The Wet Look....Sweat Head!

Me when I am mentally preparing to exercise

Enter Week 02


Tuesday (Session 03/16)

To be honest, I had started to dread this session after the killer that was the first personal training meeting on Saturday.  However after a brief respite on Sunday it wasn't half bad and I threw myself straight back into it.  Weirdly I seem to be meeting only people with names of those in my office.  So far I have met a Martin and a Joe (makes life easier I suppose if I start to develop amnesia caused by repeated head blows)

Different to last week, this session was taken by Nayan so true to his style that he demonstrated on the Saturday this session was very cardio heavy.  We went over old ground of the classic jab and cross however started to move onto defensive drills of blocks and parrys.

Thursday (Session 04/16)

This session was taken by the mighty Faisal.  This session focused upon building on what we had learnt so far.  We also tested each other's stance by whacking each other from side to side with our gloves, a bit like the duel event in gladiators.  This session wasn't any easier though, especially given the state of my gym attire at the end of the session.....

Notice the tiny dry part of my shirt in the bottom right hand corner...eugh!

Saturday 

(Private Session 02)

A slightly less brutal training session from Nayan today (however as I was to find out, he was saving Nayan's Killer Cardio until the group session an hour later!) as so not to kill me dead for the group session to follow after.  In this session Nayan helped me to get my footwork right, improving and correcting my stance, as well as honing my jab, cross and blocks.  I already feel some improvement to my basic boxing ability.

(Extra group Session 01)

And so back to Nayan's killer cardio!  A great session as there were only 11 of us so we all got lots of  1 to 1 help during the drills.  We finished this session in true brutal fashion with a fitness test:

1) Squarts

2) Burpees

3) Press Ups

4) Mountain Climbers

We did 60 seconds of each and noted down our numbers with the intention of redoing this in the 6th Saturday session to compare our results.

That's all for this week.  I have to confess, due to an insanely busy few week, I am behind on my blog so I am stretching my memory back!

Will try harder next time ;-)

Thanks for reading last week's take on life :-)

P.S I didn't punch myself in the face this week!
