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.

Breadsall Priory offers 6 months free Personal Training

In December 2012 Breadsall Priory Leisure Club decided to offer a Personal training and lifetsyle package as a prize to one individual who wanted to achieve a life changing goal.

We posted the prize onto facebook and received a wide range of applications from those looking to shape up for a wedding to those looking to lose weight for personal reasons.  After much agonising and debate we chose Celia Ingall.

Starting in January 2013 Celia will begin her training.  Her 2 trainers, Josh Hopkinson and Simon Tranter will work with her twice a week to support, encourage and train her to ensure she achieves her goals.  All profile details will follow in January

Over the next 6 months both the Breadsall Trainers and Celia will be writing this blog to provide you with a step by step update on her training, her fitness, her ups and downs and hopefully her progress. 

Our plan is to show those who do not believe in the benefits of exercise or those who are yet to make the jump, that exercise can be life changing and that exercise should be a part of everyones life.  We have already seen members here at Breadsall lose vast amounts of weight, stop the onset of diabetes, run marathons when they thought it was impossible.  Nothing is impossible except what you believe is impossible.

Follow this Blog and let us show you that not only is anything possible, but training can be fullfilling, purposeful and ultimately Fun.

Dont Train Alone - Life is always better when done with a friend or partner!
