Personal trainer David Fairlamb puts us through our paces.
WE can all do our training sessions at a comfortable pace and just go through the motions, however, it takes a special person to constantly push themselves out of their comfort zone.
The shorter beach workouts are designed for you to work quicker and harder. Try to push yourself on every quick burst and know you have given 100% effort. This ability to give that extra bit will make you physically and mentally stronger.
Always make sure you warm up before each workout and cool down and stretch after. This and the strength exercises can all be viewed on The Journal how-to video section.
Here’s this week’s schedule:
Sunday or Monday
1-mile walk/run at the start and finish.
High knees, quick knees and zig-zags.
Tricep dips.
Bicep curls.
Plank.
Shoulders and arm exercise with bands.
After your mile walk/run set a distance of around 30-40m, preferably on grass or sand. Run/walk as quick as you can with high knees, quick feet and side on zig-zags (see exercise of the day and video). Your recovery is the walk back to the start. After every 10 do 30 seconds per strength exercise.
Monday night
6-6.45pm David Fairlamb’s Beach Bootcamp (see my website for details).
Tuesday morning
6.45am - 7.30am David Fairlamb’s Wake-up Workout.
Tuesday evening
Up to 40 minutes aerobic exercise.
An easy 40-45 minutes walk/run/cycle. This is good to do as the other workouts are all based on speed and strength.
