Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun?

My goodness it seems like a blink and a wink away and we where all shutting down and getting ready for the festivities of Christmas and the New Year. Isn’t it funny how the build up is 70% of the fun, next thing you know its all over, your stomach is full and your bank account is empty.

Anyways, the first couple of months of 2010 has flown by with a buzz of excitement for up and coming projects and the launch of our new ‘Combat Conditioning’ class….

…but before I delve deep into those I’d like to welcome on board Ross and Andy to the Room 13 crew. I’ve had the privilege of working with both these guys for the past year and have been extremely impressed by not only their knowledge and passion for the industry; but their continual commitment to learn and improve both themselves and the services they can offer others. I’ll be getting details/character sheets up on all of us over the next couple of months, the site as I’m sure you’ll appreciate is a working progress and will continually develop as the year goes on.

Now, back to our new class…

Our ‘Combat Conditioning’ class runs every Wednesday at present from 19:00 – 21:00 at the QE2 Sports Pavilion (address can be found on our contact page). As the title suggests, the class uses techniques and conditioning drills most often associated with combat sports. This generally involves everything from good old fashioned circuits, bag and pad work, through to plyometrics and some intense functional training drills. Let me point something out, this is not Boxercise by any stretch of the imagination. I have nothing against Boxercise, I think its an excellent way to both stay in shape and vent off any pent-up aggression. However, our ‘Combat Conditioning’ class work towards building a higher level of endurance and recovery, looking at increased lactate threshold and pushing its participants that much further.

Now, that all said, it doesn’t mean you have to be involved in a combat sport to take part in the class, you just have to know that its going to be hard work. If you’re after an intense 120 minute workout drop me an email and we’ll try to accommodate you.

This really is just a quicky, I’ll be putting up a more in depth update in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s a new feature I’ll be adding more of as the months roll on…Training Tunes. I’m a big believer in the power of a potent tune while you’re training and here I’ll be sharing some of my favourites.

Here’s a great one to get that blood pumping, Drowning Pool and Bodies…ENJOY!!!
