The past week has seen me up and out at 6.40am on four mornings, ready to take on the challenge of an early morning class in the gym. It has been my first week back in 10 months! This has been partly due to a bit of nervousness- it’s true, the longer you leave something […]

‘Here we go!’ my class hears me shout, time and time again during a POUND session: it generally means we are about to launch into a move at twice the speed we’ve just been doing it! It’s a bit like going from a gentle walk to a sprint! It is the part of Pound that […]
If you’ve read my ‘Musings’ post you will have realised that it has been a challenging couple of weeks (in fact I haven’t written about the greatest challenge of all, because at the moment, I just can’t) which have pushed me to my limits. Working two festivals in two weeks and a road traffic collision […]
The past week or so has been really difficult. Motivating myself to get out of bed and exercise has not been easy. I’ve slept very little due to a pressure build up in my left ear and it has left me feeling rather flat. Add to this the dental treatment – major work on my […]
Yes, I’m still here, I’m still completing six HIIT workouts a week – four early morning Joe Wick’s and two POUNDfit sessions – one Monday and one on Friday. I feel great in so many ways: I’m stronger – I’m lifting heavier and I’ve got greater endurance in each workout and I feel so good, […]
When everything locked down again here, in November 2020, under Tier 3 Restrictions, I was gutted because I’d just got my Pound classes up and running again and I’d really enjoyed being back in the gym. With yet another ban on live classes, I reverted my Pound classes back to Zoom twice a week. I […]
This week, Jo, my daughter and I chose to withdraw our entries from this year’s Total Warrior extreme obstacle race. It is due to take place on 10th July in Leeds, and in fairness, all the information coming out via email is worded to assure participants that it will conducted in a COVID safe manner. […]
I’ve now completed three live, face to face POUND classes. It has been amazing to have a group of people in front of me, all following my instruction as they have beat those sticks and rocked out together. The sound has been incredible. The increase in calories burned has been noticeable. For months I’ve given […]
I have to say that as I am writing this, I am beyond excited about the prospect of tomorrow: the 17th May and the day I get to lead my first live, face to face POUND class in almost seven months! I had only really just got my classes up and running before the first […]
This morning was a milestone for me; after a couple of weeks of nursing a slightly sprained ankle, it was time to challenge myself in my workout. I did all my usual stretches and warm up before embarking upon a full-on Kettlebell HIIT workout on the Joe Wicks App. Nothing unusual here, you might think, […]
