Its all about YOU

Early Anne on time as early - pity about her instructor. A huge accomplishment today, one that has wowed me and really shown that persistence, hard work and tenacity is the essence of life. Unable to clear the crate height some months ago and substituting for the foam hurdle, today Anne very easily jumped on the crate - and for 50 repititions. Anne, I am very happy and excited about your progress. Your physique is looking sharp and strong and it will only get better. Enjoy the juice!

Erin and Kelly in again. They got stuck into warming their mouths up with the daily gossip as they did the warm up, but then it was straight to work as we did a full intensity WOD (Workout Of the Day) Box Jumps / Pull ups / Knee raises / push press / back extensions for 50 reps each. Extremely good performance Girls. Enjoy the weekend.

Frank P was in next and looking very muscular. His arms were strong and defined and I decided to work them some more. We did the 50 box jumps and 50 pull ups and 50 curls + presses but as a change of plans, we repeated those two again to make it a truly devastating workout, one Frank accomplished with pleasure. Its always good to make you work hard Frank.

Ginette followed, same workout, same results. Hard work, massive jumps, excellent pull up technique, and quality push presses. Go Ginette! Your arms are the envy of everyone.

Sid finished the morning off. Just beginning on box jumps we opted for the foam hurdle. after 50 intense ones we did a fast 50 jumping pull ups. To finish the round we did push press with a nice weight. And then we did it all again. Sid - its always fun and your progressing well. Enjoy the sore bum the lunges gave you the session before - it really does equals success.

And to end the day off brilliantly, a new force to be reckoned with on the rower - Jackie, and alpha woman Ruth created a whirlwind of action at the Garage! Both had three attempts at 500m mixed with turkish get ups. There rowing times were as follows:
Jackie - 2:20.6 / 2:08.6 / 2:04.1 (not only is it unusual to get such a low time on her second time rowing but alos on her thrid rowing attempt for the night - very impressive), and
Ruth - 2:36.3 / 2:32.5 / 2:22.7 (again, very unusual but terrifc to get a lower time on each consecutive row - usually its the other way around) What a wonderful workout and wonderful times. I look forward to more times being broken!

Thanks for a wonderful week and see you next one. Have a fun weekend and don't drink too much - and if you do - lots of water to make the morning after not so unpleasant.
