Week beginning 21 Sept 09

Due to recent pressures at work I took a week off and returned this week with circuit training and weight training. The circuit is a martial arts derived fitness session 'MAD' for short and a series both generic exercises and martial arts. It's main aim is the condition the body to fighting rounds and develop all the fitness components necessary for fitness.

It includes pad work, footwork, and partner work to add specifity to the circuit. For those who are periodizing their training different phases and exercise types are included to enhance the specific components of speed, strength and power in addition to technique. Watch this space for video footage on future posts.

In the near future I will be taking MAD sessions on a thursday night and all are welcome. lol
