Morning lovelies, thank you so much for coming back to my blog!
As well as writing about my day to day work in the lab, I'd like to share with you some of my 'extra curricular activities' :p
So here we go.....
In four weeks time I'll be taking part the the Dirty Dozen obstacle course, so my training regime is being taken to a new level. I'm continuing with my usual gym classes but trying to add a few extra 5k runs and any other new exercises I can try (I love adding an insanity workout to my regime once a week).
From start to finish the class was a sweat Fest, even for a very warm day!
The instructor was fantastic, making me feel very comfortable despite the class being full of men! (A couple of girls and the friend who recommended the classes arrived just after the warm up.
The class was mainly cardio based but the crux of the class involved 10 circuits including burpees, star jumps and 4 rounds of punch bags where you just have to go at it as hard and fast as your body and mind will let you! I used the technique I've picked up in Boxercise for the punches which the instructor complemented me on before training me on the technique required for the kicks.
The whole class had an excellent and infectious energy enhanced by the music choice, from old school R&B to empowering Emili Sandé. An all round brilliant class full of energy & power that I can't wait to attend again as I watch my energy levels, technique and body shape improve!
Just a short addition to tell you about a breakfast idea I tried this morning.
Honey Dew Melon! With Avocado??! Yep the combination actually works! This is an energy boosting breakfast packed with vitamins and good fats! (We like 'good' fat!) I also added chia seeds (fantastic for hydration), flax and linseed for a protein boost!
I hope you liked today blog, feel free to comment or make a suggestion, recipes for me to try or a gym class I haven't heard of! Thank you x
