Have you seen the foam rollers in the fitness center?  Watched people use them?  Heard about them and their benefits for increasing recovery time, aiding in alleviating sore muscles and regaining mobility ?  Well, even if you have not, this is a great workshop for you to attend.  There will be a muscle tension release workshop being held by Amanda Roemer at the Lethbridge Fitness Club on September 22, 2012.  I have taken this course with Amanda before and she is very qualified and thorough instructor.  The picture may be a little small to read, but you can download all information for the clinic by clicking here.  If you are looking for a little more information you can also look up info. on Myofascial release.

We started off yesterday and here is the programming for today:
Program 1: Interval Basis
- This was formally a Tabata protocol program but I have switched it up to cover a wider range of intervals and energy systems. Tabata will still be mixed into the programming, but will not form the basis. These workouts are primarily all bodyweight based and designed to be done including warm up in 30 minutes.
- Yesterday was day 1.  See Monday post for entire set of programming for program 1
Day 2. Tabata - Push up, Sit Up, Box Jumps, Double Unders (double skips) **6 rounds per exercise of 20 seconds all out activity, followed by 10 seconds of rest.  You will do all 6 rounds for an exercise in a row before switching up exercises.  6 rounds PU, 6 rounds SU......

Program 2: Weightlifting
This is a basic weightlifting program. It is designed to get your body ready for further programs that have more volume, higher intensities and more complex formats. It will run as follows for 3 weeks
