Well, my booties for my slideboard arrived yesterday! woo! they are basically overshoes for your trainers so you can slide on the board, and well I had been putting plastic bags on my feet which give moreor less the same effect!
Although having got on the board, it seems that the booties are a little grippier than the bags, and I have to push that little harder to slide! I actually is a better work out due to the fact i'm working harder to move! but i'll have to re-assess my method of lubrication the board to see if theres something better out there!
My session went:
Pyramid Intervals (1:30secs recovery)
2 Min - 3 Min - 4 Min - 3 Min - 2 Min
5 Minute Rest
3 Sets of 8 X Lateral Leg Abduction with 20kg Shoulder Press and 12 X 1 Leg Squat (20kg each leg)
This felt really good, and I generally enjoyed it! will progress onto longer on the pyramid intervals for the next slideboard session!
This morning I gave my legs the morning off (a little!) and did 4 X 2 Min Hard effort rows, with 1 min recovery on the rowing machine, followed by 3 lots of 12 X 40kg Chest Press and 3 X 12 Bent over rows, body is definitely hurting now!
Tonight I plan to either cycle or skate (preferably skate!) on the road I tried on Saturday, will just work as hard as I can for an hour, focusing on technique and power!
