Save this for your next workout!

If you want to get a workout done but don't have a lot of time, try this 5 x 5 workout.

Choose 3 exercises
Do 5 reps of each exercise every minute for 5 minutes.

Simple!

I filmed this after doing my own 5 x 5 workout.

My choice was 3 sets (15 mins in total)

Set 1 - squats, kettlebell swings, deadlifts
Set 2 - push ups, overhead press, bent over Row
Set 3 - deadbugs, toe taps, 4 second plank

What would your 5 x 5 workout look like? Let me know below!

Not to say that I ignore those normal running stats.

It's just that mine make a more interesting run 😀

How about you?

Are you all about the pace, distance and heart rate?

Or do you rate your run by the things you see?

Let me know below 😀

Introducing Drop In Classes!

Do you like to keep active over the summer but can't commit to regular class schedules due to all the changes to your routine - holidays, kids off school, life being wonderfully unpredictable?

Then my Drop In classes might be just the thing you're looking for.

Over the summer both my Heat and Strong online classes for women will be offered as drop ins 😀

Just book the sessions, turn up for a short and efficient workout, and then get on with your day!

Heat
Wednesdays 9:30–10am
A 30 minute low impact, high intensity workout. No jumping, no burpees - just a sweaty, energising session that's pelvic floor friendly and easy to follow.

Strong
Fridays 12:00–12:35pm
A 35 minute whole body strength session for women. Works every muscle group with a focus on upper body and core, all at your own pace.

Both sessions are delivered live via Zoom, and every session is recorded and available for 30 days. So, if life gets in the way, you can still catch up in your own time.

Ready to go? Just comment HEAT or STRONG below for more information on how to book 😀

Waddesdon Runners Couch to 5k done!!

Join me on one of my favourite runs on 21st June.

It's a 12km run from Waddesdon to Eythrope, and takes in the river, some hills and a prehistoric burial mound.

These runs are all about exploring different parts of your local (or not so local) area, no pressure, no worries about getting lost.

You don't need any trail running experience, and you don't need to be fast.

All you need to be is comfortable running the distance.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and join me 😀

Just comment below for more info.
