Sweat xtrainer !

Its repetition day the equivalent of mile reps on the xtrainer......

4 mins warm up level 5 which is a good warm up h/r 125

6 mins level 8 h/r 165bpm

2 mins 30 secs rest (last week I took 3 mins, so I cut the recovery but I am not sure I will make it through all 6 reps). h/r 115 lower than warm up weird!

6 mins level 8 hard h/r 165

2 mins 30 secs rest level 5

7mins level 8 hard h/r 168 oops miscalculated I sort of realised but it felt really bad upto 6 mins, then after 6.20 it felt sort of okay I could tolerate it but it was hard

2 mins rest level 5 h/r 125 ( cut it again by 30secs really wanted to push it now)

6 mins level 8 hard h/r 170

2 mins level 5 recovery

6 mins level 8 hard h/r 178

2 mins recovery level 5

7 mins level 9 gave it my all this was so hard I felt sick yeah I felt sick on the xtrainer really pushed myself. my lungs were bursting I was making noises ha ha just like when I do mile reps so this is gooooood yea :-O

Sweat rating well the shower look :O

I walked on the mill under the air conditioning blower for 5 mins I was hot !

I did my weight legs sidie things same on both machines (one you push ya legs out and the other you squeeze em together but both of these machines really get my hips great strength), I even do one legged ones for my left leg!

Swiss ball and core work. the bridge one legged bridge, two legged etc

Swiss ball new record 5 mins 35 secs WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

So i did it again 3 mins 23 secs

then I did it again but with a medicine ball and I held my arms out straight then did the twist side to side slowly this was hard omg I did 10 reps twice really hard shakey shakey.

Did the plank on the swiss ball too,

then the one legged plank well I fell off the ball some silly PT trainer made me laugh ha
