I love Mum

The best thing about Mum is that she is pretty much willing to do anything. She is happy to try new things, happy to push herself and just an allround amazing woman. We've been working out together a couple of times a week and today instead of going to our usual sunday cycle class we just went to the gym ourselves because she had to be somewhere at 10.30. I told her that she therefore had to promise to do everything I told her-and she did, without complaint!
We decided to do a fair bit on the bikes cos we were missing the class so that's what we did for the first half an hour.

Workout 1: (cycling)

20 seconds hard, 10 seconds light
10 rounds.
hard=gear 15, sprint
light=gear 10, recover

30 seconds hard=gear 18, standing
60 seconds sprint=gear 10, sitting
5 rounds

5 minutes hard, going up 2 gears each minute starting on gear 10 so finishing with a minute on gear 20

Workout 2:

9 sit ups with 6kg medicine ball
15 pushups
21 (don't actually know what these are, its a squat with dumbells and when you go down for the squat you bring the dumbells down to your shoulders and then as you go to standing position you push the dumbells above your head? THRUSTERS!!!!! Thanks Jack :) ) (started with 6kg each in each hand, made it for one round but then switched to 4kg in each hand. Seriously need to get stronger.)
As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes.
Result = 6 rounds and 3 sit ups

Workout 3:

100 calories on the crosstrainer (stupid machine, this was just compromise with mum)
500m row-sprint

Was totally buggered after these....were at the gym for just over an hour. Definitely got our moneys worth.
