Bouncing in to Springtime

What a great start to March. This week has been another exciting week with lots of new plans, new clients and things just slotting in to place. Firstly, I have booked filming for my new 'Bounce for Beginners' DVD which will be available in the summer. I shall also be filming for a new project which I shall announce more details of perhaps next week. Secondly, I have confirmed another Bounce-athon event and have 3 more in the pipeline. 1 school has even signed up to host an after-school club from April onwards which is fantastic. I'm currently leading a netball after-school club at this school in Sutton Bonington and I'm sure the Bounce group will be even more popular. More information about the School Bounce-athon events can be found here

Thirdly, existing clients have made some fantastic progress since the start of the year. They are achieving weight loss goals, losing inches and beating their personal best times in training. Not only that, but they are enjoying the sessions and making exercise a regular part of their lifestyle - which is always my main aim with clients. Each personal training client counts towards my Fitness 10,000 challenge so I'm always on the look out for people who need my help. Programmes are usually 6 - 12 weeks in length and 1 - 3 sessions per week which makes the programme achievable and always shows great results. Find out more info here

In other news this week, I have submitted an application for a World Record Attempt! My claim is in anticipation of a mass participation Bounce-athon that I shall be organising in conjunction with Loughborough University. The event shall coincide with the Olympic Torch passing through Loughborough on July 3rd. I'm hopeful that Guinness World Records will see the potential of the event where I shall aim to have 200 people bouncing all at the same time. I shall invite local residents & clients to bring their trampettes to the event so we can have as many people participating as possible. I shall report more information on the event plans as we go along.

Yesterday, I was in London for part 2 of my Olympic Games Maker training. I found out yesterday that I shall be working behind the scenes at the Aquatics Centre assisting with the Press Operations. I am very excited to be involved with the Games and the opportunity to be at one of the best venues of the Games. I find out next month when I shall be working exactly but I know I shall be in London for 2 months for the Olympics and Paralympics. I realised yesterday that I shall definitely be needing lots of caffeine when I'm there - came back last night absolutely shattered even after just 1 day!! Or perhaps I'll be still buzzing from the elation of achieving my Fitness 10,000 goal and the mass Bounce-athon event that I'll manage without.

Next week, I shall be continuing the great start to the Spring with my own training for the Loughborough Half (which is only 3 weeks away!) and helping others with their training too. I will have my first article on the latest fitness trends printed in The Beacon magazine (out on Friday) and then I shall be helping deliver the magazine next weekend. I will also be bouncing with the group classes and personal training clients and perhaps some ViPR workouts in there too.

Enjoy your weekend and keep following @onesixeightfit on Twitter and Facebook as we've got lots of great tips for keeping active and healthy in the Spring.
Bouncing Becky :-)
