Each session starts with a debate, pretending to stretch or just plain standing around, it’s the same topic every time, “How much do we really like doing HIIT?”. Not a lot by all accounts but we return week after week, and even agree to continue as it moves to the new venue in the sports hall downstairs!
“We can have more equipment,” Pete enthuses, “the tyre (hmmm my favourite) the sledge hammer!”.
A quick run-through of the activities this session. There was a slight change to the equipment – more emphasis on power bags. Yes we used them all even the 'big daddy'.

All of a sudden we were off; a change to the timing for each activity meant a 15 second blast at maximum output. The usual jog on the spot, “This is your recovery,” followed by 30 seconds, or more, depending on the speed of the second hand on Pete’s Mickey Mouse watch, of star jumps, spotty dogs, pistol squats, burpees (thanks to Dave), and mountain climbs.
Dashing back and forth across the dance floor Pete looked like he was about to audition for a part in Riverdance - a replacement for Michael Flatly. “Boom, boom, boom”, he shouted, the word stamped loud and proud on the front of Izzy’s T shirt.
Then the discovery: Izzy and Kate live just over the boarder, in a neighbouring county. The jokes about cider, apples and webbed toes flowed freely - it’s difficult to counter-claim when giving your all.
"When I say three seconds left you carry on for three seconds, not stop". Izzy paid the price for her exhaustion, a five second forfeit.
By the end of this you two (Kate and Izzy) will be a size eight, (as if they’re not already). Amanda, you’re older, you'll be a size 12!!!!!! No change there then.
As for the group’s youngest victim, Dan, “Get your hair cut for next week, or Dave and I will do it for you”. Dan wants to be a Marine he took absolutely no notice and got on with showing us just what you can do when you have youth on your side.
