6pm: Max Strength/Endurance Training

I have a love/hate relationship with my trainers. Well hang on, I am a trainer! I have a love/hate relationship with myself too. I know that it is good for me to work out, I know that it is necessary to have a healthy body and sound mind. But seriously, why can't watching tv be a sport? Watching people train on tv, like I'm working out with them....in my mind. No? No. Love it or hate it we all have to find some form of movement that works for us, something we don't dread! It can be as extreme as Cross-fit training or as calming as Tai Chi. Whatever it is, no amount of dieting is going to shift those kilos if you don't move your ass...so off I go! Here's the workout for today...

5 DB single arm squat press
10 BB bent over row
15 burpees (an evil, evil endurance move, kind of like doing a starfish jump and a pushup)
20 walking lunges

5 sets-1 min rest after lunges

Core: 45sec side bridge hold
4 sets

WISH ME LUCK!

7am: Speed & Power Training

End of week 2 at the gym and I just finished training for the day. As many reps of a movement as you can in 20 seconds, 4 different movements. Focus is on speed so we use a lighter weight, great cardio workout too...

20 sec KB lateral chop
20 sec MB wall throw
20 sec KB swing
20sec SA SB Alt press
5 sets, 40 sec rest in between

Finished off with a bear crawl for core strengthening, however I am a total unco with this movement, definately not a bear in my last life.
