Personal training workouts

I thought I would do OK this morning as I’d kept up my running and a little bit of strength work over the break. Wrong, wrong, wrong…

Planned workout abandoned by trainer after four rounds because I looked like such a dead dog. Anyhow, here’s how we started off.

Warmup: 10 minutes on the treadmill.
Circuit 1: 8 chinups (hah – not a chance – exercise changed to 8 lat pulldowns @100 pounds)
15 shoulder presses with 6kg dumbells
15 renegade rows (6kg dumbells, pushup with a row, at this weight I do these off my knees)
15 bicep curls with a 15kg bar
15 burpees

5 minutes to complete. If I do it in less than 5 I get a rest otherwise off I go again.

After 20 minutes of this I was wheezing like a demon. As it was the first session of the year, mercy was shown and the circuit was changes to…

Circuit 2: 500 metre run as fast as I can go (which is not terribly fast at this stage of proceedings)
10 situps
10 russian twists
10 oblique twist situps on each side
10 back extensions

Same deal as before 5 minutes to complete. I managed three repeats of this before I did a five minute cooldown. Would have loved to have gone home for a lie down but I had to go to work…
