circuit class

I just did a circuit class at the gym. Thought I'd write down what we did - could use it at home with Andrew.

Warm Up - jogging

Work with partner and do three sets of each:

1. Push Ups and Wall Squats
a. Push ups (partner counts) start on toes, move to knees when nec. Keep going till you fatigue.
b. Wall sit squat (both people together). One leg at a time. Watch clock for each leg.

2. Walking Push Ups and Crunches
a. Push ups, face to face with partner, on toes, walking to the right (moving arms and legs) push up, walking to the left, push up. When one person drops, fall to knees and push up from side to side, till someone fatigues. Keep count.
b. Sit ups. Partner holds legs at 90 degrees and counts. Crunch till fatigue. 25 would be average first time.

3. Lunges and Shoulders
a. Lunge, knee 1cm from ground, 2 counts up, 2 counts down till leg till fatigues (should 40+ first time). Repeat with other leg.
b. Shoulders. 2.5 - 5kg weights in each hand. Raise arms to front. If make 20 without fatigue, pulse at top till fatigue.

4. Reindeer run - Towel around waist of one person. Other holds towel from behind. Front person runs, back person tries to stop them. Till fatigue. Swap.
