Started my last week at the BLR - both happy and sad! I am looking forward to coming back home and getting back to normal life in NC, but this has been a really good place for me and I will miss the routine, the food that I did not have to cook and the great staff.
So, a refresher to what a week is like here and detailed explanation on the classes so you can do them where you are:
6 am 45 min stretch class
7:15 breakfast
8 am leave for hike - depending on drive time to your hike that day, hikes are 2 to 2.5 hours
1045 to 11am return from hike
11:15 either pool class or stretch class for 45 minutes - you can choose.
12:15 lunch
1:15 lecture if you are a new guest or open gym for stay over guests (I usually do weight training during this time).
2:30 to 3:15 pm first group fitness class of afternoon
3:30 to 4:15 pm 2nd group fitness class
4:30 to 5:15 pm 3rd class - can choose btw pool or a cardio class
5:30 dinner
6:15 lecture for new guests
Each class is lead by a trainer with a 2nd trainer there to assist and help. Afternoon classes change every day.
Today my afternoon classes were:
Circuit training - 2 minutes on cardio equipment going as hard as u can, then 45 secs on weight machine, 30 secs rest, 2nd 45 secs on weight machine, then back to cardio for 2 minutes, repeat several times for 45 minutes.
2nd class was Core Training - which is what it sounds like core exercises for 45 minutes. Each trainer has their own way to teach the core class - had a different trainer for this class every week so it has been different every time.
3rd class was Mountain Cardio, which is my least favorite. Today I was lucky and was able to skip bc I had a meeting with the nutritionist to set up a meal plan for when I leave.
Posted is photo of me and one of the trainers, John. John has been great with working with me and my knees issues - helping me to modify exercises and checking on me and how my knees were doing on a daily basis. They really do care and know what they are doing here. Like my hair in the photo??? Just finished working out, FYI.
