gooster Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Enjoy - I love it when I finish the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Had to laugh this morning in core workout. This big muscle man showed up and made up a 20kg bar to use in the class (the rest of the class use between 5 and 7kg bars). I just mentioned that he might find that bar a bit heavy for the stuff Ryan has us doing - he then snapped back that exercise was meant to be hard and that it wasn't his first Rodeo (I haven't seen him in the core workout class before and I go every week, so can only assume he did it when I was on holiday). Anyway, I felt so good when he was struggling with his stupidly heavy bar. Show off. Strength and conditioning is changing on Thursday, with more of an emphasis on the strength training, should be interesting. I have enjoyed the the last 3 strength and conditioning classes though, as at the end Matt splits us into 2 teams and has us racing against each other. Each time, I have been on the winning team, which coming from someone who never won anything sporty at all, was pretty cool Mr G mentioned today that they might be doing some challenge over Christmas - his contribution is the evil squat song. Glad I downloaded it now, as I can get practicing and have an advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loobie Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Do you want to have them sent to me and I can bring them out with me ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Oh nooooooo! They have been messing about with the format of strength and conditioning over the last 3 classes. The first one had a bit too much rest in it, the second one was absolute chaos and today's wasn't too bad Still full of unpleasant things like burpees, squat jumps etc but I quite enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Oops Sam! Did the nite run last night 5km in te dark with everyone dressed up in fancy dress! Was good fun although very muddy and slippery and I didn't think to wear my trail shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Sounds like fun I am thinking I might treat myself to some new trainers - I am finding my current ones are sometimes a bit slippy when doing things like mountain climbers and glute bridges on the fitball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 New shoes are always nice 😄 I ran a track mile in 8:21 tonight. Very pleased with myself!! Now need to transfer that to my longer runs 🏃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I found my missing kit , I am a total muppet and had not taken it all back to the UK where I have another set I can start with my 90 day program in the morning hoorah I shall be taking regular photos and will share them at a later date ( when there is an improvement I hope ) , I feel I have lost a lot of muscle tone over the last 2 months with all the back and forth and very disjointed workouts , its been well over a month since I did anything so I may ache the day after tomorrow !!!!!

gooster Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Well done Mary, that is great going Glad you found your kit Sam - I don't envy your imminent muscle ache! When I got back from Mexico and I started working out properly again, every part of me was aching Now I only ache if Mr G covers extra classes that I do (as he loves to torture the legs - one of his classes a week is enough torture. The other week he did 2 of my Tuesday classes and a Wednesday class. I was feeling that for a few days!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 13.5 miles run today, beautiful new route and wonderful weather! Must remember not to go out drinking before doing long runs, it doesn't help!! Glad you have found your missing kit Sam and good luck starting again.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Missus Murtle thats a flipping half marathon ! you are awesome how often do you run and how many rest days do you have ? is running the same as gym in that you have to give muscle groups time off to recover ?

gooster Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Wow, well done Murtle I think I may be joining you in the achey camp Sam, just found out that Mr Grumpy isn't going to be in tomorrow, so Mr G is more than likely going to be taking his classes tomorrow I love Mr G's classes, but they are tough on the legs! I have visions of him doing the evil squat song in all 3 classes I wasn't sure what to do in the gym tonight, so though I would do some stuff on the legs, then Deejay told me tomorrow would be legs day, so I might be better doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
