Gearing up!

Well I have completed my fitness test which entails a timed 1km run (less than 5mins is advanced),  how many pushups in a minute, a measured stretch, situp progress and a timed wall sit! I completed the run in 

4.14 seconds, completed 40 pushups on toes, reached level 3 in situps and managed 2min 9secs sitting against the wall! I am in the advanced group and have chosen to  do Advanced Lean and Fit and I now have some insight into what my training regime is going to look like. This is a program for advanced members who have less than 5kg to lose and who want to focus on shaping and toning their body rather than fitness and fat loss. It's predominantly a strength training program using weights and body weight exercises to improve strength, definition and shape. So for this program I will be doing 4 days of Strength and Tone, 1 day of Fitness and Fat Burning and 1 day of Core and Stretch. Woohoo I am so excited!!! I can't wait to see the changes in myself...both mind and body... and to prove to myself that I CAN do it :)

Our task was to go and source our place of training. I was hoping that I would be able to do this from home but it wont be possible for me. There is a gym where I live but it is not very heavily equipped and I am not able to use it until 7am in the morning which is too late.  I went to three different gyms near where I work and have settled on Nambour Gym and Fitness Studio. The lady there was so lovely and the gym is very well equipped. There is no joining fee and it is only $12.95 per week and that includes any classes such as boxercise, pilates and zumba. BARGAIN!! Once I know what order of workout I have to do I will start blocking out the times in my diary. Bring it on!!
