The Chairman's Fitness Challenge Blog

I have posted on the Men's Health forums about the circuit training class I am in.  I went through this once before, around Christmas last year, and am now in the midst of another 6-week session of twice-a-week classes doing full-body training.

The format is pretty typical of these things, I think... as many reps as you can do at each station in one minute, seven stations + cardio, five times around.  The total in one hour is about thirty-five sets of various weight-training moves plus five rounds of 1-minute intense cardio on  stationary bike.

The moves include things like tri pushups, one-legged swiss ball squats, and pullovers.  The toughest one to me is the bosu ball squats - I am having a heck of a time getting any meaningful work in without falling off the stupid bosu ball.  Tonight was a bit of a breakout - I finally was able to get some reps in with about 30kg of weight as a front squat.  It doesn't sound like much (my front squat on terra firma is about 65kg) but being able to do it tonight without toppling over was a great feeling!
