Allan - My PT!

One of the many wonderful things about Allan doing his PT qualification, is that I get lots of really good advice and get to try out his cool an innovative workouts! On Friday night, Allan put me through a really good medicine ball workout.  Saturday - we did a 7km run around the lake.  Today - a wonderful Sunday morning workout using a kettle bell through different exercises.  After we had finished, another Fitness First member came up to Allan and asked about the circuit Allan had designed for me - Allan emphasised his philosophy was about functional fitness for life - which means exercising hard, strengthening the core BUT not doing exercises that are risky.  We had a conversation about high box jumps being unnecessary and risky but looking at alternate exercises.  After all, my objective is to do a marathon - so strength and stamina are important - and I want to avoid injury.  The Fitness First member asked Allan if he could do a program for her when he finished his course - how cool!  Allan finishes his PT course this week - go Allan!!
