blogging for points - observations

Hi team - have read thru other blogs and had a few laughs along the way ... some shared experiences - yes, I too have been revolted at the stinky gym clothing, aching muscles, broccoli/chicken/eggs (wearing off), boxing wrist injuries, sprinting 40 something women not a pretty sight, family getting sick of hearing about "it", husband sick of hearing "Rick said this, Rick said that", feeling like standing still is being too lazy (shall I get down and do a press up or 2?), constantly wondering "who is Bevan?", learning from Rick that we SHOULD be able to look at ourselves in the mirror without wretching while doing weights, as you come out of a deep squat it is handy to imagine you're squeezing a $2 coin between your buttocks, yes - cutting out the bad carbs does seem to help you lose weight, 40 something yr old women drinking large volumes of H2o constantly need to think ahead re toilet availability (esp of concern if the after school run is a long one), the longer your leg measurement from knee to foot the easier it is to do good deep squats .... I could go on for hours! So far it has been fun and very, very interesting. Long may it last. Goal for next week - track down Bevan!!!

sick too!

Hi team Athena

 

Have also been struck down with stomach flu this week, but hoping for better gym performance next week….  Thanks to Maree for helping me at least make a contribution to team points through blogging!

Sick as a dog.

Apologies going out to the team had an awful case of the flu this week and all attempts to exercise have failed miserably!!

 

I’m getting a bit better, have netball on Saturday from 8.30 – 3 (what time are the sessions with Zach on Saturdays?) I then have to work in the city at 6.30. 

Would anyone be keen for a Sunday session to shake those hangovers??  There is an indoor cycling class at 9.30 or just a gym session later on might be a tad more convenient.

 

Let me know, have a great day J

Darelle

Zumba class last night

Hi team Athena

 

I tried a Zumba class last night. I wouldn’t say I was the most co-ordinated person in the room but it was fun!!

 

I am going to do Pilates tomorrow if anyone else wants to join me.

 

I am sorry to have missed your hard session last night, are you going to run one next week in the evening Zach.

 

Cheers all and have a good day

Friday Update

Hi Team,

 

Wow, you missed a tough workout last night!  My arms were shaking (not with fear, just pure pain) for most of the session.  Miraculously they are still attached this morning and I can still drive, type, etc.  Even managed to lift a full wine glass last night ..... got to be some reward after a tough session!

 

So thanks Zach for the session, look forward to the next.

 

Also tried Yoga for the first time ever last night.  A few laughs, but lots of concentration too, walking out feeling a lot longer and calmer.  I recommend you try it to get to the ‘8 different classes’ goal. How is everyone going with this?

 

Update for you too, I’ve managed 4 group classes so far, so only 4 to go. Have booked next week for Kick boxing (Eeek), MC2 (max workout in min time), Boxing (double eeek) and will attempt to do Latino – guaranteed laughs.  Anyone else keen?

 

For those attending, enjoy Rick’s session this morning – quite frankly, my arms would not handle it today!

Bonus points up for grabs!!!

Morning to you Evo Die hards out there!!!

Just a small wee update about the 12 week challenge, getting some rules all sorted and general feedback

The first few weeks seemed to be the seeding of some very strong teams at the moment. Every team has there own little style, a celebrity appearance of the god zeus, some very intense workouts from Septu, and group Pilates for Minerva. Points have been dished out fairly and I have done it like this

· All attendance recorded by all members is recorded in our membership software and is transported to a spreadsheet and checked by myself

· All attendance times are observed to counteract the ‘double beepers’ trying to score an extra visit

· If you come in and go to a class it is recorded as a gym session AND a group fitness session

· You must do 8 DIFFERENT classes in a calendar month (1^st June – 31^st June for first month allotments) to get maximum points.

· I will tally group fitness at the end of the month as it gives everyone till the doors close on the 31^st to gain points

Any more questions you can always flick a quick email to justinw@genesisfitness.co.nz and ill blurt more details

BONUS POINTS

If you blog on your team site Friday 18th between the hours of 7am and 9 pm you will get 3 bonus points per team member blog.

It can be about anything you decide as long as you post it on your team and put your name at the bottom ( remember no footers)

If everyone in your team has put in a blog and I check it on the team manifest, I will issue a bonus 10 points for getting EVERY team member to blog.

It’s a team event so rally your troops and don’t take no for an answer. How hard is an email. And before you think of posting muliple blogs for all your team I can check email addresses so try not be too sneaky, the watchful eye is ever present.

Let your fingers do the talking

p.s heads up for bonus points next week will involve the Latino class so get a late pass from the partner and get ready to get your crump on!!!
