This week at the Nuffield Gym Ashley the Personal Trainer had designed a training circuit for the pupils to attempt. The circuit was a combination of a seating weight lift, rowing machine, ski pull, sledge push and lunges. Ashley timed the pupils on each activity and when directed they rotated around each station to complete the circuit. The pupils regularly hydrated on breaks between attempting the circuit and after three rotations they moved on to the cross trainer to finish. Ashley had ensured that the pupils completed a warm up prior attempting the circuit and an effective cool down activity to complete the visit.
The pupils enjoyed the circuit, I use the term lightly as during the activity they looked tired but after in the cafe they reflected and said they did enjoy the workout with Ashley and felt great.
Needless to say the journey back to school was very quiet!!!!!!
Next week in addition to using the gym the staff at Nuffield have kindly agreed to be interviewed by the pupils as part of their involvement in the schools careers week.
Thank you to Ashley and Nuffield for providing the pupils with this fantastic opportunity to access and experience the Health Club facilities.
