New Video For You - Snatches, Swings, Burpees, = Magic 50!

Here is a killer work out i did last week!



Putting several whole body movements together like this will really test your conditioning levels and ability to keep going when you start to want to stop!



You can do exactly the same workout with a dumbbell, but the only ones i have at home have spinlock collars which can come undone if not careful!



If you have a go at something similar let me know.

Changed Things Up Recently?

When did you last shift the focus of your training?

I'm not talking about jumping on the bandwagon of the newest shiny gadget or the latest celebrity 'must be seen to be doing'!

I'm not talking about radically changing from one type of exercise to another.

Simply a shift of focus, which might actually be quite subtle.

My reps and therefore loads have been changing every few weeks for much of this year. I find it a nice approach - keeps things fresh and focussed.

Now i'm going to give my format a bit of a change. There will still be a couple of specific lifting days, one heavier, and one faster. 3 more days will contain sprint intervals, circuit training, some weighted and bodyweight challenges etc.

Some of these sessions will be pretty brief but the intensity will be pretty brutal.

I'm hoping to at least maintain my strength (improving it in some areas), and drastically improve my general conditioning and endurance.

Looking forward to a challenging 4 weeks of this.

How about you?

Our bootcampers started their next 4 weeks today also. They have the benefits of their focus being changed for them. Can't wait to see their progress while enjoying my own!
