had my usual saturday today spending the morning and afternoon with my gorgeous daughter whom i wish i could be with every day. after i left her back at her mum's i went back to the gym for the circuits class and, it was a great bodyweight cardio class this afternoon. just what i wanted after last weeks torture!
in this one we work in pairs, so whilst i am doing the exercises, my partner is resting (albeit supposed to be doing step ups), and vice versa. so this is how it goes:
round 1: 30 bicycle crunches
round 2: 30 bicycle crunches + 12 power squats
round 3: 30 bicycle crunches + 12 power squats + 10 press ups.
You get the picture...you do the previous set and then add another exercise so the pyramid looks like this.
30 bicycle crunches +
12 power squats +
10 press ups +
9 burpees +
8 shuttles runs (length of studio) +
7 crunches +
6 gun raises (power lunges) +
5 tricep push ups +
4 reverse crunches +
3 press ups and start jumps +
2 high knee shuttle runs +
1 tuck jump
whoa! that sounds like hard work. and then, guess what? when you've finished all that you have to do the pyramid circuit back in reverse!
I partnered up with Mark again, and guess what, we completed the whole circuit first. Wow, we must both be fit as there are some pretty fit people who do circuits on a saturday.
I did the body attack class afterwards. Mark had to give up after about 4 or 5 tracks, he must be getting old. we're getting the next routine in a couple of weeks and i can't believe it's now 3 months since hearing some classic old tunes like abba's "knowing me knowing you" and joan jett and the blackhearts "i hate myself for loving you!" amongst some others. i really wonder what the next routine will hold in store? some great music i hope and fun aerobics i hope.
i will keep you posted with my progress on my fat loss quest. the next weigh in will be on wednesday
keep the faith
