Holiday Program

Barbara on December 19th, 2007

Yes I know they are usually for kids, but mine is a little different LOL.

This is my holiday program (which I’ll be doing over the next two weeks) with free weights and a lovely running track around the local lake :)

Every Second Day

  • 15-20 min jog (yes, just a jog - I am on holiday remember LOL)
  • B/B Squat - 5 x 15
  • Prone Ab Hold - 5 x 30sec
  • Bent Over Row - 5 x 10
  • Push Ups - 5 x 10
  • Walking Lunges - 4 x 20
  • B/B Military Press - 4 x 15
  • Dips (feet up) - 3 x 20 (yeah - feet up, he must have seen me doing them easily with my feet on the floor - should be fun LOL)
  • B/B Curls - 3 x 20

Every other day

  • 15-20 minute jog
  • Abs, Abs, Abs & more Abs LOL

Not sure what ab exercises to do yet but will probably do crunches, reverse knees, twists and leg raises - that will get them burning :)

Early Assessment

Barbara on December 19th, 2007

I had my “early” assessment today so that I could get a program to take on holiday with me. My last assessment was only 2 & 1/2 weeks ago so this one wasn’t really a “proper” one although my trainer still weighed and measured me. I am pleased to say that all up I have lost 22.5cms (from the waist, hips, legs & chest), I have dropped 4% bodyfat and only 3.8 kilo which is awesome for the small amount of time I have been training. I’ll be taking my holiday program with me (of course) along with my weights so I can train while we are away. My trainer said that when I get back, I can continue my bulk up programs for another two weeks before he wants to change everything (diet, weights, cardio sessions etc). Sounds like that will be fun :P and I am looking forward to the challenge :)
