| Pull ups but for skiing, hard yes, very - effective, definately |
Yesterday afternoon A new OIC (Officer In Command) arrived
to help babysit us while the Coach attends a funeral in the UK. With that in
mind we took the boss and gave him a little intro into some of the things we
do...
Our warm-up consisted of fun balance and plyometric type obstacles. (Plyometric
= short, powerful explosive movements) Everything from sprinting through tyres
to slack lines, good stuff!
Once our warm-up was completed we went onto ski-ganging a huge hill 12 times!
(ski-ganging = bounding up a hill with poles, which uses obviously not only
your legs but your abs, triceps and lats).
The warm-up and teaching the boss how to ski-gang was definitely the highlight
of the mornings session :)

In the afternoon we did another hardcore
session in the gym, leaving us ridiculously sweaty in the 30+ degree heat!
I love
circuit training in 'Rocky's Gym', its hard work but extremely rewarding! Today
we managed to do 5 x 8 stations, with 15 seconds change-over time and a couple
of minutes rest in-between sets...Performing everything from the punch bag to
dead-lifts and bench pressing to skipping! ( we even sneakily changed 1 of the
exercises to test out the roller-board, naughty naughty! Haha )
