So I did my first session of glute work set by my physio tonight to help sort out the tracking of my knee. It took me about 40 mins and was very achey and ouchy in places but that means its working right?
3 times a week for two weeks then go back to see and maybe give me more functional work to do.
So that didn't leave long for my workout so got in another Grit Strength. Increased the barbell weight so pleased with that but the jumping lunges and squats bit was tough after the glute work.

Les Mills Grit Strength 6
Wanted a change of pace and because of stress levels and hopefully moving very soon - I may drop down to 5 days days a week instead 6 - so thinking of going for 3 day full body blast, with yoga day and a cardio/combat/kenpo day for a few weeks.
Love this tonight - didnt go crazy with weights as still cautious of knee. But did some jumping lunges and squats and no pain so pleased with that. Great workout!

Les Mills Grit Strength 6 & Ins Asy Relief
Les Mills Grit Strength 6 and Ins Asy Relief
Had a stressful day and needed something more than recovery and mobility tonight so did Grit Strength 6 followed by Relief.
Needed it and went for it - felt tired but great and really needed the stretch afterwards ;)

Les Mills on Demand - Grit Strength 6 + Relief
Les Mills on Demand - Grit Strength 6 + Relief
First time doing Grit and it was awesome! Very quick pace and pretty tough most of the way through but I loved it ;)
I warmed up with a 3kg DB which in hindsight was a touch heavy for a warm up for those shoulders. Go for 2kg next time.
I used 2 x 4kg DBs for Squats/shrugs and Lunges sections. These were tough but doable so stay here for next session.
The lateral section was really tough on my upper arms with the 3kg def. try a 2kg next time - my shoulder just couldn't hold it up over head for that length of time after the presses tired them out ;(
All the barbell section I used an empty BB @ 7kg and it was ok to on the light side so don't go crazy but up it to 8kg next time.
The core section was so much harder than it looked. All those hovers ouchy! and I used the 2kg for the crunches and do this again next time but get more reps.
Overall I struggled to keep up with the pace and maybe compromised form a little especially on the burpees which I really shouldn't have done - Form before Speed remember!! Get it right then go faster!
Chased it with Asylums Relief just to stretch and cool down as there are no cool downs in these 30 mins workouts.
