CAMBRIDGE!

SUCH A SICK DAY!

Although half way through the day it was raining and wet it was still a really good day. Did my first symmetrical muscle up - it was a pretty quick one too.

Learned a lot from Owen and the other two cambridge guys (can't remember their names) And was a really good day. Very glad that I got the chance to go and will definitely be returning soon!

CAMBS!

I'm going to Cambridge today, full write up this evening.

It's going to be awesome.

BYE!

Tuesday

Today I did my conditioning very late, but after I had finished my homework.

I figured today should be lower body because I do trampolining and thats all lower body strength I'm using.

TUESDAY:
squats. reps of 25. 2 sets
10 exlposive squats
200 shin raisers
50 calf raisers
ski sit (against wall) for 15 secs, 30 secs,45 secs and finally 60 secs

Stretching

Standing with my heels and bum against a wall. Then trying to reach down and touch my toes without moving my heels or bum. Quite hard :D (For me anyway)

1 min quad stretches
1 min calf stretches
1 min hamstring stretches
Then just shaking about, loosening my muscles and general stretching.


I found a great thing for warming down and relaxing.
Close your eye's and twist from one side (so if you're facing forwards you'd twist and face one side and then twist again to face the other side)
Start quickly, but then slow down until only your hands are moving (only your hands! at the start you want to be twisting your hips and moving your feet)

It'll help you relax. If you don't understnad i'll show u.

ADIOS

Right, It's time to get myself sorted out.

Tomorrow is the 1st of October. I'm going to start conditioning PROPERLY. That means sticking to my routine (which I am in the process of making) ,not skipping out exercise and varying my workouts.

I'm also going to get school sorted out. From now on I'm going to try and do all my homework when I get home from school, or at least an hour after I get home. That way I can have the rest of the day to do what I want and not worry about homework. Also means more training time :). I'm gonna try and listen in class, do well in important subjects and focus on the task I have to do.

I feel my parkour skill level has gone done a lot so I'm going to train more and set myself goals for each time I go out and train.

My conditioning timetable will look like this:

MONDAY:
General fitness, posterior chain, core strength and back.

30 seconds skipping as fast as I can. x 3
Go for a run, work on speed and stamina.
1 legged glute ham raises. reps of 5. x 4
Plank hold 30 secs. x 3
Superman hold (back) 20 secs. x 3

I'll finish the rest of teh week later .

Running

Went to the gym today and ran. I started off just jogging and then went flat out for 2 mins and then just jogged for another 10 mins. Managed to do about 3.5km in 15 mins and then went on the cross trainer to cool down and get my heart rate down. Finished it all off my stretching and doing a few pressups.

I'm doing cross country tomorrow for school so wish me luck!
