Over the weekend Nellie and completed in Podium Series 1 together. It was tough!
The competition is made up of 4 zones:
Zone 1: As many deadlifts (64kg) and bench presses (25kg) in the set time.
Zone 2: Row and skierg forever.
Zone 3: Kettlebell and dumbbell complexes on repeat.
Zone 4: A wall ball and bionic bike pyramid. (15 min)
Literally hundreds of deadlifts, bench presses and wall balls later, we did it! Just two mums in our 40s who are still trying new things really quite a long way outside our comfort zone.
It was extra special having my boys come along to watch. They knew I was nervous and I hope that they see that being brave isn't about finding things easy, it's about giving it a go anyway. It's never too late to learn, improve or take on a challenge.
Special mention to the coaches and friends from BFT Blockhouse Bay who never fail to turn up to support and encourage from the sidelines. 😘
