Yes. I’m a glutton for punishment. I went back for the second Fitness First Spartan Workshop. You would’ve thought I’d had enough after the first one, but no. I guess it’s a little like having a baby – after the first one, you swear you’re never having another one and then you do… I thoughtContinue reading “Fitness First Spartan Workshop No. 2”

Exercises for Knee Pain
I’ve had problems with my knees for as long as I can remember – even before I grew old and decrepit. So these are the problems – as best as I can remember my sports physician explaining them to me. The first problem began in my right knee and it was due to a badContinue reading “Exercises for Knee Pain”
Fitness First Spartan Workshop
So I attended the Spartan Workshop at Fitness First and it was… tough. What We Did I might have missed a few things, but this is what I can remember. The warm up was fairly similar to the stuff in Joe De Sena’s Spartan Fit: Light jogging Butt Kicks – click on the link and watchContinue reading “Fitness First Spartan Workshop”
Remedies for Post-Workout Aches
I’ve never really been an essential oils subscriber. I think they smell nice and are fun to use, but I have raised a skeptical eyebrow when I hear about the claims of what they can do for you.

Supplementary Training on the Wii Fit
Training when the kids are on holidays is not easy because I can’t exactly take them with me to my classes. So here’s what I do when I can’t squeeze in my usual workouts… Wii Fit Training Yep.

Bootybarre Babes at Zenith Pilates
2017 was a year of firsts for the Jungle Babes. We broke out of our comfort zone and tried a lot of new activities that was a first for many of us: Ice Skating Zumbathon SkyTrex Big Thrill and Extreme Challenge Rock Climbing – yes, not my first time ever, but first time back in afterContinue reading “Bootybarre Babes at Zenith Pilates”
Jungle Babes on Ice
The Jungle Babes have been doing a lot of things that haven’t exactly had anything to do with jungles. The running joke is that we are in a mid-life crisis, but as much as I kid around about it, that is not the truth. So here is what it’s all about: embodying the very principleContinue reading “Jungle Babes on Ice”
Spartan Race Challenges
In an attempt to wrap my head around the sort of obstacles we will be facing, I have been digging around the Spartan Website. You can read descriptions of the obstacles until the cows come home but that will never really help you understand what you’re in for until you see the videos and theContinue reading “Spartan Race Challenges”
