Usually Monday night's are stressful because I have Body Pump the go straight into Boxing. Last night was easier - it was just boxing, or so I thought. I had stupidly gone on an empty stomach. 20 minutes in to the class I almost passed out and puked. It was upsetting and embarrassing. Lesson learned.
Tonight I was much better prepared for PT. I had wholewheat rice prior to going and was totally ready to smash it afterwards. We started off doing a 10 minute cross trainer session then we did a bit of HIIT training. We had to take it in turns: one person ran with 2 6kg dumbbells back and forward twice while the other squatted. Then we swapped. This went on for 4 rounds of 3 minutes with a 2 minute break between sets.
The next part of the session was some fat burn. We did knee raises (30 seconds each leg), squat splits (30 secs) then squatted fast feet (30 secs). Again 4 times through but with 30 seconds rest.
By this point, I would like to add, I was totally done in. Sweaty and broken after my earlier enthusiasm. But we weren't done yet. Next one of us had to do shoulder presses with dumbbells while the other was on the ski machine. Again bursts of 30 seconds before swapping. 4 rounds. Surely we were done? No? Ok, it's fine I will die 😂 exhaustion will kill me. For reals.
Finally we had to plank for bursts of 30 seconds - 4 times. That's a 2 minute plank essentially. 2 minutes. I'm just going to leave that there.
After tonight's session I have signed up for a weight loss class in the gym. It's a 6 week block which teaches about nutrition and exercise. It starts on April 4th so I will update more on that later!
