Centennial Park Group Outdoor Fitness Training workout of the week

Monday, October 12th, 2009

With the clocks winding back last week for Daylight savings, we were greeted with dark mornings reminiscent of those cold winter months, but already one week into daylight savings, it is practically daylight at 6am again. Today’s workout was Body Weight Blast, what an awesome way to kick start the week. 

We grouped the exercises into multiples of 2 , 3 or 4 and repeated each exercise 3 times for 1 minute. 24 people took part and it was, as the name suggests, A BLAST!!!

Here’s what we covered;

Squats, push ups, sit ups, good mornings, sprinter walking lunges, spidermans, roll ups, slow bicycle, single leg stand ups, dips, bench split feet, duck walks, knee to elbow planks, crunch to single leg lowers and side plank lifts.

Wow, we covered the whole body head to toe. Sore muscles will prevail tomorrow, so we’ll do boxing for a bit of fun, movement and aerobic activity.

Well done to everyone, really pushing hard for a solid 35 – 50 min non stop workout. You all looked like you felt it!

My favourite part is the awesome results by a few people who claim to hate and not be good at running. It doesn’t take much effort or a lot of time to change that mind set and run like a champion!
