Spinning & other fitness classes

[Turkish]

has anyone ever done this? I did my first class tonight and it is f*cking hard work. I thought i was quite fit until about 30 minutes in and my legs virtually seized up. Loved it though and will be going back next week.

 

The toughest class i have ever done was circuit training at the old Solent Health club in lodge road, taken by a guy called Ty who was some sort of ex army and Fire service PT instuctor and it showed, killer of a class but did the trick. A hour of intesive, sprints, press ups, sit ups, dips etc.

If you really want to work out to the point of being unable to walk or stand, try a ballet class

 

Many years ago, some footballers did this with a Russian Ballet company. They couldn't cope.

 

I used to get a number of amateur footballers, athletes and weight-lifters at my fitness classes. They couldn't cope.

I've heard about this you know, supposed to be really tough, no wonder most Ballerinas have such cracking figures That'd be my get out i am afraid, to many distractions for me to focus on the job in hand!

Hey that reminds me, how is SRS's training going for the Great South Run?

the only training he does is expanding his gut.

Spinning is f**king tough work - one of the hardest classes I've done, but really addictive.

The good thing is though, you make it as tough as you want from a resistance perspective. Oh so addictive, had a mate who would do two sessions in a row

 

Used to go to a Holmes place gym with a purpose built studio. Banging dance tracks, all black inside with enough disco/strobe lights to have run New York New York in it's prime. Bloody awesome. Never found anything like that in the UK yet.

I did the bleep test once, about 5 years ago, bloody hard, i'd like to do one a week as it's a great way to keep a track on your fitness.

good thing about a bleep test is that you dont really have to warm up before you do it..seeing as you start with a brisk walk and build up the speed

 

a circuit to a bleep test is bloody good for a work out...

 

need to be in a group of 3....

one person rests

one person does static exercises...like bicep curls, or crunches or snake presses or squats or what ever

the other person does 3 shuttles to the bleeps and on the final one, swap with the person that end..

 

start at level 1....easy and keep it going to level 21...hard as fook and becomes impossible to keep with the beeps
