Pound!

Pound!

You’ll probably know that I have kinda fallen in love with my weekly Clubbercise class. It’s a great workout and loads of fun! Because Jacqui changes up the routines, it keeps my muscles guessing and I definitely feel the DOMS the day after.

Last night, I tried another new class, as there was a taster session of Pound in the village hall. And, after the taster session, I’d love to give it a go!

Pound is a great workout: you use bright green weighted drumsticks- called Ripstix- to strengthen and sculpt. It’s not as aerobic as Clubbercise, but I definitely worked up a sweat, and I can feel today that I worked muscles not usually worked! 

It was also a great stress buster- thumping those sticks off the mat was pretty relieving!

If you’ve never heard or it, or want to know more, check it out here:

Tomorrow, we’re helping out at the Kintyre Way Ultra. We have an early start at the first checkpoint, and then we’re supporting Julia from Girl Runs Wild who is taking part. Good luck Julia!

I’m really looking forward to it! šŸ™‚

I’ll let you know how it goes! šŸ˜€

Hello, have you had a good bank holiday? If you’ve been working, I hope it has been ok. I’ve been off today, and so I’ve caught up on the housework I skipped this weekend. It always feels good when it’s done, doesn’t it?

I’ve just been to Clubbercise, had dinner, and I’m going to round the long weekend off with another dip in the hot tub.

I feel like I have made progress this week- I stayed on track with my fitness and wellbeing goals. I’m hoping that this week will be equally as successful. I hope yours is too šŸ™‚

Hello, my lovelies! Have you had a good weekend? I have.

After my comments yesterday about every day being an event for someone, today is Commonwealth Day. And thinking about it has brought back floods of happy memories from last year’s Commonwealth Games.

Happy, happy days! You can read more about the fun I had here, in the post Gallus Glasgow. Actually, I wrote a few posts about it, but this is the main one šŸ˜‰

It’s now week two of HM training, and so far, so good- my running is on track! I’m off to Clubbercise tonight, and it’s a much-needed rest day in the daily plank challenge. How on earth am I going to manage 45 seconds tomorrow? šŸ˜®

Well, I’ll be giving it a good go!

I have a pretty busy week ahead so I’ll try to check in when I can- I’ve enjoyed returning to more frequent posts last week šŸ˜€

Is everyone as excited as I am about the eclipse on Friday? What can I say- I’m easily pleased!  We also have visitors this weekend so I guess I’d better fit in some cleaning this week too!

Here’s a little glimpse into my fluffy brain this morning:

Catch y’all soon! :Dļ»æ

It’s Monday! And I am MOTIVATED! šŸ˜€

This weekend, @TheWelshWookie and I have been busy. We’ve decorated the hall, and it is looking fantastic. We have also -at last – replaced our cooker. The last one blew up šŸ˜® and we just hadn’t gotten round to getting a new one. But, now we have: and can you guess the first thing made in it?

Yup. Chocolate Cake šŸ˜€

But it will make healthy eating a little easier again. After I treat myself to a pizza this week, of course. Pizza, I have missed you!

Anyhow, I have kickstarted this week in a fun filled and energetic way – with a Clubbercising class! It was totally AWESOME!

The class is aerobic, dance style, which you can do to suit your own abilities, either high or low intensity.Ā Everyone has glowsticks, and the music is upbeat: dance, clubbing style. I LOVED it! šŸ™‚

And what was even better was the lights are dimmed, there are disco lights, and no one is watching what you’re doing šŸ˜‰

Some of my favourite running tracks were used, which was great: Titanium and Pump up the Jam, amongst others. But the track of the evening was one I remember very fondly from clubbing in Glasgow when I was in my late teens, early twenties:

Gotta love me some N-Trance on a Monday night, reminding me of Destiny nightclub, and The Boulevard at the weekends. Ā Brilliant!

If you get the chance, take a Clubbercise class!
