July update

Time for a July update!

The Friday class at AMAG has changed direction again we are training to a different theme. Its still sweat-filled and fuelled by determination and power.
Entertaining and challenging warm up and mobility / body weight drills precede the 2x 10min rounds where we blitz...
1. swing variations (30secs) with bag work variations of Thai kicks and knees (30 secs)
2. swing variations (30secs) with explosive push ups or squat/lunges(30secs)
Both 10 Min's rounds are very challenging and I think we were trying to figure out which was the recovery round! Nah. The swings round, the bag work round and the explosive body weight round are all performed with massive levels of energy! No recovery round this time!

The second half of the 1.5 hour class is circuits based. Teamed with a partner, we use the kettlebell, punchbags, medicine balls and jab pads for 2 min rounds. Awesome!

Sunday public class is still running, but with very low attendance. (everyone enjoying the summer obviously!) AMAG students take the chance of a second KB workout though which is ace. The class is still suitable for all and is not combat-based.
With an hour at hand, we are performing good solid mobility work before timed sets of swings (that prove to be somewhat challenging!), 1 single progressive TGU per arm (core!) and a fun timed set achieving the clean and press (single/double KB) and jumping rope, with reducing amounts of time. Feeling great for winding down the weekend!

"Well spank me with a haddock and call me Susan, these kettlebell things are awesome. The workshop is designed to introduce you to the workouts and some basic movements and mobility drills. I was clenching muscles I didn't know were there. It's hard work, to be honest I wasn't expecting to be as knackered as I was! Looking forward to seeing the results in 3-4 months time and how this affects my other training. If you have not tried Kettlebells before, I can highly reccomend it and if you are in the Aberdeen area then get onto Rays blog and get signed up." Stuart Mundy

"The time and effort you have put in has definitely paid off and I cant wait to develop under your instruction."This is a great workout for women, as it works all the muscle groups with out building bulk, just strength, tone and fitness, bring on the next class!" Carolyn Ewen
