Group Personal Training update

I never would have imagined that I would do 300 squats, 200 push ups, 100 burpies in about 20 minutes but that's what we did today. That was after running 1.5 miles.

It started innocently enough. 4 squats, 2 push ups, 1 burpie. But you work up to 30 squats, then back down. If we had tried that earlier I wouldn't have made it.

Today 11 weeks into the session wasn't an issue. In fact I found myself dancing in the shower to the music over the pa system. There have definitely been some changes. I'm going to be sad when the 12 weeks are over.

The key to these workouts has been interval training, intensity, variety. Variety has made it fun because you know you are doing something new each day. The intervals give you a bit of a rest it's like a reward for getting through that last set. Intensity, we started out at a high intensity and have gradually increased.
