Just Carla and I today. We did 3 very tough runs and although it does not look like we're moving fast, the effort level was intense. We are both averaging approx' 48 seconds per run, but due to time constraints (I've got to go to work) we had to leave. But oh what joy, I'm doing Greg Francis's Fit2Fite class tonight and not looking forward to flogging myself for an hour. I'll keep you posted!!

Willie Thomas - Regional Karate Squad Session
Wednesday 19th August
The session started with a bang, all participants completed the circuit known as the Super 7. The Super 7 develops anaerobic fitness specific to our needs. Some exercises develop explosive power, whilst others develop core strength. Without boring you with the details it comprises of traditional exercises such as, press ups, sit up, tuck jumps etc at high intensity levels. Bodies flaying, red faces and the gasping for breath meant all was working hard, (some working harder than others!! lol). I am not a strict believer in getting fit in class rather, getting fit for class, but there are advantages to group fitness sessions both physical and psychological.
Five minutes recovery then the Karate starts with some timing drills and pregressing to working on 'line of attack'. The aim of the session was to develop timing, line and distance. Kicking techniques work on in conjunction with line work were Maewashi, Uro Maewashi and Ushiro Geri.

Weight Training
Tuesday 18 August 2009Today I felt good and decided to push the boundaries a little.
Start with bench press and progressed to 90kg for a few reps. Power cleans, done some warm up sets, repped 60kg. Normally progressed to 80kg but today I put 90kg on the bar. Got myself ready, took the strain.......BBBBBBBang, cleaned it. I am actually going for 100kg so I'm happy with my new '1 rep max'. finished off with 120kg dead lifts.
Carla lifted well today, She was down on her bench but much improved on her power cleans. She cleans 80% of her bodyweight and pulls to shrug position at body weight. CV tomorrow!!
