Well I had the fitness exercise programme today and it was good. I had a fitness test first which was similar to the bleep test except it was stepping on and off a box. My heart rate reached the 80% limit before I couldn't carry on anymore which I think is good as I can now get it fitter with some cardio.
We then moved on to the cross trainer and did 5 mins making sure to keep the pace up above (I think) 128. That was followed by some resistance training and then 5 mins on the treadmill. This consisted of 5 mins at a fast pace on an incline of 3. I then did some more resistance training and finished on the rowing machine. The aim was to row 500m to warm up and try to beat the warm-up time after I had rested.
I've been instructed to do 2 or 3 reps for each of the resistance training and to also increase either the rate or incline for the cardio to get my heart rate up to 80% of its maximum (about 180 bpm). I only did one rep for each of the resistance training exercises so feel OK today but I think Monday will be a different story!
I'll blog again then.
