Watch out world...here comes Jess


Jess, one of our star athletes, along with the rest of you, performed a miracle feat on the rower with a blistering 500m time of. . .wait for it. . . 1 minute 50 seconds. Wow. And she even did a full workout after it.

Gulnaz in and slowly getting back into after a lay off. not a spring chicken, but a chick none the less, she can still do three full pull ups. Extraordinary.

Bob, great session, finished the WOD in super time, but instead of letting him walk out the door, we did more and more. Technique is getting better and strength is always there.

Robert, consistent Robert, despite a full days work and saying he was lacking in energy, he completed the WOD without a hitch. Proving why he is on top of the leaders board.

Hard days work deserves a good nights sleep.

I look forward to tomorrows sessions, see you all then.

Note: See the picture above of the wall ball exercise - now that is how you do it. Full way down into a squat...ouch!

And as for all your efforts in the eating department. I made a delicious pumpkin soup today, simple, tasty and healthy. Here it is:

olive oil heated on medium heat and put the diced onion in and cook for five minutes until it is soft. Quickly add one teaspoon of cummin, quarter of a teaspoon of cinammon, and a teaspoon of coriander or parsley finely chopped. Stir this for one minute to let the aroma out. Now add the diced pumpkin (about 2cm blocks) and cover them in the onion stew. Add the vegetable stock (I just boiled some corn together with carrot and asparagus - you can use any veges - and I added the water to the pumpkin - about 4 cups worth). Let it boil on medium low heat for half hour and then mash it all together. Add about 1/2 cup of cream, salt and pepper and eat, eat, eat. Eat the corn while you are waiting for the soup to be ready.
