Well the ice bunnies were out in force this morning..It was FREEZING!!! So keeping the cold grass in mind, the girls were treated to a balls circuit this morning on the asphalt. With the music pumping, and jenna losing her voice due to the swine flu, the girls had a blast immitating my unco-ordinated demonstrations! With only 1 more session to go before a week of sleep it’s going to be a big session on the mountain on Friday!

Player of the day points go to: Darci and Jodi -3, Stef and Romina -2, Venetia and Michelle – 1.

Jenna, myself and the Pioneer girls would like to wish Ruth the best of luck in the N.T! Get up at 6am every morning and chase the kangaroos! or dodge the dingoes…..

A massive congratulations to husband and wife team, Steve and Julie for their amazing effort in their weightloss jouney! In only 3 months of training, the pair have lost a combined 25kg!  With both losing a huge amount of cm’s, Steve – 82cm and Julie -43cm, these guys are well on their way to achieving their goals! I am so proud of you both, and what an absolute pleasure it is to train you both! The positive attitude you both have to your training and to a healthier lifestyle has given you quick and obvious results. Well done guys!!!

Only 11 for a chilly boot camp this morning, with people away and sick and of course honeymooning, we had a very personalised session! Just the way we like it! With the civic girls treated to the ‘tempo tantrums’ workout today, the grimaces on the girls faces throughout was awesome! Top effort for the girls though, and only one more session to go before the week off! Make the most of the last one girls, I’m sure you will miss it next week!

 Romina burnt a whopping 700+ calories!

Mt Urambi, week 8 and time trials for our last session at the killer hill.  What a session it was!  Thank god they did as it was dark when i ventured up on my little own and I’m sure “the hill had eyes” not funny Swams i did see a drop bear!  After that down we went for 1 -10 time trials and Blaydo not only pumping out 1 -10 but also a 10 – 1great work Blaydo.  A huge mention to Liz and Ruth who last time didn’t make the 1 -10 and this morning finished off the whole exercise.  Two more sessions to go ladies and wont they be SUPER FUN!! Congrats to Blado and Lynda for getting their PB’s with their calorie burns!

Player of the day points for the hill run go to: Denise - 3 points, Felicitie - 2 points, Nat - 1 point and for the 1-10 hill run: Bri – 3 points, Torrie – 2 points, Felicitie – 1 point.  

A cold morning and a smashing session to go with it.  6 people rocking up for what was going to be a very “personal” session.  Kristy and i pulled out our toys from the toy box and gave a killer session.  Bosu balls ladders and Bad Bags proved to be a big calorie burner.  With no running and only 1 minute intervals Venetia burning a whopping 600+ calories.  Thank you to the group who put in a massive session. 

There is nothing like week 7, Mt Taylor, Tyres, penalties and a bit of vomit on the side!!  A massive session by the girls today combining a massive leg workout with loads of cardio.  As we headed up the hill the group knew they were in for a big session.  Running man, hill lunges and tyres OH MY.  With the last activity in place with a squat hold, penalties were in place for anyone who stood up.  One little pioneer did, so a big sprint half way up Mt Taylor brought Dee’s dinner up from the night before. When Dee returned to base Romina not knowing she had made mud patties, pumped her up for one last hill sprint and with out hesitating sprinted up the last and final hill.  Great work to everyone for a massive session.

Player of the day points go to 3 points Dee, 2 points Anita 1 point Bec

Pioneer Training welcomed back Nat from her honeymoon this evening. Straight off the plane and straight back into it! Love your committment Nat! A class focused completely on abdominal and boxing/cardio work, we warmed up with some mat crawling and stair running, to get the blood flowing and the tutus off! Top effort from everyone tonight, and we love the sexy crawling fi!  

After Tuesdays run a bit of upper body work was needed to even out the pain!  What a better way to do it than with medicine balls.  The girls pumped out 10 minute rounds of upper body work and leg work to top off what has been a massive week by everyone. You girls have really stepped up again and you just keep raising the bar even higher keep up the hard work girls.

A MASSIVE GOOD LUCK to Kristin who will be walking down the aisle on Sunday.  Kristy and i wish you all the best of luck, you will look amazing. 

Jenna and I would like to thank and congratulate the team and supporters who raised a massive $3,792.30 for the ACT Cancer Council this year at the Relay for Life. We would also like to thank everyone for their great spirit and commitment to the event, and to let you know that the green Pioneer team are still being talked about by other teams!!! Yee Ha! We knew we were going to make an impression! Not only were we damn quick, but we were the best looking team out there! Congrats guys!

The morning started off with penalties, 5 minutes of suicides for the girls who showed up late.  Wakey wakey Nat!!!  After that was a HORENDOUS weight work out called ” Tempo Tantrums”, the girls at the start thought it was a funny name for a work out until literally 2 minutes into the session and their faces turned sour and their arms to jelly.  Great work to the group it took them 45 minutes before Jodie chucked the first tantrum throwing her bar to the ground opting for a lighter bar. Nat was almost chucking one but didn’t give Kristy and i the satisfaction.  Good idea Nat! 

After a massive session the girls were shattered.  I am sure they will all come to Boot Camp with greasy hair tdue to the fact they cant lift their arms above their heads. hahhaha

A huge Happy Birthday to Torrie who turns the BIG… i wont say Tor, But have a super fantastic day.  Great present from Annie, a bag of carrots and from Felicitie chocolate muffins look out at PT tonight Felicitie and Torrie!!
