gooster Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have been brave and downloaded the evil squat song. It is part of a 30 day squat challenge on you tube to tone up your bum and thighs, might try and get some practice in outside of Mr G's classes There was a new girl in strength and conditioning tonight, as you go around in partners, once I had explained how the class worked, I asked if she wanted to partner me. I was really kind and let her use all the light weights, meaning, I got the heavy ones. Only time I struggled was when we were doing squats with a weight on our shoulders. I let her have the 'light' one (16kg) and I got the heavy one (21kg). I was fine with it until we had to move on, then I struggled to get the weight off my shoulders and over my head to put on the floor. One of the fit gym guys had to rescue me - twice The second time, I didn't even try, I just stood there looking hopeless till the next guys who were on that station arrived and they rescued me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 We'll done Jayne. I am doing well, conserving energy and ready to bounce off the walls. Will be doing a 2 mile run today at speed just to clear the legs and maybe park run on Saturday. Then I'll be battling the elements on Sunday with fingers and toes crossed!! Positive thoughts would be appreciated as I attempt my first marathon! xxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Good luck for Sunday - am sure you will do well I did the squat song last night when I got home. It is so unpleasant, but each time I do it, it becomes a bit easier Cycle blast tonight - Deejay is covering tonight as Clare is on holiday. Her cycle blast is mega hard, so not looking forward to that too much - she gets you to do a 3 min sprint at the end (when your legs are knackered ). However she did say she has some new music, so hopefully the 3 min sprint has gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks Jayne, I did it. I am so pleased with my 5:10:27 chip time. That was the hardest run I have ever done! (Strange that hey....) xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well done - that is amazing You should be so proud of yourself Am still persevering with the evil squat song. I have done it every day since Thursday. I counted yesterday though that it is only 31 squats. I can do 50+ squats with no real issue, so am guessing it is the bits where you hold the squats that kills you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am, 5 people finished after me...but I finished it, the winning time was 2:26 and some seconds...more likely half marathon pace...and where I was today at that time was the half way point!! Good luck with the evil squat song!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well done Mary , what an amazing achievement. Jayne can you have anything left to tone up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 2.26??!! Jeez, did they sprint around There is still plenty to tone up Sam, don't worry. Still have chunky thighs. They are much smaller than they were, but not thin and toned enough yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 they might be chunky because you have a lot of muscle there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Not unless muscle wobbles It is just the upper thighs and bum really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I am sure muscle must wobble a bit , well thats what I am telling myself anyway ! whats the 30 day squat thingy then ? when I get back to SL next week I am going to do a 90 day circuit program but the squat thing sounds interesting as well. I am taking my bike with me so I can do some cardio early morning as cardio is the hardest thing to do there , I am also going to buy a cross trainer I have been very inconsistent with my work outs recently so all that changes from next week !

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I also have one of these I am not going to do the 60 day program until I have finished the 90 days Jillian Micheals program but I will be doing some exercises on it 3 times a week , my PT used a TRX as part of my training program and its great when you don't have access to free weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 this should hopefully be a link to evil squat challenge thing It's done to the Moby song Flowers. You can also do press ups to it as well - tried that on Friday night - it was equally as unpleasant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
