Monday started with a morning of personal training followed by an afternoon of promoting future corporate fitness classes to Walkers Crisps employees in Leicester and then on to my evening classes at Sport Park on the Loughborough University campus and an Active Together class for Oadby & Wigston council.
Tuesday, I launched a new Zumba circuits class for Loughborough University’s student Active Lifestyles programme. This is something new for me and I hope it will be a great success following on from very popular traditional Zumba classes on campus. Also on Tuesday I had a top-secret meeting to discuss a new ‘healthy living’ group to be launched in Loughborough in the new year. The group will combine my knowledge of fitness and healthy eating with help from Saints & Sinners healthy eating café owner Natalie Monk and life coaching from Heidi Eastell and is aimed at no only ladies who have tried countless diets and weight-loss programmes and not seen the long-term results they wish for, but also those looking to educate themselves on how to make the right food, exercise and lifestyle choices. Plans are being made on this new concept and I shall keep you updated with further progress and most importantly how it will add to my Fitness 10,000 target.
A couple of weeks a go I approached Outwoods Edge Primary School in Loughborough to ask if they would like to take part in a ‘bounce-athon’ for Children in Need. The P.E teacher, Mr Baker, was very keen on the idea and asked if I would be interested in getting involved with their Olympic themed activity weeks each term leading up to the 2012 Games. I bounced at the chance to work with 350 pupils at the school doing 5-hours of continuous bouncing with them (not all in one go of course!) The event took place yesterday and was a huge bouncing success! Not only did the kids get a great 15-minute workout each, they also had lots of fun, which I think is the main thing. I shall be working again with the school after half term organising another bounce-athon and also I hope to start an evening class for the school mums in the near future.
In other exciting news this week, I am pleased to announce that not only am I working towards helping 10,000 people get fit before the start of the Olympics next year, I now have another instructor to help me! Mathew Kirkland, a qualified Level 2 exercise to music instructor from South Africa, is a great addition to the onesixeight: fitness team and is also very enthusiastic about achieving the Fitness 10,000 challenge with me. Mathew will now lead the Loughborough Golf Range classes which means that I can go elsewhere and help more people get fit at the same time!
This week has been a very busy week and I have approximately 400 people to add to my Fitness 10,000 target – taking me up to the 2,500 mark and a quarter of the way there! Starting next week and continuing over the next few months I shall be working with Walkers Crisps delivering fitness sessions to their employees. I’m really excited about this new contract as it will allow me to reach out to 1,500 members of staff at the site! Here’s to a great week ahead – keep bouncing peeps! :-)
