I don’t live in
the gym and the gym doesn’t rule my life that is for sure. But knowing I have
more fun runs, obstacle courses and fitness based things coming up then I can count
on my two hands I have decided its time to pump the iron again and get my
strength back up. Cardio and general fitness I still do at home and with my
girls, I don’t believe in spending hours on the treadmill when I can get the
same thing at a park while the girls play.
I will begin
going for an hour and half three times a week and continue to do yoga in my
rest days- of course when the family are all tucked into bed. The
gym where I will be doing all my hard work at is my local Snap Fitness Epping.
INITIAL
THOUGHTS ON SNAP FITNESS EPPING
Upon walking in
the door I knew this had a different vibe from my previous gym and was so much
more laid back, and well.. not full of meat heads (sorry boys)! I am not the
one who is going to go to a same sex gym as those things don’t bother me, the
only thing that peeves me off is weight area hogs- and this didn’t have any I
could see- but loads of equipment to share anyway.
Snap Fitness
Epping is also 24hr with manned times where staff members and PT’s are there
and then unmanned times where you use your access card to get in and then
workout at your own leisure whenever you like.
My main
strengths are in my legs, so I think it might be time to build my core and
expose those abs that have been hiding away under my blanket of (body fat) yup
I said it! And then I will also work on my upper body strength and improve
definition all over.
I want to be in
tiptop condition for Stadium Stomp, which is 11 weeks away. This give me more
then enough time to train and prepare myself for the obstacles that lie
ahead.
MY
FIRST PT SESSION
Didn’t have me
as nervous as I had first thought it would, as my PT Casey was so welcoming and
really pushed me without breaking me. I have had a bad PT experience which put
me off having my own PT, and even had me complete my cert 3&4 in fitness to
learn how to do it all myself.
We focused on my
goal of getting ready for the Stadium Stomp in July, where I will be conquering
7,300+ steps at the MCG! So I worked out on my legs, my core, cardio and then
some steps to break things up a little.
MORE
TO COME THANKS TO SNAP FITNESS EPPING
This is not the
last you will hear of Snap Fitness Epping and I will be keeping an update on my
body progress, showing my darkest times and hopefully a brand new me.
I don’t want to
be super fit, it isn’t what I am after. But I do want to be healthy and happy
in the skin I have to live in forever.
IF
I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT
I want to help
spread the word to all women, especially Mum’s out there that you can do it! If
I can do it, I know every Mumma out there can!!
It is hard for
some to picture your self in a gym and I know for me before I started gym
After having two
kids my body has done some weird and whacky things, but I have also punished it
with being a couch potato and junk food crazy lady in the past. That has all
changed in the last year, and it isn’t a word of lie that if you stick to
something for 21 days it actually does become a habit.
WHY I AM VENTURING INTO A GYM
I won’t lie the
main reason I starting heading to the gym again is because this year is going
to be my year of obstacle courses/races, fun run and charity fitness events. I don’t
want to be marathon fit, but I do need to maintain a certain level of strength
and fitness or my body just won’t cope!
JOIN
ME ON MY SNAP FITNESS JOURNEY
I would
absolutely love for you to join me on my body and wellness transformation, and
of course share your lovely inspirational stories. After all it is the stories
of others that help me inspire to change and become a better me.
MAY IS FOR MUMS
For the month of
May, Epping Snap Fitness is celebrating Mum’s for Mother’s Day and treating
them to a no obligation, FREE 7-day gym pass and free semi-private PT session!
If I can train
in a gym then any Mother out there can do it, bite the bullet and try it out- I
promise it isn’t bad at all!
So Mummy, what
are you waiting for?!
Thanks Snap
Fitness Epping for putting me under your wing and believing in me.
