As list of circuit exercises and demonstrations of how to do them below!

If you are indoors or in your garden, work up to a solid (no stopping!) 3 sets of the below with a minute between sets :

• 20 reps (or 30 seconds) of a leg exercise
• 15 reps (or 30 seconds) of an arm exercise
• 20 reps (or 30 seconds) of a core exercise

Start with 30 seconds each if you are a beginner to circuits and when you can continuously do the exercise for 30 seconds without stopping, move on to working towards reps.

As you improve and find yourself not having to take breaks in an exercise, increase the reps +5 and work up to increasing the sets to 6.

Remember to vary your exercises each time you do the circuit i.e don’t do the same ones over and over again because then it becomes too easy 😉

We are expecting everyone to be flawless at all exercises by the time formal training resumes! 😜

Inspired by @ALTIS I thought id share the rudimentary hops series we use to prepare @Mansonn15 for more intense Plyometrics closer to the season whenever and wherever that may be 🦠😅(series: forward easy hops, backwards, inside lateral, outside, alternating, Z bounds) https://t.co/e6n05teIgi

Over the next few weeks we are all going to be living different lives with no organized activities and limited social interaction. 

However for our physical and mental health, exercise is still important and necessary!

Most of our club members live within a short distance of the Phoenix Park where there is lots of room there to exercise while fulfilling the request to be socially distant. 

Parents or guardians if you can, schedule time to head out early in the morning when it is quieter.  The children know what we do over at the Magazine hills so let them off to run around the laps we do each week. 

If they are showing any signs of fever, coughing, sore throats etc, (most likely not the Coronavirus), be sensible, keep them at home and seek medical advice.

The next few weeks will be challenging, but we will get through it! 😃

A great time to practice those bedroom and garden circuits! 😜

Due to the updated situation regarding the Corona virus all club training is cancelled tonight. Indoor training is suspended until 29th March.

Further updates later.
