Training with Shannon Ponton part 1
Well not sure what is going at the moment. but really struggling to get on top of this cough that I have at the moment.
Been sick now for about a month and can’t seem to shake it.
Still trying to soldier on with the fitness training though as I only have a few days left till I head to Sydney for Cross Fit.
The last couple of sessions have been quite disappointing, as I am struggling to get any oxygen into the lungs.
Thursday -
60kg Deadlift x 15 reps
40kg Hang Cleans x 12 reps
40kg front Squats x 9kg
40kg Push Jerk x 6
x 5 rounds for time ( was supposed to do 60kg for all exercises but I am not at that level)
Time: 17.17
The weekend saw me in Wagga Wagga with Shannon Ponton for the Xcler8 Fitness Centre final day’s of their ”Biggest Winner Challenge” and gala ball. It was a great weekend and I would like to say congratulations to the Top 10.
Also a big congratulations to Ash & Kerry from Xceler8 Fitness Centre for running such a wonderful event, some local charity organisations have really benefited from the event.
So Friday saw Shannon Ponton & myself bust out a training session in the afternoon. Unfortunately Shannon is recovering from a shoulder injury so was quite limited with his training, but he enjoyed watching the pain I put myself through
Did a version of ‘The Dirty Thirties’ with Shannon Ponton watching closely:
30 x push ups
30 x 26kg D/B Swings
rower ( 30 calories)
30 x burpee to 24′ box squat jump
30 x air squats
x 3 rounds for time ( accidentally switched my watch off during the session so no recorded time)
Anyway finished off the session and Shannon and I headed down the huge main street of Wagga to grab a feed and relax before the gala ball on later that evening.
I must say it would take some adjusting to being a celebrity, when you can’t even walk down a street without being stopped by people, and people staring at you whispering to each other, is that him , is that him???
I must say Shannon Ponton handles himself very well and is so relaxed and open to the public to stop and talk and take photos at any given time.
It really is a pleasure to see a person so passionate about the fitness industry and helping people out at all times with any questions they may have.
