Well I had all but talked myself out of training today, but I thought with the schedule here in Canberra I have tomorrow I wouldn’t get a chance to train tomorrow, so I toughed it out and headed to the gym, still with my tail between my legs from the pain of Saturday mornings fitness session.

I thought it a great opportunity for me to do one of the fitness testing protocols, so i have a few sessions i can go back to and test my levels in a months time.

I chose to do Cindy today… ( doesn’t sound quite right does it???)

Anyway the program is a very straight forward measurement of completing as many complete rounds as possible in 20 mins.

Exercises              Reps

chin ups                       5 ( again on the assisted chin at 19kg)

push ups                     10

squats                          15

pretty basic and straight forward and I found this session to be ok. Once I got the legs warmed up and moving it seemed alright.

Wasn’t overly fussed on this fitness session. My cardiovascular felt good today. I must admit that my muscles still got fully pumped up and I can’t believe how much doing your own body weight squats really does hurt after a while.

Sets Completed:  17

Avg HR:             160

Calories:          331

Session rating : 5/10

At the end I found myself sweating heavily but I found it to be the easiest session to date. In saying that it was still tough and not something I would give to my Personal Training clients or my Canberra Bootcamp clients.
