Millie Hurtz Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello there! I'm Ceto, I'm 26 and freelance as a theatre technician which did mean long and awkward hours followed by a few days with nothing. In those working hours my diet would be terrible but I always thought it was balanced by the constant running around and lifting of heavy things. After a few years of doing that I felt like crap! Not too long ago I was made full time with a theatre company, regular hours, regular time off, time to have a decent lunch etc. Most importantly I started Roller Derby last year and LOVE IT! But I realised that I have a lot to work on and not just skills wise. Physically and mentally I could be better. Then I found this place and the stars seemed to align! Nerds and fitness? I'm there! So any tips for Roller Derby specific fitness would be most appreciated My ultimate endgame would be to play for Team England as a double threat (jammer and blocker) and have a picture of Stef Mainey *sigh* as my desk top wallpaper to motivate me. Both positions need explosive power and masses of core strength. I also need to improve my mental game, focus, peripheral vision, quick gameplay decisions. So I'm thinking somewhere between Monk/Druid (what is that, a Shaman?) with maybe a dash of Assassin. Right, I'm heading over to the Level 1 challenges to post my own 6 week challenge See you on the front lines, Ceto 2 Quote Ceto Lvl 3 Race: Half Elf / Half Dwarf | Class: Ranger STR 4 || DEX 6 || STA 3.5 || CON 4.75 || WIS 6 || CHA 3 Run 5km - PB 32 mins 30 secs Run 10km - PB 63mins 13 secs Deadlift - PB 3x10 @55kg Benchpress - PB 3x10 @54kg Narrow Grip Pull Downs - PB 3x10 @45kg Bent-over-row - PB 3x10 @45kgs 40min Cycle (on machine) - PB 22.41km on hardest resistance Roller Derby - PB 30 in 5 https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/66592/ Link to comment
