So after much deliberation today I've decided not to do hell week for 22 Min Hard Corp.
I'm really pleased I completed the 8 week program and I'm really pleased that I've lost the fat that I have off my thighs and my hips. But I'm really missing the weights and I actually feel weaker in my arms.
Core and leg wise I know I'm stronger and my chin up/pull up strength has improved (I'll know how much for sure when I do my fit test tomorrow) but I don't think a week of doubles is going to do much more for me! Can you believe I weigh exactly the same as when I started!
My general fitness has massively improved and I think it's a really great program for leaning out and getting "military fit". But I want more so I'm going to do my own hybrid for a while and see how I get on.
Lots more packing to be done too as hopefully we will be finally moving home and business in the next few weeks, so busy time coming up but I still want to get my workouts in when I can.
Fit test results from 22 MHC..
Push ups in a min - Day 1 I managed 20 all full push ups and pretty good depth, slightly shy of parallel towards the end - today I managed 28 ;)
Squat Thrust in a min - Day 1 I used 2 x 2kg and did 29 reps - today I did 2 x 3kg and 32 reps :)
Pulls max reps - Day 1 I got 1/3 of a pull up, 2 Chin ups - today I got 1 and 1/4 pull ups and 4 and 1/4 chin ups = Major New personal best for me!!
Jumping jacks - I did full touch at the top and bottom and managed 72 reps day 1, today 75.
Forearm Plank Hold max time or 1 min max - Day 1 I managed the full minute and today I did 1 min 30 secs.
So really pleased with results :)
Today I did Hammer Build Up for a nice little intro back in to weights and used the same weights as I used last time I did it and everything was good and stronger except biceps and lat raises were tough.
Loved it :)
