I have a challenge for you this week - how many medicine ball slams can you do in 1 minute?
Read on to learn the best technique and to get an idea of the number of repetitions to aim for.
As many of you know my Auntie and Uncle were running the London Marathon this year for Children with Cancer UK. They had set themselves a mammoth challenge of raising £8k for them, this was smashed on the day the total had already exceeded £11k which is amazing.
They had put in all the training and hard work building up to The London Marathon and sometimes the plan going a little off track as everyday life, work and families often decided to throw a spanner in the works but come to think of it, whose plan ever goes 100% successfully.
This is such an open topic and there are lots of different varients that you need to take into consideration.
A lot of it all settles down to what goals you're wanting to achieve. Whether thats to increase your energy levels as you run, or are you running for weight loss.
Have you ever thought that you need to change your training and always put it off?
You either feel you haven’t got the time or you’re happy to keep going as you are?
I know the feeling, to keep going in the usual routine can feel comfortable and you know what is coming.
However sometimes something happens that forces you to have to make a change. Whether that’s the feeling of burning out with work or at home, or the little niggle that you’ve been putting off that you think will ‘go away’ on its own becomes a more persistent injury. This then forces you to re-evaluate what you need to do.
This is a great challenge to take you into the new year and a good exercise to look at the explosive power in your legs.
Over the last few years lots of gyms and got more plyobox's available for you to use.
Depending on how kind they are will mean they either have the softer foam boxes or the hard wooden box more metal step, which are likely to leave you with some nice cuts or bruises is you misjudge the height you're jumping.
