There used to be a thread called "Exercise, Tips and Chatter" or something but that was aaaages ago so I thought i'd start another one.
Just to chat about what your doing and how well it's going etc...
Anyone in?
As of tomorrow i'm back taking all my old classes again after pretty much 3 months off, and I can't wait!
I've also been doing as much Pump as I can to help prepare for Pump training at the end of the month
I'm still sitting out the lunge tracks in Pump (just to be safe) and not teaching any tracks in Combat that have Esquivas but i'm going to have to start building them back in agiain slowly before training - otherwise I just KNOW i'm going to get given the lunge track to present lol!
I haven't had PT for a while (money ) but I don't mind too much because i've been doing Pump, but hopefully once I have a bit more money in the next few months i'll be back in like Flynn
well i am hopefully starting back up this week coming. ideally i would do step on tues, rpm on wed and pump on saturday but realistically i will only do step.
do you have any tips for rpm? i really enjoy it apart from the sore bum and 'ladies' area. that kinda puts me off it al together.
You betcha I'm in - I'll subscribe to make sure I don't miss a thing!
CQ - ahhh, Pump training at the end of the month, how exciting. Looking forward to the Pump 'Challenge'? Kim Knott (QLD now, but was in SA) was my trainer for Pump. Do you know who the trainer is yet? So you get the hang of the timing why not do squats during the lunge track (to the same counts as they are doing lunges) instead of sitting it out ? New LM clothing range out in Feb, can't wait!!!! .
Hollo - yeah as CQ said a gel seat can help, other than that (and padded bike pants) I've found that doing a session every 3 or so days help 'harden up' the area you speak of . When I first came back to RPM after having DS 5 mths ago I almost cried the second day I'd do RPM in a row from pain in that region - so I understand totally!!
AFM - I've swapped Body Pump (which I'd usually do twice each week) with RPM and Body Attack to burn extra cals due to the Xmas / New Years (also DH's b'day). It's worked as I've dropped weight down to my goal (fitting into my work uniform pants ). Not sure what I'll do tomorrow, usually it'd be RPM - but I've really been enjoying Attack lately...decisions decisions!!!
I did laps of the pool this morning with CQ's youngest on my back - damn I'm out of shape! Also I worked out how much extra weight I used to carry around - which is quite scary!
Starting to take short walks each day - will build them up slowly.
I'll be reading this thread with interest. I am at a loss as to how to start some exercise. I guess walking is the best bet for me atm. With 3 little ones at home and DH won't let me go to the gym then my only choice is to exercise at home. Altough the local Delfine estate does have a PT who runs out door classes for only $3. These may be worth a look at too.
I am going back to training with my Step Into Life instructor from the 11th January doing a toning and a kick boxing class each week and I am starting the C25k tomorrow, getting ready for the 5 km event at the Bridges Fun Run here in Perth in April.
2009 was a great year excercise wise for me, I joined my Personal training group, stuck with it for 12 months doing between 2-3 classes a week and lost 17 kgs, now I am ready for my next excercise challenge which is the Fun Run.
Oooohhh I feel like I'm off to a GREAT start in 2010! I started seeing my PT twice a week in Marchish and have been plagued with injuries. The worst being slipped discs. For the last 5 months I've been severely restricted in what I can do because of my back (even walking has been almost impossible at times). But D (Trainer) helped me psych myself up for clinical pilates (I have group and personal space issues) and I've been doing that for about 3 months... and I'm finally reaping the rewards!!!! I am now able to work without my back brace (can't recall when I last wore it ) and have had a solid week of NO PAIN!!!!!!!! Even with PT! I'm not up to running yet but I feel like it's close again! Thus far I've lost about 8Kgs which I think is good considering the injuries... looking forward to losing much more!
Yep thats great news MG!!! I know where you're coming from with injuries
Ali - whats Step Into Life?? Good luck on the fun run...have you got a good training schedule?
Lees - do you think the clothing range will be out by workshop time? I'm not sure who the instructr is but I think it's Karen?? Kinda hoping it;s Ruthie T...as long as it's not Sharon Suusee - do you know her? She did my Combat training and she's a major cow!
I know it's totally slack not doing squats in the lunge track but i'm lazy lol! Everyone's mixing now but I have a copy (shhh) so i'll do it at home (yeah right)
Really looking forward to my first class back of the year tomorrow - put together an awesome mix and we are smashing are arms (I don't want to be in love owwww)!
well its just that i have 2 kiddies and they are not fans of the creche! my little one always screams the house down and my older one screams and clings and cries when i drop her off. its just a hassle for an hour a day!
but i would like to do at least 3 classes a week. i did step the other day (31st dec, so last sess of the year) and it was soooo bad! hadnt been for weeks. i was so contimplating leaving after only 30mins! hehe
i used to do attach before my second baby.. would like to start that up again at some stage during the year but need to get a bit fitter first.
so is it likely that we would all have the same instructors if we are in qld or something?
Exercise chat and tips round 2!
