Strength & sweat

My personal training routine has undoubtedly given me extra strength & fitness to achieve my running goals. I have a sense of dread/excitement at the prospect of circuits & intervals every Tuesday. & I know that without my trainer Stevie's encouragement & persuasion I clearly wouldn't motivate myself through another round of push ups or pull ups!! But I always leave the gym feeling highly satisfied & amazingly energised & significantly sweaty!!!

My exercises tonight -

X12 squat & shoulder press
1min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30secs@17k per hour (fast)

30 secs core & upper body work on a block
1min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30secs@17k per hour (fast)

X12 step ups on bench with weight bar
1min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30secs@17k per hour (fast)

X12 pull ups using straps from nearly horizontal
1min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30secs@17k per hour (fast)

X12 rotation pulls on both sides keeping arms straight & twisting
1min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30 secs@17.5k per hour (faster)

Repeated all the circuit exercises then...
1 min treadmill :: 30secs@10.5k speed + 30secs@18k per hour (super fast!!)

Finished off with a roll around on the massage setting on the power plate for 10mins. Happy to be done for another week. Feeling fit.
