Niko’s Weekly Dose # 37 | Follow My Weekly Fitness Plan

This week was week 8 of testing for Phase 3 of the Afterburn Training System.

This week I had finally got over my cold so I managed to get back into a couple of weight training sessions, playing a game of Touch Rugby League and completing a session of Crossfit.

 

 

 Anyhow here is how my weekly fitness plan unfolded:

• Date: Monday 30th July 2012
• Rest Day

• Training: Touch Rugby League
• Date: Tuesday 31st July 2012
• Time: 8:00pm

Tonight’s game was second game of grading for the season. As usual the game was fast paced making for a great HIIT session. What that meant was during the game I would go as hard as I could for about 2 minutes, then I sub off and have a 2 minute rest. With each half lasting 20mins, it made for a hard HIIT session, but as per usual and it didn’t even feel like exercise because I was having fun.

The team we played was a new team that we ended up beating 9-2 .

The whole session including warm-up, the workout, and warm down took me 45mins to complete, keeping my heart rate at an average of 141 BPM, with a maximum heart rate of 176BPM, burning a little over 550kcal.
