Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

Ermmmm yeah, about that.... I've just been scheduled to teach 'StrictlyFIT' classes (our version of Strictly Come Dancing) the launch is this Saturday but I'll be teaching two classes for good now at 9am and 2.30pm :-( So I'm not coming up...
Besides, didn't really want to com up when we're the only club not actually having a proper meal out somewhere!
But you'll still have loads of fun!!

so this is where your journal is hiding is it!

strictly fit??? lol and i thought my lass taught some weird sounding classes!

I did say I lied and that my journal was boring!

These are the first classes I've taught! I'm a national level ballroom dancer, but didn't realise when you teach exercise to music, you have to teach everythnig round the other way!!! D'oh!! Like I don't get my left and right foot mixed up enough as it is!

Did Quads:
LEG PRESS
50kgs 60 reps
70kgs 25 reps
90kgs 15 reps WOOP!!!!!
Never thought I'd get 15 reps at that number! All reps today were as deep as the seat would actually allow on the 45 degree leg press. Pretty excited about going back to heavier now to see what I can do... :-D

LEG EXTENSION
12.5kgs 50 reps
13.5kgs 25 reps
17.5kgs 15 reps

Felt a bit cheated in t'end that I hadn't started as heavy as last week, but I was all out after the Leg Press!

Strictly fit sounds SOOOOOO much fun!

I want to come along!!!! My Paso is to DIE for darlink.....although my biscuit tin Rhumba is a bit rusty..


Legs going GREAT there lady!!!

And yes, get this baby moved to COMPETITORS section!!!!!!!

ahhh so pre class nerves then?? lol  Im sure you will be fine doing ETM classes if you have been at national level dancing.  Wont be long before your on the power trip of having a class full of people coppying everything you do and doing as they are told!  Just try not to laugh when you make a mistake, or fidget or something and everyone copies it! haha

I might try some funky arms in m first class just to amuse myself and see what I can get them to do!!!
 
Chrissie - I'm not competing for another 8/9 months - hardly think there's 'owt in here to inspire anyone!
 
 Trained Biceps tonight that I missed this morning - weights up WOOP! Then did 15mins Stepper Intervals, Level 6-8.
 
But, my wee bit of driving at t'weekend, during Carl's 9.5hr saga to Manchester, has caused a rather large lump to appear on my ankle... I'm clearly born to be a lady of leisure and not drive methinks...

GOOD!!!!!! Cos if you don't I'll say "Fi, remember last year when you said you'd look so different next time you saw me? You lied" And don't think I wouldn't!!
 
Have hurty my footy Badly.
I think it happened yesterday when I looked behind me to speak to ex-client (NOTE TO SELF EX CLIENTS CLEARLY AREN'T WORTH SPEAKING TO ) and I tripped over the foot of an X-Trainer...
 
Carried it off rather well with no kissing the floor, just mildly embarassing pi$$-take out of self needed, which I did.
 
This morning, in aggers, swollen inside of foot. 
 
Went to work, did an hour, trained Shoulders and had to do side lats seated as couldn't be trusted to support own heffer-ness on dodgy foot. Did evil 100-reps, then decided to brave it through Stepper for 11mins and X-Trainer for 15mins. Then had Ibuprofen (which did nothing) and now at home with ice wrapped around footage and pondering whether to neck some Diclofenac or whatever that anti-inflammatory is called... (Must remember not to mix it up with any of Carl's tablets in cupboard as I'd have to change feds if I did

Seated Shoulder press
3.5kgs 60 reps
6kgs 25 reps
10kgs 15 reps woop!!!!! 

SEATED DB Side Lat Raises
2kgs 60 reps
4kgs 25 reps
5kgs 15 reps

Then did
11 mins Stepper, Random, level 8 and
15 mins X-Trainer, Random, level 8 (which was quite hard as I guess it would be with one gammy foot!)

Someone made me feel like a million dollars today -  so I said no to a biscuit this evening...

Sitting here feeling very smug and superior at an impromptu clean day... :-D

Just booked my flights, February 10th, I have a hot date with a rickety camp bed which I am thoroughly going to enjoy chez ChrissieG WOOP!!!
 
I want a day at BodyAcademy and a day at Enterprise please!!! Ooooh and a day at MarineCraft (for a giggle) :-D
I'm so excited ooee, and I just can't hide it!
 
Did an hour's StrictlyFit practise this morning, with microphone which was a wee bit scary. Carl was perfect guinea pig as he can't follow at all!!!!

Did you make him wear the tight trousers and spangly shirt?????

What are your plans for next year?

Tee hee no. If my legs weren't so hugggeeee and flabtastic, I'd be donning a cutie skirt at the class on Saturday! He'd gotten bored of playing with a TRX Suspension Trainer and thought he'd come and have a nosey...

Next year, I wanted to do BNBF Scottish but won't have enough time to diet as not coming back from Canada until mid-March.

So.... either BNBF Welsh or Centrals (depending upon when I'm ready); and I'd really like to do one of the bigger NPA Shows oop North - if I'm ready.

Talked to Chrissie the other day and said I'm gonna treat my qualifier like my finals, and try and look the bestest of bestest I have ever, and could ever look. If I achieve that, I'd actually be quite happy not to do finals next year and just be content in the knowledge that it is possible to achieve the condition I want.

So I'm literally just thinking about my qualifier, rather than doing my half-a$$ed 'I'll save it all for the finals' and then not doing so malarkey.

I want people to sit up, take notice, and go "Fook me, she worked hard in that year off".

Does that make any sense at all??

Sorry for the long-winded answer!!!

Makes a lot of sense to me chuckie, thank you for sharing.

Makes uber sense Hun! I've talked this through with Paul before and said I can't understand why people focus on the finals before they've even qualified. Surely the focus should be looking sh*thot for each and every show. There is just no easy qualifiers and you never know who is going to turn up. Just never made sense to me Obviously everyone plans to improve for the finals but to actually PLAN to come in at 80% seems mad and actually quite arrogant!! FFS what do I know anyway....I'll be eating my words next year hahahahaha!

Quite xx

Hey hey hey!!!
 
No rickety camp bed in Bling Mansions......you will be in Midi sleeper castle type affair that Cal lovingly calls his 'Hood'.....if you're lucky, I'll even let you have the Rory the Racing Car duvet set.... Hee!
 
Oh yes.......Body Academy, Enterprise, the CRAFT.....muscle girls on tour 2010!!!!  Will get the Clachan stones and DAF truck ready....
 
Really made me smile when you confirmed yesterday!!!!
 
Totally totally think your approach is the right one angel.
 
Skippity skip........oooooo it's gonna be MESSY!!!!! HEE!!!!
 

Tan - you're totally right... I guess in the BNBF, I know they look at your potential, to decide whether to qualify you or not. You could probably come 4th out o a tough line up and still qualify (6th in men's classes). Plus I never thought I could peak twice (or even close to peaking!)

But I have changed a bit in that I don't really want to come 4th in a qualifier. I don't want to just qualify anymore. I've NEVER won a BNBF title, and I really want to. I also want to stand in a tough line up (realistically Centrals or Northern more often than not) and know that I can stand there with the best of 'em.

I don't know if I can win my pro card next year. I won't know until after the qualifiers to see how well I stacked up. And I'm not in a hurry. It took VickyMC 6 years (I think) to get hers so I need to take my head out of my a$$ in thinking I can do it in 3 :-D

The thing that will keep me on my toes next year, is knowing I won't get a look in in NPA Physique unless I sort out my conditioning - that's a real motivator for me and will certainly keep me on my toes! I've set myself a goal to get U55, I shouldn't have to chop a leg off but that's how it feels right now! I think, somewhere, hiding, I might have some quite good leggies - maybe :-)

I'm gonna try to catch up with Karen when she gets back from hols and see whether she might want to prep me next year. If not, I'm not realy sure what the plan is!!!

I DON'T think you'll be eating your words at all, I'm guessing, for the little time I've spent with PG, he wouldn't let you do it unless you were totally and completely ready.

WoW!
Nice post huni.
