BODYPUMP with PPCA free music
The news of the copyright tribunal decision is hitting the fitness industry, and Fernwood are another gym that are going all PPCA free music as of June 1st (or rather “gone”). I haven’t purchased any of the new releases as yet, since I’m currently not teaching and I’m working full time, so yesterday morning I [...]
3 months
OMG it’s been nearly 3 months since I posted on my blog! Before I married my husband one of my biggest blog fans was………my husband. If I didn’t write on it for a few days I soon heard about it from him, so that really motivated me to keep writing. But now, being a mother, [...]
Don’t sneeze
Well the last couple of weeks I’ve had a cold, and last week I managed to sneeze and strain one of the ligaments around my sacroilliac joint. So it’s been back to the chiropractor for me and lots of rest.
I’ve still been doing my balance classes, but this has basically meant no combat or pump [...]95 Kids from Denmark
ok talk about a challenge! We had 95 kids come through the gym today (because the weather was too bad to do a fitness program outside) and since half the kids were from Denmark and couldn’t speak Dutch, the classes were explicitly requested to be taught in English.
Since I obviously have the best English at the [...]I’m back
In more ways than one. Firstly, I’m back to writing in this blog after going back to Australia for a month and then just being too lazy to write on here. Ok a lot has been going on, so I can’t possibly catch up here……but instead I’ll talk about the second thing I’m back to………which [...]
Les Mills workshop this weekend
I’m all registered for the Les Mills workshop this weekend, for pump, combat and balance. The rules are quite different here in that you have to attend all the classes you are certified for (in order to keep up your qualifications) and have to attend at least 3 out of 4 workshops. Initially I didn’t [...]
BODYPUMP Greatist Hits
OK, so I managed to make myself go to pump tonight. I haven’t done pump for a while because of my back pain as well as my heal problems which gives me excrutiating pain in the lunges. But Alex helped massage out the problem bits yesterday so I thought I’d give it a go.
I couldn’t [...]Pump/Combat
Since I’ve done a few pump classes now and some of the tracks were starting to get easier, I decided it was time to take my weights up a little bit. I’m still way off my old pre-pregnancy weights, but it felt good to just nudge them up a little.
Needless to say my legs were [...]Training
Well haven’t really lost much weight in the last month, but I have been getting fitter though. It is difficult, because I can’t exercise at the intensity I would like to due to back pain and hip problems as a result of the hormones from pregnancy. I’ve even had a niggling pain in my heel [...]
BBQ aka “Terras Monique” ….take 2
Finally we have returned from the BBQ at John’s, and this time we got the right weekend, lol. Because I met John last weekend, that meant the only people there I was yet to meet was Keyla and the rest of Vicki’s family. Sigma, Vicki, Janne and Rien I had met previously when I came [...]
First pump
While having issues at one gym (which I won’t name), at the other gym I was teaching the atmosphere has been entirely different. The reception from reception (sorry about that pun ) has been very warm and welcoming. They’ve been fussing over Connor and fighting over who gets to hold him.
They even invited me [...]Last classes
I’ve been gradually winding down the number of classes that I teach over the last couple of months, and tonight I announced that it’d be the last time teaching my Pump/Balance combo at Goodlife (formerly known as Zest). I feel proud that I’ve managed to come this far, but with only a week left to [...]
Birthday dinner
Although I’ve got so much going on at the moment, I decided last minute to go out for dinner for tonight at Cafe Nova in Gawler, and despite the really late notice it was awesome to have so many of my friends able to come.
I didn’t want it to be a huge night, since [...]Teaching while pregnant
I need to say, that I have been quite surprised at how uncomfortable BODYBALANCE is beginning to become to teach. Out of all my programs I teach I expected that BODYBALANCE I’d keep on doing the longest. But now I’m starting to get a bit bigger, BODYBALANCE is getting really cumbersome………I can’t do forward fold [...]
BODYPUMP 65 launch
For the BODYPUMP launch there were actually 2 launches for this class, one on Saturday and one in my class on Sunday, since all the classes over the weekend were launch classes. Tim was supposed to launch with me, but I got a call on Friday asking if I could do it on my own, [...]
