Chris L asks about his circuits on thursday’s post last week, is 3/4 enough or should he put some cycling and running in?
The truth is he should do both. Alsways remember when you are doing circuits, aim for 3 circuits of around 6-8 exercises per circuit, have a little water and aim to complete all 3 circuits as soon as you can, whilst still doing every exercise correctly and with good form, no point in cheating on every exercise and pulling your back out just so that you “can finish earlier”!!
As you have kids, try and hit the bike ride hard too, going flat out for 20 minutes rather than one long one done at low to moderate intensity, which will not bring you the same kind of results, same principle with the running, aim for sprints or interval running to achieve maximum results in a very quick period of time, no point being out there plodding all day on a main road inhaling all the fumes. Pick some steep hills and bring your training to a swfit conclusion, but be prepared to put on ton of work in when you do go for it, and aim to improve every week, this should be easily achievable!!!
Stick to your plan of working at a higher intensity in your running, cycling and inside circuits, train with urgency and don’t hold anything back!!! Let me know how it goes!!!
