long time no blog....body balance

more time.. but weirdly ...no blogs...go figure ????

So this is a review on my body balance class..

And I guess I could blame them for not having time to blog....but...I'd be lying!!!

I do a class twice a week...it is a Les Mills class  https://www.lesmills.com/  ...and I absolutely love them

Yes course I feel exhausted because I do push myself.... but no pain no gain.....and these are the gains....

benefits I feel I get  

• stronger
• leaner
• more supple
• more flexible
• fitter
• improved balance
• better core strength
• more relaxed

they are suitable for all ages and all fitness levels... as you work to your own level and of course you see improvementsall the time

i have definitley seen improvements especially my flexibility and balance

In the beginning I thought I'll never get better...but I have and I intend to stick at it and get even better

The best I can possibly be...

and lets face it ...we owe it to ourselves to be the best we can

body balance.....stretchy stuff

Body balance challenge ......

Yep I know what the picture sais...  ' leaves you feeling calm and centered '  




I have been doing body balance for about 12 months....twice a week....I wish I was doing it more !!!

I absolutley love it.... but it is so so tough!!!

when I say to people that i do a body balance class... the reply can often be

'oh that stretchy class?'

well yes, it is a stretchy class, but also so much more
to be honest, when I first decided to have a go I did think it was probably going to be one of the easier
well you know what they say about assumption !!!!
Oh my.... 
of course it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be..... you work to where you feel comfortable
but that was never going to be my goal .....everything in life is a challenge for me, including this!!!
I push myself to the limit and I love it..I come out of the class feeling like I not only have really challenged myself but also feeling accomplished..that I did my best.. better than when I went in, and lets face it we cant ask for much more
result being, I feel stronger, fitter, more flexible, improved balance, and yes calmer and less stressed (especially when I do a class when I am under a lot of stress...without a doubt )
I am currently following
did i mention that we have two fantastic motivating, passionate teachers...  thank you x
I will update this blog and let you know how it goes..... wish me luck   

not as good as what i'd hoped

a new me...

well that was the plan at the beginning of the year....but to be fair, its been a bit sluggish

       I'm still persevering ( or perspiring!! )  but its not easy !!!

last couple of weeks have seen me trying to reduce the amount that I eat

drink more water

and also trying out new classes....Zumba for the beginner....and Yoga  ( which is not easy )

and to say im knakered is an understatement !!!!

Its not just the tired feeling, its the ability to recover. or not!!!  it seems to be taking for eva.

   

Aching isnt the word!!

may be im expecting too much too soon....may b I need to take things a lil more slowly...

routine is another problem...I havnt got one

I need to be more stric on myself....get a regular training routine going 

so I think i got all the information

I just need to put it into action

Which is not easy when my 13 year old made a beautiful cheesecake at school....THANX son !!!!   ( yummy )

So if you, like me are trying to be fitter and better, keep up the good work....well done you
