OUCH Winter! Maybe a good foot soaking? But YAY for the walk, catch up, and muscles feeling better!

[ladybird11]

Good work on still getting out there and doing something ladies .

How are the feet feeling now Winter! Ouchies indeed! Good thing you can do Balance without your shoes on .

MG - yes, this is the 3rd day above 40 and I decided in my wisdom to 'tone it down' and I just did Body Pump this afternoon. The heat has warmed up the house now - and we're in for another stinker tomorrow too. It won't stop me exercising though!

[Mother Goose]

Leesa - good for you! I won't be training tomorrow... 41 here! By the time Iget home from work it will be too disgusting... plus I have PT on Tues - first session with my trainer in 2 weeks! It's going to be a killer!

Awh! So glad I'm not in your class! I'm scared! LOL

[boomba]

Can i come join ladies.. CQ I need you to smash me please...that sounds kinda rude xx

[Winter]

Give me a B! Give me an O!

Welcome Boomba! Where are you in your exercising journey?

[ladybird11]

he he - I'm sure CQ could help you out there hun!!

Welcome Boomba of course you can join us!! The more the merrier.

CQ - I think we should split the group in half so we can train half each . You combat them and I'll attack them he he!!

Um just starting...DS2 is 10 weeks this week and I have a big wedding in October so am wanting to loose at least 15kgs by then. So am starting my new body workout this week Eeeek!

[C~Q]

Hun you know i'll smash you whenever you want!!! Whats the go with the gym though hun? Or we can do stuff at home if you like

[Winter]

I'm sorry Leesa, but I'd have to go with CQ. I tried Fat Attack (well, that's what I call it!) and it was fun but a bit too 80s aerobics for me. I felt like I should have been wearing one of those g-string up the bum leotards and leg warmers! Oh and I felt like vomiting most of the time! (Which is why it works, I guess)

[C~Q]

Lees - great idea! We should start a BootCamp!

ETA - Winter PMSL...dindn't you like "Iceskatering" and "Supermanning" accross the stage lol! only kidding. I KNOW that Attack is the hardest class by miles! And after Pump it is next on my instructor list

Awww, no one wants Attack . There are always low impact options ;-).

They're all yours to Combat CQ .

[boomba]

Thanks girls!
Havent heard back from the gym its a good thing though! I am keen for you to come train me! Am starting waling in the morning hopefully...will see how I go with the 2 monkeys lol!

Im in for Combat...although I did like attack ..maybe when i am fit though!

[C~Q]

Did you call the gym? Which one? Whatever you want to do hun i've gotcha back

[boomba]

It was through holland park...ahvent called them I will wait till they call me I am not ready to be doing classes yet...i need more time and to be fitter!

[ladybird11]

No excuses Boomba .

I've had people weigh 120kgs do my Attack class. They started with the low impact options, did what they could and kept at it .

Maybe this might help....

Don’t give yourself time to think; over-thinking about exercise saps motivation. If you have scheduled exercise for 5.30 pm and you find yourself thinking about it during the day, then make yourself think about something else. At 5.30, just do it. Paralysis through analysis is not the way to exercise motivation. It’s like getting out of bed; the more you think about it, the more time you spend in bed. Just do it. There are times when it’s best not to think.

Emil Zátopek, one of the greatest middle- and long-distance runners in history, once said: “If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then willpower is no longer a problem. It’s raining? That doesn’t matter. I am tired? That’s beside the point. It’s simply that I just have to.”

Tell yourself your upcoming session is “non-negotiable”. Are you one of life’s contenders or not?

But if you can’t help yourself and you do start thinking about not doing it, then consider my next tip…

Thats cool, I need a weights buddy anyway! And now i've found out that you can plug your ipod into the treadmill I'll be living on it once we get the new releases!
