Ooops No Photo’s.

by sallydixey on May 18, 2012

Since becoming a Mummy taking a holiday has become a stressful occasion as the count down ticks on but the To Do List seems to be infinite.

Yesterday was the last minute shopping day in Westfield so although Chris and I did get our training shoes on it was quiet a rush and pretty short session. So rushed we didn’t make time for photo’s!!

It went like this…….

Banded box squats 10 sets of 2

Next up banded kettlebell swings.

This is to train your hip speed and power. You will also find that you will feel a lot more effort in the hams and glutes.

If your new to kettlebell swings make sure you have your form down before adding bands into the mix.

Obviously not me but it shows the swing.

To finish I did a little muscle up practise.

As I can’t do a full muscle up or even a partial muscle up to drill the move I lower the rings to an appropriate height and run over the transition part of the muscle up.

Here is a pic but again not me.

This will be the last post for a few weeks but I will bring back some photo’s of my Crossfit down under journey.

After weeks of toying with weights and tip toeing around any real 1RM’s, today I finally went for it. The road has been a long one…..7 and a half months to be precise, I now and only after some careful weight selection and steady strength work have my mid-section felt up to some heavy weights. [...]

Training with Chris is showing me all these different strength techniques. I have never previously had a very strict strength routine but since I was in a bit of a mess strength wise after the C-section I am now reaping the benefits of not jumping straight into full on Crossfit. Not only am I happy [...]

I made a post way back just a few weeks after I had Snoop, where I posted a photo of my tummy……… Well 6 months on and this is what it looks like. Not quiet back the way it was but not bad. I really feel that the combination of a clean (ish) paleo diet [...]

This may not be the most flattering photo but as Chris said it shows you’re working hard! Sumo-deadlifts are one of my favorite moves. Training today I remembered the first time I did a sumo with my good friend Sham. I was lifting close to if not 90Kg for my first time which I was cuffed to bits over [...]

Not my most inspired workout but hey I am going through a tired week……….. Bench Press with bands. 5 sets of 1 rep I found this quite tough to stabilize when I first picked up the bar. This is a first for me with bands but the added tension does make you focus harder. I have [...]
