Fitness - Adventures - Boot Camps
The dark skies rolled past just in time for boxing to start and we were off for a cracking session! Millions of punches thrown this evening and some core work thrown in as a rest 
Gemma dressed up in her Ronald gear for the occasion, but put in a huge session partnered with Matt. It was great to see our boy group gasbagging after the session, usually it’s the girls we have to tell to go home.
Pioneer Training is at it’s craziest this year with a massive line up of adventures in store. From whitewater rafting down the Murrumbidgee, mountain bike riding to the vineyards for wine tasting, Abseiling at the cotter, to being electrocuted dozens of times in the Tough Mudder challenge, you are guaranteed to have a fantastic day full of laughter, perhaps a possum bite, and some amazing memories. All adventures (apart from the Tough Mudder Challenge and the Gold Coast Marathon), are designed for beginners. So be courageous, take off that princess tutu and come and get dirty with Jenna and I. Those of you considering the Tough Mudder please get on the website www.toughmudder.com.au and have a good look at what is entailed. Do not register until you to talk to Jenna or I, as it does entail a strong level of strength and fitness.
The Civic girls worked on their strength today and poor Christine got given the big 4kg dumbbells! with loads of shoulders in the session good luck to the girls tomorrow brushing their hair. All the girls have put in a huge 2 weeks worth of training so Kristy and I are pumped to see some massive results. Keep it ups ladies only 5 more Boot Camps and 6 weeks to go till Christmas!
A ripper of a session this morning with almost all toys out of the box some short sharp runs and a long run as well. Two girls timing the entire group with 2 laps running the park down at Tuggeranong while the rest of the group worked their entire bodies. Mixing it up and partnering up with someone new always works a treat except when Wendy and Annie get together and say PLEEEEEASE Kristy we haven’t in ages! Only one set of penalties were given out with only 10 minutes of the session to go and it was 2 minutes worth of Burpees. Very hard after 40 minutes worth of work. Week two is coming to an end and already Kristy and I have seen big changes in effort and fitness.
The girls gathered the gear and we headed down to Pioneer Pond at the bottom of Regatta Hill. We welcomed back Sue and we welcomed Rhian to the group. After a quick run through of what the plan was and the goals the girls needed to get the girls put their headds down and their mouths were off. Chatting away to each other having a good old time. That didn’t last long before Kristy and I were on them like hawks. Strength work with a 740m run the girls burnt huge calories today. Thursday will have to be so hard the girls cant talk, what do you think Swamzy!!
Well the girls survived week one and as week 2 begins the sessions are gradually getting tougher. A huge circuit with skipping, bars, balls and a huge run and the girls put in a huge effort to get out as many laps as possible. Marielle putting in a huge last run of the day to finish off a massive workout. Amy busted out so many swear words at once finishing with I hate you Jenna and I finished off with a sweet keep running! Jackie says she is not a runner but i bet that after theses 8 weeks you will be Jack!! Nice effort today girls!
My client of the week this week goes to Brandon who has started 2012 off on a cracker by losing 2kg over the break. Brandon has now lost 12kg since August and is now swimming in all of his training clothes. We need to break out the lycra! Well done Brandon, you are looking fantastic. I’m extremely proud of you, you have changed your lifestyle for the better, broken bad habits, are putting yourself through training sessions and best of all, DIDN’T MAKE ME SWEAR!!!!
Our first X-Training back for the year and of course Summer put on a show for us and the rain was here! Luckily for the group it stopped and ended up being a great morning outside working the entire body to its maximum. As usual the conversation was out of control. no one was allowed to talk to Belinda and we disgussed how we start off our life in nappies and we will finish life in nappies. Just something to look forward too.Great work by the group who even though the weather was not fab, still showed up to train.
Dress up day for the tuggies girls and ninjas was the theme for Friday the 13th. Dress in black and channel your inner ninja up Mt Taylor. The girls looked awesome in their gear and were phenomenal on the mountain. Jenna and I were blown away at the results of the girls time trial up, the quickest being 7:30. Our new girls stepped up to the plate and put in a huge effort and after they caught their breath at the top it was all smiles! Well done to everyone today, and a big mention to Jane and Kim who managed to get 4 laps of the hill out
Pioneer Training was back with a vengence tonight, and the group will be feeling that hour for the next couple of days. We welcomed Brandon and Warrick along for their first group session. The boys were awesome throughout the hour and are going to be absolute weapons in a couple of months! The naughty corner was in full swing, making up for 3 weeks off. And whilst those girls entertained themselves, the rest of the group had a cracking session. Great to see everyone so excited to see each other and be back into it after the break.
