Freelancing

I have been hard at work in the gym for four weeks now. For the next week, I will not be working out to my normal written down routine - I am 'freelancing'.

So what does this mean? Each day, a trainer will take me through a series of different exercises based on one body group - today it was arms. None of these exercises I have previously done before. Today I had to do:

Done twice:
15 reps - presses with the cable cross over machine
15 reps - single arm flies on the 'bubble' bench
700 sprint on the bike, level 10

Then:
1KM on the treadmill at 7.0km
2.5KM on the cross trainer at level 10
3 x 20 reps, triceps press using cable cross over machine with rope, over my head, 10 seconds between reps

Then abs:
Laying down, legs at 90 degrees, with 5kg medicine ball on my ankles - holding for 1 minute (twice)
Legs in air and crunching with 5kg medicine ball as many as possible (twice)

This is the only time I am doing this particular routine.

So why freelance? Your body gets used to the workouts you are doing. But mixing it up occasionally you force your body to do something else and assists you in gaining your goals. If you do the same workouts again and again and again then you become accustomed to what is required and attaining your goals becomes that little bit harder. Tomorrow, I have back free lancing (They are closed for monday public holiday). I will go back to my normal routine after a week.
