It has been a week or so since I updated the blog and I thought that it was time that got my a**e into gear and told you where I am at!
I have now had a specific programme designed for me to train and boy is it a challenge! Thank you to Gina for putting me through my paces and for pointing me in the right direction. The programme is built around what Gina endearingly calls "horrible intervals" - and they are pretty horrible and they certainly push me to the limit but I feel great afterwards!
I start with a warm-up and then one set of "horrible intervals" then toning based around squats and lunges with hand weights to tone and build the upper body with a little bit of rotational variation to work the core; then another set of "horrible intervals" followed by upper body combined with core on the stability ball; the final stage is another set of "horrible intervals" and the cool-down.
I have to admit that after my first time through the programme I had trouble getting up and down a flight of stairs without my legs burning but as I discused with Gina if I can really enjoy the experience next year as well as complete it then it will be fantastic.
As a bonus, I have lost another 2lb, so that makes it half a stone in just a matter of weeks!
Fundraising is going steady but I have had a few ideas on how to ramp it up a bit, so hopefully that is going to gain momentum over the next few weeks or so. Also my Mum has a plan of attack for the people that she knows - God Bless Mums!
