I'm writing a day later than usual because this week has been very tiring and last night I just needed to get some well earned rest - so I hope you understand!
Yesterday was Children in Need and to help raise money I organised two Bounce-athon events. The first was at Loughborough University on Wednesday afternoon where over 100 students bounced for 2 hours. The second was at Newtown Linford Primary School on Friday morning with 60 children and their teachers. Both events were great fun and I know that the University bounce-athon raised £79.11 and yesterday's event will have raised a similar amount thanks to kind donations by the children and parents. I like doing these events as that's another 160 people towards my Fitness 10,000 count and with my next bounce-athon at Redlands Primary School in Sileby on December 1st I will have reached the 3,000 mark before Christmas and then I shall probably wait until the new year to organise any more. I would, however, be interested to talk to any P.E teachers or headteachers that would like to organise a bounce-athon for their school - or even any businesses that would like to organise a fun charity event for their workforce. Please email me info@onesixeightfitness.com if you would be able to help.
On Thursday, I returned to the Charnwood Golf Range to lead the 'Becky Says Box & Bounce' fitness class standing in for Mathew for one night only. It was good to be back and I enjoyed leading the class with a couple of regulars and some new people too. I really wanted to impress the girls as they've been telling me how much they enjoy Mathew's sessions and how hard he works them and I think it's fair to say they got a good workout indeed! If anyone would like to come to Becky Says Bounce fitness class at the Charnwood Golf Range, please visit http://www.onesixeightfitness.com/ to view the class timetable and to book online. I am already in talks with Mathew about January's Bounce-Back into Shape classes and special offers - so watch this space!
Finally, some other exciting news from my week... I have been asked by an old uiversity lecturer of mine to come back next term and deliver a presentation on my business to current students. The presentation will look at how I set up onesixeight: fitness, the challenges I faced and how I managed it with my studies. I'm really excited about this as I love to stand up and talk to people about topics that I'm passionate about. I have also been working hard on developing my new 'Top 100 Weight-loss tips' book to be launched (fingers crossed) in time for Christmas. I am very pleased with how it is progressing and I think readers will enjoy learning new ways to lose the pounds (especially for January!). More news about where the book will be sold and how much for to follow next week :-)
That's all for this week bouncing peeps - lots more classes, clients and hard work next week and hopefully I'll have recovered from bouncing for 2 hours non-stop by then!
Keep bouncing! :-)
