Weekly summary 3-7

This week a busy week considering it was a holiday week. the gym itself was not entirely busy which is not uncommon for the summer months in a gym. Either way I was able to keep pretty busy with the conditioning class and other projects around the gym. The first day of class was a bit different from the way that we normally do it. Normally we split up cardio and resistance training for half of  each session. Instead we had around a 10 minute high intensity warm up and we then mixed up are resistance training with cardio inducing activity such as running stairs, doing a spin bike, and jumping rope. I found that this was a bit more difficult session to get through because of its higher demand for continued aerobic activity. But once it was through they really felt like they accomplished something. That being said I tried to do the same type of thing with the Thursday's class. Only one person showed up and she is a high school track athlete looking to get ahead. I have agreed to train per personally for sport specific training in the heptathlon. We started out with a little hip flexer strengthening through incline walking forward, backward, and side to side on the tredmil at various speed. I found this to be very effective because the hip flexor does so much for turn over and speed in track and field, therefore the stronger they are, the stronger you are. We then went through and two exercise switch where one exercise was strength based and then we switch to one that would be cardio based. Such as chest press and quick steps. this class was very successful for her. Once that was finished i wrote up a training week for her to do while she was gone on vacation. Nothing overwhelming just mostly to maintain her level of fitness until she returns. Friday i worked in the shake shop trying to get some research done for our nutritional standpoints in the shake shop. I wanted to get some hard research that will show people the different types of energy systems and how having one of our quality shakes would benefit each of those systems. It's mostly a promo type thing. Finally Saturday I came in to open p the pool for people would would like to swim on the weekends. I tried to organize some things around the shop and office in order to make things easier to find and be able to make shakes faster mostly because there will be a time when that shake shop get really really busy after we promote it.
