I had my first session with my new personal trainer this morning and absolutely loved it. It was a session so she could see how fit I am and my form. It was also nice to be outside doing the workout. As much as I love the gym it is nice to get outside and enjoy the scenery - we were lucky the rain stayed away too.
We did some circuit training mixing strength and cardio and then an ab circuit - I can feel the muscles in my butt and my abs even now an hour after I finished. That's some quick working exercises!
I've been back in the gym this week with a focus on weights because its what I enjoy the most, however there has been some cardio too. A good mix of working all my body parts, although still struggling with lunge a bit because when I put my bad knee backwards its quite painful but aside from that everything was working well and I was happy with the weights I was lifting/pushing.
I also re-signed to the 12wbt this week for the June round. I know I need the guidance again, I find having the set plans and workouts is easy for me to follow and definitely helps with my discipline around food and exercise.
I did lose 500g last week so since I've taken some time to refocus and try and establish routines again it is starting to have dividends which is pleasing to see. I know my diet could still be a lot better so that really is my key focus, with my secondary focus being to add strength through my training.
Interestingly, last time I did the 12wbt program both rounds were set at 1200 calories, I'm doing the same program as the last one I did but this time the calories will be at 1500 so I'm interested to see how this is done, whether its eating larger meals or more snacks etc. I can access my first meal plans from the end of this coming week with the official start date 23 June.
