RUNNING constantly has become a bit monotonous so having access to a great personal trainer at Cannons, Jayson Lee, has been a god-send these past few weeks.
Jayson originally took me through lunges, squats and weights and however useful these were, they are not the most exciting in the gym’s repertoire of torture mechanisms.
Then we got onto boxing training sessions and, dare I say it, I had such good fun.
Jayson took me through two and three minute ‘rounds’ for around 45 minutes so I was doing uppercuts, punches, hooks and plenty of ducks as I followed his pads around the room.
I worked up such a sweat and could feel the effect as after a couple of days of achey thighs my squats were faster and felt easier than in my first session.
Now’s the time to really mix up the training and I can assure you that ¾ hour punching and ducking will build up your stamina like nothing else.
