Sunday Fitness

Yesterday  Marvin and I made the trip up to Edinburgh to spread the Fitness Pilates message and the day was perfect.

Firstly, my face has heeled...yipeeeee!!! So, I presented with confidence as I don't look like an alien any longer. The drive up was super smooth, no traffic holds ups or jams, no snow just a straight forward drive where we planned our next series of workshop and educational ideas for the next 1/4.

My aim was to get up to Bannatynes early so we could train as Saturday was upper body day.

We did:

Heavy Bench press x 6 reps - I did 14kg
Power Press ups to failure - about 10
Repeated x 3 changing the plane of the exercises every round, so sagittal plane bench press ups then Frontal and Transverse

Heavy Shoulder press x 6 reps - 12kg
Alternate shoulder press x 16 faster/ lighter weight 6kg
Repeated x 3 tweaking the planes

Lat Pull downs x 6 - 45kg
Pull ups to failure - which for me was about 1!!

Chest press x 3

This morning i'm pretty sore!

The workshop was a dream, we had nearly 40 Instructors who had travelled from all over Scotland and we had great debate, great conversation regarding Pilates/Fitness Pilates/Functional training and how we can bring the best, most up to date training methods to our Fitness Pilates sessions.

Its been an interesting week this week as I've been wrangling with REPS and Skill Active about Fitness Pilates and my Fitness Pilates certification course. So its always great to get feedback from Instructors who are out teaching and especially  wide variety of views from Instructors who have trained with different Pilates training providers.

After a good night in the Premier Inn, watching the motivating and inspiring Simon Cowell on Piers Morgan (Which I loved)  and a good hour or two online shopping on ebay.

  I've been after this Japanese Hair treatment for ages click to see and finally found it it last night on ebay plus ended up online shopping at ASOS  and Dorothy Perkins.

 We are set to do it all over again in Newcastle with leg training first and then tonights its ..... THE OSCARS which I'll be racing back to watch tonight.

Toodle pip!
