We started last night with a brief strength session:
Abs - 10x roll outs, 15x crunches, 15x leg scoops, 15x raise/lower legs, 15x leg throws
Shoulders - 30x push ups, 30x weighted arm raises, 15x overhead presses
Triceps - 30x kickbacks on each arm, 15 tricep pushups
I need to work out a weekly schedule. Being January, we're pretty flexible so I should be able to work him pretty hard. [Just so you know, Andrew is not unfit. He was training for a marathon last year and could run for 3.5 hours without a break. He got injured in June and hasn't been able to run since. He just needs some gentle wifely encouragement to start trying some different sorts of exercise!]
Maybe something like this?
Sunday - Both of us - Swim 1.5km
Monday - Me pump class, Andrew - cardio circuit - skipping and boxing + some strength
Tuesday - Me circuit class, Andrew - Abs, chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, shoulders + legs
Wednesday - Me - swim, Andrew - big time cardio (jumping etc)
Thursday - Day off
Friday - Me - cardio class, Andrew - swim.
Saturday - Both - strength
PT - physiotherapist, part-time, public transport, posterior-tibial, Problem Tracker, primary tumour, Primary Tutor, Protocol Tester etc. I love acronymns!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be taking this veeeeery seriously. Are you going to enter him in Mr Natural Presbyterian or something?
ReplyDeleteI've been on a re-tox diet for the past month or so. The thought of anything other than a sedate trundle to the shop on the corner for a bag of chips fills me with inexpressible fear.
That sounds great! My husband and I are starting C25k this week, and I'm going to get back into doing weights at the gym - hopefully get along to some Body Pump classes.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your workout sessions together!
Lara - hope your C25K goes well. My friend stared in the middle of last year and is now running 9kms. Andrew and I will only work out together a couple of times a week. Mostly I will be sitting on the couch telling him what to do!
ReplyDeleteAl - Ha! Andrew has been re-toxing for the last 7 months. Time for something new!
Wendy - Personal Trainer. It's when someone gives you permission to boss them around.
Al - I'm just hoping to get into that well known publication the PWA 'Men of the Presbytery' Calendar. I'm sure there can be a month for you too.
ReplyDeleteAndrew. I'll be Mr November if Phil Campbell agrees to be Mr December.
