As one of Tim’s interns on his induction programme he is putting us through or paces in many different ways. One way in which he is doing this is that we are experiencing first hand what it is like be a Getfit client, so everything that Tim or Jess are asking there clients to do we are doing it!!, so that we know exactly what you are experiencing and how best to help you in the future.
One of the Getfit fundamentals is form and function, this is the training principles of our training. As part of this we ask you to do a 45 min programme with your trainer 2-3 times a week and a cardio interval work out of 25 mins, 2-3 times a week.
So how have I done so far??(not sure what Tim thinks though!;o) I really enjoyed the different exercises that were in the 45 min workout, some of them were familiar others not, on the whole a good muscular workout.
Now for the Cardio intervals…… most commonly we ask this to be done on the treadmill……as soon as I found out this I was not happy!!!, for some reason I have always had a fear of running, something to do with those cross country runs they made us do at school, I hated them with a passion!!
Anyway it goes like this 5min warm up on the treadmill, then run at 90% effort, then rest for 2 mins by walking, repeat this 5 times. Once the last one has been finished, cool down with a light jog and then to a walk over a 5min period.
….so how did I do? Well I certainly finished rather red faced and very sweaty, drip drip! I actually did allot better than I thought I would and felt that I could have even pushed myself that little bit further, not bad for never really running before.
I think a solid positive first try and if you put that with the fact that your only really working hard for 5 mins. Even with that short amount of work the cardio interval is the best way to boost your metabolism and reduce your body fat, don’t think I can argue with that, so much so that I have booked my next one already!!! bring on the Cardio Intervals!!!!……..
