Train With Jane Plymouth

Fantastic efforts from all my regular circuiteers and a few new ones too. Very sadly this was the last of my Tuesday evening classes at the Life Centre. There is still an opportunity to do Strength & Conditioning with me 8.30am Monday mornings so hopefully see some of you there 💪

Fab class today at Plymouth Life Centre. Must be the lighter evenings as EVERYONE was there tonight! Not done an update for a while so my current classes here are:
🐌 Mondays 8:30am Strength Conditioning ( slow & steady version)🐌
🏎️Tuesdays 18:30pm Strength Conditioning (fast & furious edition)🏎️
🔥 Wednesdays 17:00pm Core Burn 🔥

😁 A few weeks ago I rather spontaneously signed up for a little in-house competition at the Life Centre as something to re-motivate my own training. I immediately realised I'd been unrealistic in finding enough time to train between training others, and despite never letting my size be an excuse, lifting weights nearly as much as me was wildly over-ambitious.🙄 But very few females had entered the competition so I left my name on the list in the hope it may inspire a few more to join. 🥺

So on the day I just rocked with absolutely no thoughts of being competitive and even any expectation to finish. I just thought I'll start and see how far I get, if I do half of it I'll be more than happy. 😆

Well I only went and smashed it! 💪 I took my watch off so had no idea of the time and just got on with it, with much encouragement from coaches Scott and Chris. It was only on the last exercise, the dreaded burpees broad jumps, that I realised they hadn't just kindly let me carry on over the 30 minute cut off. I felt like it was taking hours!😲

When they said I was in with a chance of taking the lead they weren't going to let me go at my own pace even if I'd been happy with coming second. Technique went out the window and my burpees consisted of falling forward onto my face then somehow lurching back up to jump back down onto my face again! 😱

I'm still in shock that I beat the lead F time by 20 seconds and the coaches were too! The downside is I've now given myself a time to beat. 3 days later and I'm still feeling like I've wrestled a polar bear so I treated my circuits class to the challenge instead. They were amazing and totally deserve a huge Christmas dinner now 😋

Join me for more Strength Conditioning at Plymouth Active Mondays 8:30am & Tuesdays 18:30pm. Something different every week. If I can you can and it's as much of a surprise to me as it is to you! 🤪
