Conditioning Success!!!

So on Thursday Lincs Parkour had it’s first OFFICIAL session dedicated to conditioning ! and what a battle it was.

Straight after the Christ Hospital workshop me, Gainey, Cobie and Jack (Ledbury) went and got ourselves stocked up with food and ate while waiting for Ryan to arrive. Once he got to City Hall we went underneath and started with a quick mobility session as it was very cold to just jump straight into conditioning. The mobility included the regular kind of stuff but with a few more side kicks and stretching movements!

Once Finished we started of with about 25-50m sprints with a partner on your back then we did 5 sets of running up the stairs with a partner on your back to get the quads burning (and trust me it did) after the stair sets we then began to lengths of lunges but with some one on your back we did two lengths of about 25-50m.

We had a bit of a rest and stretched of our quads once we had done this then it was on to the monkey leg stuff don’t know the exact name for it but I’m sure you know what I mean, However we did 10 on our right then 30 secs of horse stance then another 10 on our right and 30 secs of horse stance and we repeated it on our left, Then we finished of our quads with a nice tasty jumping circuit at the top of city hall and after 5 times round the circuit it was hard for us to feel our legs !

Now Straight after the leg circuit we had a quick stretch off and while doing so I made up an arm circuit for us around the top of city hall. we had to complete this circuit 3 times, it included handstand push ups, one armed push ups, cat press ups, tricep dips, tricep push ups and also stretched out push ups (to work the lats and shoulders) then you would have to reach from the black rail to the wall and shimmy up the walk way to about half way up! Trust me after doing this 3 times we were all KNACKERED !

However that wasn’t the night over quite yet ! we found a scaffolding and I said we had to do 50 press dips on one of the bars BUT it was in your own time and if you came down from the bar you had to muscle up to continue with your sets after a gruelling 10-20mins of this I then set us to do 10 pull ups and ten 10 chin ups and then 5 muscle ups ! although somehow we had the strength to finish it and at this point JIM arrived !!!!

We was all about ready to go home but we had two more things to do which was the finger mission near Marks and Spencer’s along the long wall then once we had done this we had to do the Library and My goodness the library has never been so enduring !

Well because of all of our lost energy we were all drained and at this point we was all CHUFFING hungry so me, Ryan, Jim, Gainey and Dale decided to go to pizza hut ! we feasted and flirted ( well Dale did ) and to end the night me, Ryan and Jim indulged in a viewing of Rambo 4 bloody Brilliant!!

SOOOOOO next session I would like to see more peeps if you can make it!!
