Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 149

Day 149 About 3 weeks ago I put my group through a big multi-exercise circuit. I didn't get to join in because I felt that seeing as it was the first time putting them through that type of workout, that I needed to coach them through it. Tonight I put them through another circuit. I had 33 people come out, which was a lot more than I had expected, so I had to add a few more stations than I had planned for. I put people into groups of 2 and had them split up over 17 stations. We did 2 full rotations of the full circuit. I didn't join in for the first round to make sure things were running smoothly, but I did get to join for the second half. I had one athlete going solo, so I became his partner.

We finished off the night with 3 sets to the top of the Glencoe stairs.

I think the workout was a great success. Everyone, did such a great job. I'll probably put together another couple circuit workouts over the course of the summer. I think now that my group really has the hang of them, I will likely join in for the workouts from now on.

I think tomorrow I'll be back moving the weights around. I managed to get in for some active release with my chiropractor Dr. Helena Horsky today, so I'll feeling nice and loose and ready to train hard.
