New personal bests

After 5 weeks at Spa naturel Cardiff with Dean our personal trainer killing us on a harsh 5 day a week plan we retestedat the end of last week to see our gains. Apart from feeling fitter and stronger with better muscular endurance showing, we all managed to beat our previous personal bests. My squat 1 rep Max increased from 90kg to 120kg and my bench from 75kg to 77.5kg. Almost 80 but couldn't quite get it.... Would definitely reccommend the place if you want a challenge or to get yourself in shape! Great personal trainers for every goal and a decent spa to relax in afterwards.

Week 3

Just completed another session at Spa Naturel Fitness Cardiff today. Didn't reach my reps but that's the point. Failure is good, means you're pushing hard.

Calories

It is ten O'clock and I have eaten 800 calories out of my 3000 daily goal. Not a bad start but half the work is making sure I keep up the eating to fuel the gains!
