have been training heavily for a while and need to fit in a lighter but intense work out.
My highlight of the sessions would have to be the raised leg lunges which I didn’t think I would manage, but surprising myself, I did them well and am pleased to say I could have done a few more. Seeing this, Nathan added we could do another set!!! Ha ha, he does have a great sense of humour.
I am starting to feel the beginning of some muscle stiffness today, but will get out for some easy cardio later and a stretch, which should settle that down.
I’m feeling great bring on next week!
