Total Fitness Training Tenerife

Even Personal Trainers get a push sometimes.. 25/02/2009

When the opportunity came up to help out a colleague by being a guinie pig for a 12 week stamina enhancing programme.. I jumped at it.

Even personal trainers like a kick up the ass every now and again! We are so used to designing programmes for everyone elses needs that we quite often fall into maintenance mode, you know, keep things ticking over for our own fitness.

Since moving to Tenerife my regular training patterns have gone out the window. I have not yet found anywhere to do BJJ. I teach no classes and am not currently running BOOT CAMPs. So when Jon Le Tocq of Storm Force Fitness asked the question…. well, what could I say….

I’m not looking at the Fat Loss side of the programme personally, although this will be an inevitable side effect. I am however expecting impovements in stamina, energy levels and power.

So, starting this Monday I will be commencing on my routine.. Jon will send me details by email, each Sunday for the coming week.

I will be posting weekly pics and measurements here..

Why so public?? Apart from it being part of the agreement with Jon, I want to show people how you can make changes without going to the gym!! I will be working out at home with the kit that I have here and I have borrowed a rowing machine. Apparently I will be doing 4-5 sessions a week! It’s also an insight for you  as to how distance training can work.

Jon’s introduction to the programme…If you want to rapidly increase your conditioning levels to that of a fully grown panther……

I’m excited ….and perhaps a little scared.. Beware people, I may not be able to move next week so don’t laugh at me too much when I try to cart my kit about!!

Let’s see where this goes!
