Great cardio session this morning. Just ran hard, and did some staircliming - outdoors. My house is quite convenient to the Arts Centre and the amphitheatre where there are 2 different types of stairs. It was a good 8-10 minute run there, then 10 mins of continuous stairs, and short runs, and a run back. Heart rate was caning for most of the time. My program requires short, intense cardio sessions - and that was a good one. This afternoon I trained back and rear delts, and abs. This ab program is quite a bit more volume than I have been doing! Like most people, I tend to slack off a bit on abs. The training was difficult because it was different - different in that my trainer is big into tempo as a tool for muscle building/shaping. So, lots of slow reps, especially on the negatives. My arms and back are aching now. I actually found it hard on my forearms and wrists, just from the extra time under tension. I am sure they will get accustomed to it. Hard to go back to lighter weights and higher reps though!

Tomorrow I will do another cardio session, and, legs and calves, and more abs. Abs are 4 x week, so have to do 2 in a row.

I have a huge week of new clients, so I best get back to work. I'm seriously thinking of hiring a part time PA!

My computer is making this really loud buzzing noise all the time - it's highly annoying! Just like that little yappy dog across the road that barks at 11pm, 3am, and 6am...grrr.
