Strength training..

Oh god, I am sore as.

As part of the Michelle Bridges 12 wbt you need to alternate between cardio and strength. I showed my PT the strength workout tonight and she reckons we could work harder, and work harder we did.

We did a circuit which included the use of a bar with weights. I did 15 chest presses, 15 squats with the bar on my shoulders, 15 bent standing rows, 20 squats with a dumbell to my chest. I did this four times with a weight of 15kgs on the bar and a 5kg dumbell for the squats.

I then did intervals on the rowing machine. Basically I had to row slowly and then do 30 seconds of hard push rowing where the power needed to be above 50. Normally on the rower a casual row for me is around 25-30, so 50 is a bloody hard slog.

I am feeling good though. I have my 12 wbt weigh in tomorrow, so I will come back and report on the results. I dont have my ww weigh in till saturday, which is my main weigh in :)

Take Care,
Megs xx
