    Rach - how far are you running??

    I downloaded the C25k program on my iPod the other morning, but we've had a heatwave since - so I haven't started it yet. But I'm keen to run 5km's with no breaks in 8 weeks!

    Well I only ran for the first time in 12 weeks last week! I have no idea how far I ran, I was watching BC 35!!! In the power tracks I ran at about 12kph, in the combat tracks about 9kph and in the cool down and if I wanted to learn the chorey I put it down to 6 and cranked the incline to about 12%.

    Love it!!!

    I just did Combat and I tried to SMASH it! Got to vomit peak once and didn't stop on anything, just brought the intensity down when I couldn't breathe!!

    Need to get myself a heart rate monitor to see what my little heart is beating at when I hit those peaks, would be interesting to know...

    How is everyone else's day shaping up?

    I had a bizarre morning / freaky experience!

    I had just finished doing RPM 45 - then DH says he wants a shot. So I set up the heart rate monitor for him, sit down at the laptop while he starts the DVD, open up FB and there is Sarah Ostergaard - messaging me (she is the wife and co-presenter of RPM for Les Mills, so, in my eyes a BIG deal). I'm like 'OMG, Sarah - as you message me I'm watching you on the RPM 45 DVD' - bizarre .

    So yes, I've done RPM so far, and plan to do Attack later on this evening...

    Awesome to hear everyone is still moving and keeping at it!

    Woohoo leckert!!! I'm also filling in for a 10am Pump class at the same place this Sunday followed by an 11am Balance class...you should join me for at least Balance too .

    CQ - I'm looking at going to a filming - maybe early next year perhaps. I have to bring the family lol, although I don't think DH realises how many hours I'll be spending at a gym though. You're going mid year this year aren't you?

    I don't know, I probably won't be able to afford it...it depends on a lot of things. If I can't I really want to go to Filex but i'll prob have to work there so I get in for free

    WOW you girls have chatted today!

    I'll do your class Leesa!... Except I don't DO classes! I can't handle groups... but by the looks of it, it might be 1:1!

    I am still so sore today after all the squats I did on the weekend. Bending for my locker at work and to deal with patients was painful! But I loved every bit of the pain! I'm not doing anything tonight though - way too hot here and I have PT tomorrow... which is going to inflict more pain undoubtedly because I have put on 2Kg in the 2 weeks D has been away... which - punishment

    Alright, I'm off to take DD for a swim...

    Doh Liz - I'm skipping church this weekend . As they go up for communion I'll probably be doing lunges .

    MG - One on one is great fun - your on PT you don't have to share, totally focussing on you and your technique . You WILL be doing classes missy!! Thats cool, there are heaps of options!

    CQ - You've planted that seed in my head to go, although its always been a life goal of mine to go. Nothing wrong with working at Filex at all hun!

    LOL Leesa, I LOVE your optimism! D thrives on it too! LOL. I think that if I EVER did a class, he'd drop dead! he's been trying to get me to do various classes since we started... but I really don't do well in groups! LOL

    I'm having a fat day here. Wishing I was on my treadmill...

    I was back to training with my trainer this morning, and even though I did a bit of jogging/ walking over the break I still found it a bit tough. I am going to have to go and see a physio before I do too much more running though as I have a sore knee, my knee cap is misaligned. I am going to go for a walk in the morning and then I have a toning (weights) session on Wednesday morning and Kickboxing on Friday.

    I have been thinking about getting some excercise DVD's just to mix it up a bit, I dont want my body getting to used to any one thing, and I need some things to keep my heart rate up and the calories burning- anyone got any suggestions? Also anyone got a wii fit with any good programs to use other than the wii fit and wii fit plus? Just wanting to have different things to keep me motivated and moving

    I totally smashed my class tonight! Leesa what was the last release you taught? It was the BEST mix and I almost threw up on stage!!!

    Seriously could not breath after the end of track 6 and thats supposed to be a recovery!

    Do share the mix please (even if its more recent releases)!

    I chuckled reading your enthusiasm then Rach, thata girl

    AFM - I was bored after Contender so I did Body Attack . So RPM and Attack in one day. I'm happy with that.

    You mean you were bored after the first 1min 30 secs of the Contender??! It was such a cop out hey

    It was, I have to say, an awesome mix!

    Listen To Your Heart/Trouble
    Out In The Fields
    Baby I'll Let You Know
    Power of the Mind/Tubthumping (40 I think it's awesome and no recovery!)
    You Can't Stop The Beat
    Burn It To The Ground (40 again!)
    We Rock
    What Hurts The Most
    When I Grow Up
    Because Of You

    I always to that warmup and cooldown together, they work so well.

    It was great but I was really dissappointed doing the conditioning track - as a participant I can do most of the tricep push ups on my toes but last night I ony did 3 going to keep doing it though - it will not beat ME!!!!!

    By the way Leesa - can you pm me your add as I have something for you

    Hmmmm, you have me intrigued .

    I'm actually considering doing Combat this evening Rach - you'd be proud .

    There are so many awesome songs to choose from - although I think Baby I'll let you know is the only one I know .
