Let the Fitness Detox commence!

Hello to all and Happy New Year!

It feels good to finally be in 2012 after talking about this exciting Olympic year for so long. I love January because everyone has so much more energy and it's a new start for us all. It's also my busiest month because a lot of people set New Year's resolutions to get fit and be more healthy. I'm here to help people achieve those goals, not just in January but throughout the year, but anyone setting goals for the NY may find my advice on Twitter especially useful.

Over the past week, I have been helping clients work off the festive indulgence at my Bounce classes and personal training sessions. I've written training programmes ahead of the Loughborough Half Marathon in March and also I've written a beginners guide to running a half marathon which will be available to download from the onesixeight: fitness website very soon.

On Tuesday, we started the Team 168 group training sessions for those taking part in the Loughborough Half. The group is suitable for everyone, but especially good for beginners because we don't run too fast or for too long! If you want to come along please book here or to find out more click here

Well done to Glenda from Leicester who won the 12 Days of Fitness Challenge with a fantastic score of 280! She admitted that my Bounce-Back into Shape DVD helped her score so highly and she can see and feel the benefits after just 1 month of bouncing in her living room. The 12 Days of Fitness Challenge videos are still available on YouTube if you want to find some simple exercises to help you be more active in 2012.

Next week, is Bounce-camp week! I'm really excited for the 6am starts and can't wait to get outdoors with clients at the new Shepshed venue. The hour-long sessions provide a fun and energising start to the day and help you bounce-back into shape after Christmas. It's the equivalent of a fitness detox! I shall let you know how it goes next week. I'm also giving a presentation to a group of ladies about goal setting for the year and meeting to discuss progress with the Loughborough Half organisers.

Stay in touch via Twitter or Facebook and here's to a great 2nd week of January :-)
