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 [...]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, [...]
Dare to combat
I finally went back to combat last night following the dreaded “sneeze”. The strain in my SI joint seemed to take it fine and I’m finally on the mend again and can start to build strength and fitness again.
In the meantime I’ve been doing a lot of vive, pilates and balance fill ins, and the extra [...]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 [...]BODYCOMBAT greatest hits
Last night Alexander had injured his foot and wasn’t up to going to combat, and although I’ve been a bit sick I decided to take the opportunity to go to combat (since I don’t get to go often enough).
The class wasn’t at the gym I normally teach, but at the other part of the chain [...]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 [...]Also back to combat
I was a bit apprehensive about trying combat again after all my problems, in particular because the sidekicks and roundhouses give me grief, but last week I tried it out with Alexander and did it again last night before my balance class (was a bit scared about getting through 2 classes, especially when I had [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]BODYCOMBAT
Tonight Alexander and I asked his sister to mind Connor for us so that we could both go to the gym to do BODYCOMBAT. It was a great class and it was nice to be combatting next to my husband again
We did the latest release of course, cuz they’re not mixing at the [...]Alexander passed
Well after what sounded like quite a tough training, Alexander passed! Congrats to him because I think it musn’t be easy trying to learn how to teach in a language that isn’t your own and the trainer sounded like he was very tough. Again it was a pretty exhausting day and I arrived to pick [...]
BODYCOMBAT with Shane
I finally combatted with the legendary Shane of McLaren Vale.
Shane has been a member of the groupfitness.org forum for a while and in the past Natty and Alexander have made the long trip down to McLaren Vale to combat with him. But back then I was teaching Thursday nights and unable to go.
So [...]BODYCOMBAT training
phew, following Friday’s effort, I can proudly announce now that Alexander is doing his combat training here in Adelaide!
It was a bit of an effort to get him registered, because I forgot it was on and then with the emergency dash to the dentist we didn’t know if he was going to make it, but it [...]BODYCOMBAT 36
Alexander and I went along and participated in the launch of BC36 at another gym with a instructor that is a friend of mine. The 2 instructors did a great job, but I still found my fitness level way down, despite it being my third combat class back. I’m starting to do a little bit [...]
First class back
Last night Alexander and I did combat together, for me being my first class back since giving birth. I took it easy and did all low impact, because despite being told I could continue exercise at the same level I was doing prior to giving birth, I was warned to be careful of any impact [...]
