HI Rachel!
Hi Rachel, I'm also new here just signed up a couple of days ago :)
You must be so proud of yourself, your results are awesome. Congratulations. I would love to keep hearing how you are progressing, and to more information on the things that you are doing, as they are obviously working :)
I know what it's like to start the fitness journey as well. 4 years ago I was the ultimate couch potatoe and weighed 25kg more than I should after the birth of my second child. After making a decision like you to take chare of my fitness and health, I went on to own my own gym and to become a certified fitness instructor, I'm now over 40 and haven't looked back.
The main thing that increased my fitness was interval training, short high intensity bursts following by recovery and then a high energy burst again. They don't need to be long start with
Welcome to the board Dawn!
Hi Miranda, it's always nice to see you!
Are you going to do another tri anytime soon?
I teach the LESMills brand of classes, RPM (Spin bikes), BODYPUMP (weights) BODYBALANCE (yoga, Pilates)
I also teach a class that we call box of chocolates, which basically means you'll never know what you'll get from one workout to the next :)
I have to say the bikes and yoga are my fav's. Bikes because you can control the intensity and yoga for awesome all round strength and toning.
What's your preferred workout Kelly? I love hearing what others are doing as we're all different and there are so many ways to keep yourself fit and healthy
Cheers
Dawn
I can sympathize with the sporadic training.
Sounds like you have a really good balance of classes there!
It's great that you are getting into fitness and being healthy! The benefits go beyond physical appearance. You gain confidence, concentrate better, sleep better, and you're just a happier person all around. Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis workout
