University offer
oh crap, just when I’d forgotten all about that application I’d put into University to do a postgrad degree, I get an offer.
I’ve been sent an offer for a position at University to study for a Master of Human Resource Management. The degree is 1.5 years full time, but I’m looking at doing it part [...]BODYPUMP 61
Taught this in it’s entirety for the first time tonight. I think it’s quite a good alround release although there’s a couple of tracks that I think suck, but that’s personal music taste really. I’m sure others will like the songs Sexyback and Deja Vu, but I just can’t get into them.
After lots of listening [...]Launches today
Today we had our six-in-one launches where we do 30 mins of each program. I’m starting to wonder whether I’ve made a
bad decision taking on a 4th program cuz it’s been a bit tough learning all the chorrey, and we weren’t even launching whole releases? I’m hoping that it’s just the pressure of my new [...]lesmills.com launches new website
well, finally LMI have launched their new website and I have to say I personally think it’s been a bit of an anticlimax. The fact that many error pages come up and the registration process doesn’t work properly (along with the program codes) is quite disappointing. The graphics are great, but I think they’ve neglected [...]
update to totallylesmills.com
I’ve done a little work on updating totallylesmills.com today. Some work towards making the site more obviously “unofficial” so that people don’t get the site confused with the official Les Mills International website. In the past a lot of people have mistakenly believed the old btstalk site to be an official LM site, so hopefully [...]
Confession
oh man………I have a deep very embarrassing confession to make…..
Tonight in combat I called a scissor a “shuffle”
I’m so so so sorry………please allow me to be free of my sinsWriting…
I’ve never done this before
A tarot reader told me to try this
And this is what came out….
I’ll never forget
the night we spent
I’ll remember your touch
inside of me and out of me
I don’t know how to express
how I feel
but it’s deep inside of me
wanting to come out
but I can’t find the key
maybe I threw it away
so [...]Heart rate in BODYPUMP
ok I’ve taken a few readings on my HR monitor from BODYPUMP classes, but this is the first time I’ve recorded them from my Monday night class where I usually lift my maximum weights (and do crazy things like daring members to do 30kg squats with me ).
So tonight I did it, I went [...]6am
Man, a very very special event happened at Zest this morning…….possibly a once in a lifetime occurance! lol
I taught a 6am pump class there, haha. I haven’t taught at 6am in about 2 years!!!! I normally would say no, but because I’m working so much at Zest Modbury now and cuz they’ve treated me fairly [...]Heart rate
well today’s heart rate readings were quite interesting. The gym I was teaching at today has much much better air conditioning and also a smaller stage (I can’t stretch out as much…….lol) which I think contributed to the readings.
Pump (BP58 - except lunges from BP60)
339 calories
55% fat
Max HR - 149
Avg HR - 114
Attack (BA55)
504 calories
50% [...]Last day of BodyTrainer
Well the last day was today! yay…….I can finally get a day off now, since I haven’t had a day off in weeks. I’m hanging out for next Friday where I can just spend a day sleeping in, doing nothing, lumping around and hybernating. Awesome.
It was a bit difficult cuz the course was so far [...]Heart rate monitor
I had a play with my new heart rate monitor tonight. I shadowed attack first and then taught combat………both classes were the new releases. The results were really interesting.
In attack I dropped back to the options a lot during the Interval track, since there was a newbie member that needed help. So I demo’ed the [...]Smoke alarm
Dammit just what I needed. Stupid smoke alarm malfunctioned in the early hours of the morning, meaning I got woken up at 6am and didn’t get much sleep.
The alarm is hard wired into the roof so there was no chance of taking it down. Eventually I managed to isolate which power circuit it was on [...]30kg squats
Tonight in pump was D-day and as per my previous entry I had my challenge with one of the members to raise my squat weight to 30kg.
I’ve been extremely sore lately and so I was starting to feel nervous about meeting this challenge…….lol……….but I didn’t want to back down. I had my much desperately needed [...]Adelaide Workshop Q1 - 2007
Well I have to say I didn’t do a whole lot this time around. I learnt my lesson after last time and that it’s just too hard to teach 5 classes on the weekend (Sat - BP/BA/BB, Sun - BP/BB) and then participate in the workshop aswell. Not to mention I’ve still been very tired. [...]
