First ever session with Team Captain and trainer Phillip Marino. Can be summed up in four letters. O U C H.
warmup lap of Wentworth Park (10:30)
circuit of nasty exercises each for two minutes:
Push up with side plank in between
Sprawlers ( burpees without the jump)
Crunches with oblique twist (legs off the ground)
Squats
Mountain climbers
Sideways jump over a bar
Pushups
Lunges
Pushups with spiderman
Crunches
X 3 circuits
Nasty as single leg forward extensions with 10 small circles in each direction, followed by holding leg in extended position. These were done in pairs with your partner doing a low squat while holding their hand out for you to circle with your foot.
5 x single leg squats to sitting position. I couldn't do this so I did 10 x single leg squats to as far as I could without my form going to hell.
Duck walks x 2 mins (basically a walking lunge but without standing straight in between so going from lunge to lunge without your head changing height.
Walking lunges with martial arts style knee in between x 2 mins
Walking lunges with knee and front kick x 2 mins
Swinging on monkey bars (I almost managed to swing to 1 bar).
Climbing across play equipment without touching ground (defeated by monkey bars again)
2 x long hill sprints, 3 x short hill sprints.
Struggled with embarrassment about being the slowest and weakest link. However, the team are very supportive.
I'm going to suffer tomorrow!
