All i want for christmas list.
Jason's mission, #1
After the most excellent 3rd session that Kevin took last week we found that over the Christmas period because many people would be away from the area (myself included) and or very busy we would probably not be able to have our usual BL training so we had to come up with a solution. We decided that every one who has come to the sessions regularly so far should post a killer mission before the thursdays that we are going to miss, so it looks like i am the first person to set a mission for this thursday, after lots of thinking my gift to you all is 100 pistols on each leg- keep your heel down + try to keep your opposite leg up to get a strong quad illiapsoas+ passoas major (if you do not know what they are you will soon :-) If you are not at the pistol stage work on the progressions that we have gone through. Have fun i know i will. Please add to the list for this weeks BL training before 4.30pm the time we should all start the missions that have been set.

Kevin's mission, #2

As Jason has given us the mission of conditioning our legs, I thought we should work on our shoulders and arms. The task is to do backward quadrepudal walking up 40 stairs; this is with your feet a few steps above your hands. The most effective way is doing them at the same time, however if you feel the need to break up the task, do 20 at a time but no less! Find the set of stairs you will use, which may be stairs in th house, but you can do them on steps outside; go up the stairs and welk down back to the bottom, repeat this as many times as you need to fulfill the mission of 40 stairs!

Ashley's mission, #3

Well Jason is doing your legs and Kevin is doing your arms I'm going to get your heart pumping. my mission is to find a 30 meter straight and put mark both ends with something. Then sprint from one end to the other doing count down push ups from 10 at one end then 9 and so on, till u get to zero and then work your way back up to 10 at jogging speed. Then do the same with sit ups. once u have finished u should have done on a 30 meter straight 1200 Meters = 0.7 miles and 110 push ups and 110 sit ups : )

Justine's mission, #4

Hi everyone, its christmas day at 2am an i am too exited to sleep so i thought i would add my part to our festive conditioning programme. I have two sprained ankles at the moment so the running and pistols are out for me grrrrrr (i will do it all when i have healed). Taking this into account i have come up with a very simple but effective challenge which hardly involves feet. So before filling yourselves with christmas turky you must walk 250 steps whilst in a handstand. There are three rules:

1. You must only move in a forwards direction

2. You must not break for more than a 30 seconds

3. You must keep going for as long as you phisically can

Good luck, have fun and merry christmas! x
