Well what’s happening?

Barbara on February 29th, 2008

I can hear you all asking LOL - Well ………….. Everything at the moment!! I got offered a job at the gym where I train and of course I accepted so in between training I have been working! It is awesome - I am really enjoying it. Helping others train and getting to know so many people in the gym is great fun. I start my PT course next month and cannot wait to get stuck into the books and get my certificate :). My training has been great as well - I won’t give you a day to day run down on what it has been like but everyday I am training like there is no tomorrow - I have changed my reps from 12-15 to 6-8 and really stacked the weights up - The difference in strength is amazing and although I have stopped losing body fat, I am gaining more muscle (which is ultimately the goal I wanted). Once I get enough muscle on me, I’ll get stuck back into the cardio and drop the last few % in body fat as I am still hoping to compete in October - It will probably be in figure rather than physique, but that’s okay - I have years ahead of me still :). Hopefully I will get my roster this weekend which will allow me to better organise myself and get blogging daily again. I still need to catch up on all the blogs I’ve been visiting too - I miss knowing what everyone else has been up to. Happy training :)

What a month!

Barbara on February 20th, 2008

I’m still here - we recently moved house and because of this I have been without the internet for the last month! I’m so glad I had been going to gym twice a day as it has helped me from going completely insane LOL. I have kept up with all my training (have not missed one session) which I am happy with but haven’t been able to blog my sessions at the gym which is unfortunate. I have had a few workouts with my trainer over the last month which have been awesome. It is amazing how much further you can push yourself when someone is there urging you on :) I really miss my cardio sessions though but fully understand that I can only do one thing at a time and by doing cardio, it will hinder my muscle growth. They have grown too - was pleasantly suprised at my last assessment - I have put on muscle and kept my body fat down. I started a new program on Monday which I will put up shortly - but this one came with a twist as I had to half create the program myself (all part of the learning process) - All three sessions have been great, but I will blog about them seperately. I am looking forward to getting back into my blogging routine again though :)
