Weighted Bag Gloves?

[AdamGB]

Thanks, just finishing the last week of my Advanced Personal Trainer qualification. Not really a lot I don't know (mostly need it so I can get public liability insurance and go self employed) it's really getting me to look at the training/eating habits that I've developed basically just from doing whatever has worked from me.

looking back over what I used to do and what I've ended up doing it's quite interesting to see that even on stuff I didn't have knowledge of I've more or less evolved into something scientifically relevant. When I started changing up my road work for boxing, nobody really told me to do interval training or what it was... I could just feel it engaging me in a way relevant to boxing... this is going back a couple of years before I really knew what the energy systems were or how they worked etc.

I'm doing a nutrition module too, interesting to learn that the way I've developed to eat around and during my training is text book in terms of blood sugar levels etc... I wish I'd read it from a text book in teh first place rather than getting countless stitches/sugar crashes etc though!

What was quite interesting to find out was that my protien intake was 0.4 of a gram higher for some one of my size/activity level than what it ideally should according to theoretical quantaties etc

the thing is... lets say I'm meant to be getting 140g of protein on a normal day (not HEAVY training, that's about 40g extra, which is what I take on from the shake I have on those days any way... ) I'm taking in about 140.4g of protein just from listening to my body/learning what ammount makes me hurt less the next day but doesn't make me feel bloated. Not bad for just 'guestimating'

I really think with minimal knowledge and the sense to listen to their bodies and look at themselves objectively that you can really find what works for you. Been quite satisfying learning that what I feel works does infact work.

(sorry to go off on a massive tangent here!! )





Anyway... the long and short of it is I'm getting this qualification, it's ran intensively (about 1/6th of the time the colleges do it in) so I haven't had time to phone you!!

Congratulations man, that's awesome news!

Anyways, I enjoy your posts, Adam. I usually don't say anything about it, because I often feel there's nothing else I can add.
