Train Hard : Monday’s Motivator

my fitness journey on instagram
Decided to change my HIIT a little today, and so decreased my work by five seconds, and my recovery by twenty seconds - making it an even split of work to recovery.
Certainly got a sweat on, and with the reduced amount of recovery the session was obviously shorter, giving me more time to get on with weights... Except after pushing myself with the weights - increased my dumbell shoulder press by 1kg to 9kg each arm - I triggered a muscle in my neck that's been getting tight the last couple of weeks from climbing, which meant I had to abort soon after! Grr! .

Hard work is chalky hands, and sweaty feet.
Hard work is cuts and calluses.
Hard work is bruises and scrapes.
Hard work is having to think about your next three moves whilst precariously balancing on a hold the size of a postage stamp.
Hard work is screaming and encouraging your mate to push up, then your mate screaming the exact same at you, right after.
Hard work is also laughing till your abs ache.
Climbing doesn't always feel like hard work, and your body doesn't even always tell you it's doing that hard work. But you know you've done the hard graft when you can push yourself that little bit further each time you go back.
This is why we climb.

Love having a little dance in the gym!
.
Filming yourself in the gym can be quite useful - if you don't mind the stares and confusion from others in the room!
.
Looking back at this clip I can see my forearms are probably raised too high at the end of the exercise, but this was right at the end of my workout so I'm not going to go too hard on myself ☺
.
Form starts to fail with exhaustion, so at least I know I put my all into my workout. .

Muscular injuries suck! .
I can only assume that it's as a result of the many crashes I had last weekend in my hang gliding lesson, that I've done something to my left thigh and glute.
.
I've been climbing three times this week, and tried not to put too much pressure on it - difficult when climbing harder routes as they inevitably involve more legwork, usually single leg presses rather than climbing with arms to pull get you up the wall 😔 .
In the meantime I'm trying to keep gym workouts to arms and core, with a little leg work thrown in where I can ☺ this Turkish getup is one of those where I let myself off! I've not really done much with kettlebells before, but I'm now giving them a go as they can be great compound exercise (using large muscle groups rather than singling out the smaller muscles individually).

a treat to myself for being an alright puppy mom, on mother's day!
.
homemade gluten free brownies, warmed and drenched with Baileys chocat luxe liquor... 😋
.
... with a side accompaniment of stink eye from the puppy himself! 🐶 .

that moment ... after hours of agonising 'fetch the tyre' torture from the puppy, he finally falls asleep, but on the TV remote ... and the films just finished ... 😳

Little legs (Loki 🐶) and I will be running the Muddy Dog 5km Obstacle Race in Windsor on the 12th May... obstacle training is in progress!!!
.
The race is organised by, and in aid of Battersea Dogs Home, to raise funds to help them care for the pups that don't always have a great start in life.
.
We'd love your support and sponsorship ☺
.
You're welcome to come and watch us run the race, and I'll be posting pics of the evidence after!! Can't say I'm looking forward to the muddy side of it - anyone that knows me well knows I hate dirt under my nails, let alone rolling in it!! On the other hand, Loki will be in his element... a good squelchy muddy puddle is his idea of a great day out!
.
Our just giving page is set up directly with Battersea, and all money raised on our page will go to Battersea Dogs Home.
.
Every little helps, thanks ☺ xxx

Ps. if @davidgandy_official and Dora managed it last year, Loki and I should have no problem, right?! 🤭
I got my pancake fill in the office.
well, you would wouldn't you... if you worked at BBC Good Food!
And then came home to make sure the furry one got in on the pancake fun too!
