Personal Training with Celia - Josh Hopkinson


Today we worked on Celias stamina to work towards her weight loss goals.

The Training Style I got Celia doing today was quite high intensity cross training which is used by the royal air force when training for fitness tests.

I toned down the royal air forces work-out for Celia.

The basis of this training is starting with a particular number of reps on 3-4 different exercises then working your way down to just one rep.

The exercises Celia completed today are as follows:

  • Swiss ball crunches
  • Frontal/Lat Raise with resistance band
  • Narrow Row Squats (suspension training)
  • Studio Shuttle Runs

Once I had taken Celia through all the exercises to ensure she understood how to perform each with good technique, we began.

Starting with 10 crunches moving quickly into 10 Frontal/lat raises then into 10 narrow row squats and finished the set with 10 quick shuttle runs of our studio.

Stage 10 complete!

We then repeated this but now doing 9 reps on each exercise, bare in mind that throughout this whole work out there are no rest periods so Celias heart rate remained with in 60-80% of her max heart rate through out the whole session. Once stage 9 was complete we then began stage 8 (8reps on each). We repeated this until we got down to 1 rep on each exercise! Demanding stuff.

Celia’s work rate through out this whole work out was fantastic which just shows how much she wants the results. With our personal training expertise and Celia’s hard work she is on her way to achieving her desired results.

Great work Celia!!

Well done.

Josh Hopkinson.
