Brothers Steve and Paul are still doing well with their goal now being to burn at least 700 calories every session. Today we didn’t quite make it as we focused on the weight training but the boys still had a great session.

Brothers Steve and Paul are in their 50s. And i think you’ll all agree that they look in pretty good shape now after 6 months training with Will Power. Steve and Paul have been training with me for about 6 months. The brothers both bought in a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor when they started their training package. This has been a great addition to their training. The heart rate monitor really maximizes their productivity during training sessions. For starters I have set the target heart rate zones with an audible lower and upper heart rate limit. The reason for this is when persons are over 45 years of age you have to be aware of cardiac arrest when pushing the cardio training. So when Steve and Paul reach an upper limit of 170 they stop and let their heart rate come down to 130 then go again. The heart rate monitors give a summary after every session. The summary gives..

1. Total training time
2. Time spent in the target heart rate zone
3. Maximum heart rate
4. Average heart rate
5. Calories burnt.

So we have head great fun in trying to get the highest calorie count each session. I even had the guys working against each other with the incentive of a prize for the highest calorie count in a session. Steve and Paul typically will burn around 550 calories per session. But today’s session on Domain Rd was something special with both guys burning 700 calories in 1 hour. To put it into perspective a Mars Bar has 448 Calories.

This is an outstanding achievement and they were very happy with their efforts. I highly encourage all my clients to invest the minimal dollars in this unit as it totally maximizes your productivity during your training sessions.

See you all next session.

Will.

Here’s a few pics of Tia training session tonight with the TRX suspension training system. Each exercise was 30 seconds to 1 minute in length with a 30 second run in between each set. The session was 45 minutes long.

Guys try this app it is awesome ! It gives you your calories burned, tells you your cadence every 5 minutes, gives you your run on a map afterwards and saves all your runs to a calendar on line. Also can be used for Cycling etc. Give me a call if you need help with it.

We had a great turnout given the weather tonight.
We welcomed Farah to the fold.

Do your running shoes feel like they are letting you down? Do you get sore ankles or shins when you run?

This is most likely because the little air bubbles in the foam of the soul have all diminished.

If you runners feel like a pair of comfortable slippers then it’s time for an update.
