Cardioboxing class

I got a phone call this morning (about 8.55am) from my boss down at the gym asking if I was busy. I told him I was actually on my way down to the gym to train. He said “Oh good, I have a surprise for you – see you in about 10 minutes”. Anyway, here I was thinking he had made up a cardio cd for me to run to (he made me a small one yesterday but his son is a real whiz with creating mixed cds for the gym) and I got all excited. I got to the gym about 5 minutes later only to be asked if I could teach a group of 18 school kids (all around 15-16 years old) cardioboxing class. WTF!!! I have never taught a class in my life!! He played the music they use and it all sounded pretty simple but I am normally really shy and was secretly shaking in my boots (well, trainers LOL). They were arriving for a 9.30am class so I had about 15 minutes to work it all out. Man, what a test that was! I figured I am going to have to do it sooner or later as part of my training so I might as well give it a shot. Let me just say I HAD THE BEST TIME!!!! OMG, I loved it. It was a heap of fun and I so want to take classes ALL THE TIME. It is so much more fun than working the gym floor (and 3 times as much money). The kids were all thanking me after the class. I hope he asks me again

Cardio is back baby

Oh how I have missed it so much LOL. I stopped doing any cardio work back in January when my trainer wanted me to focus on building more muscle. Well I didn’t like it very much as I was gaining body fat again. Don’t get me wrong, I was building muscle, but just didn’t like the “bigger” feeling IYKWIM. Anyway, he isn’t around anymore so cardio is back baby – ner ner ner ner ner LMAO. For the past week I have been heading down to gym at 5.45am and doing a 6km run (and loving it). Cycle class is on every Wednesday night as well. I go back to the gym to do my weights at 9am (after I have dropped the kids off at school). Although next week my hours are changing at work so I won’t be able to train until after 12noon. I have got a split 2 day program with full upper body one day and legs/abs the next day. Will post them up later. So far so good. I had to change my appointment too with my dietitian as I won’t be able to make my early appointment next week. So I won’t be seeing her until 4 June now. My diet has been clean though and there has already been a change in the last week so fingers crossed it is all good from here on.
