Bridge pose
In Balance, when we do bridge pose, on the videos it always explicitly explains that we must squeeze our buttocks while lifting up.
However I once had a PT client that used to do pilates who said to me that they explicitly state to NOT squeeze the buttocks.
Yesterday I participated in a pilates class where the [...]BODYCOMBAT 44
I can’t believe “You’re Shining” is in the latest combat! That breaks my heart, since I recommended that song ages ago and was dying for that to be in combat or attack.
I’ve been so out of it when it comes to all the latest Les Mills stuff. A few weeks ago I finally purchased the [...]Chiro
My chiro is amazing. There’s just nobody like him, I just have to say it. You’d think a knee injury would have nothing to do with my back, but after seeing my chiro and getting my hips straightened out again (it’s a process over a few weeks to get back to normal) my knee suddenly [...]
Injured Knee
I’ve started getting much more motivated to get back into fitness since getting back to Oz, and since finding a wonderful park down the road Alex and I regularly take Connor down there to play and I do some mini fitness sessions for myself. I’ve been getting motivated to do intervals, jogging up the hill [...]
Fun Theory
More of these could help people finally get fitter!

BODYVIVE
With most people going on holidays at the moment (it’s the summer vacation period here), it means I’m doing a few extra fill ins, and today I did my first vive fill in. I haven’t done a lot of vive since I did my training on BV4, but I’ve noticed while the music seems a [...]
Epe fillin
ah so now I’ve been asked to do a fill in at another centre, which isn’t a problem in itself, but it means I have to drive on….
…..the freeway….
This is quite scarey for me, which I can’t remember if I’ve explained before, but the people here drive on the freeway crazy compared with tiny ol’ [...]Launches
We finally had our launches for BODYBALANCE 45 ( our launches are a LOT behind Australia I know!) and I taught the standing strength track out of the half block we presented (the other other was pilates, as it was an express block format for the launches).
Since at the launch there’s lots of new people [...]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 [...]Dutch Dally
Well, I’m recovering from my first ever Dutch Dally, a social gathering of Les Mills instructors and participants, first inspired by the original EUROMAD held in the UK in 2004, set up by forum goers in The Netherlands……..or rather, set up by John. . These events allow some people to meet for the first time and [...]
“Food bigger factor than exercise?”
I read this article in The Australian and I don’t like the message it sends in my opinion. The message that you shouldn’t exercise if you want to lose weight is bad. The article suggests that diet is far more important than exercise in losing weight, and that exercise is more likely to make you hungry and [...]
Straightened out
After a few appointments my back is much straighter and I’m feeling better than I have in AGES! I hardly get any pain now and I’ve started doing classses again so this is huge.
I did balance over a week ago and I felt fine and had SOOO much more flexibility. It is clear that I’ve [...]Back relapse
Things have are suddenly not so good for my back. Yesterday, while it appeared I did almost nothing at all, a simple little turn while walking away from the table has rendered me almost unable to stand. I can’t stand up straight and I’ve been in agony for 24 hours now.
At first I thought I had triggered [...]Feeling a bit more positive
I’ve had some great replies on the below topic on the post I made on the forum, and people have given some really great advice. I was a PT so I know what I need to do to get myself back into shape again. The only thing is, that even Personal Trainers need a Personal [...]
Uninspired, unmotivated and struggling
I wrote this post on groupfitness.org but I thought I’d also include it here.
Some of you may know that over a year ago I fell pregnant with my now 7 month old son. At that point I was at the peak of my fitness. I struggled for 4 years to get my weight down to 72kg, [...]
