Hi Guys and Gals, Welcome to Fitness News #5

 

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all

 

Well I've survived the office party, I had 2, last Friday night for IBM and Saturday Night for Fitness First

Original Music

The big news this week is that Fitness Australia have successfully overturned the ruling on licenses for PPCA music.  That means that gyms can go back to playing everything for the pricing they use to pay.

 

However the gyms cancelled their licenses and that means that we cannot play the music, so it's the same PPCA free music for now.  I'll keep you updated on any changes, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Federal Court overturns hike in music fees

RPM 49 What you think

Last week I played RPM49 in all classes, this is what you said.  A strong positive vote.  Les Mills is getting better at cover music

Fitness News #4

Fitness News #4

 

Hi Guys and Gals,

Welcome to Fitness News #4

 

As you know I've been on holiday and I was thinking 'what to write about' and then it came to me 'Exercise when your on holiday'

Holiday Exercise

 

First thing is that we are on holiday to enjoy ourselves but how many of us (probably all of us) have done no exercise and seriously over indulged.

 

The trick for many is to incorporate the exercise into the holiday activities, do some research on the location – google is your friend.  Sorts of things you can find are;

-          running routes

-          bicycle hire

-          yoga centres

-          local group fitness activities

-          interesting walks

-          even a local gym  J

Remember to enjoy your holiday

While over in NZ attending Bro's wedding, I managed to get out a lot of Sis's bicycle, visit the gym a few times and do a 5k fun run (and my legs were sore for days LOL).  All fitted into the gaps between the activities involved in the wedding, Sis's birthday and my Nieces' birthday

 

Classes

Would like to thank Alice, Fumi and Luana for covering while I was away.

 

Lazy week for me so far only 3 classes, though that's bound to change as the week go by

Fitness News #3

Fitness News #2

Hi Guys and Gals,

Welcome to Fitness News #3

While on Holiday I've managed to do some classes with Sarah, who is the #1 RPM instructor in the world.  Sarah along with her husband Glen are the creators of RPM.  I've posted a couple of photos of Sarah on Facebook.

Saw a guy get off the ferry and he had his helmet on back to front, so I took a snap with my phone camera LOL

Stumbled upon this picture of spinning in a swimming pool, what do you recon that would be like?

Forums

I was asked about forums.  Well there are 3 main forums that have content on Group Fitness
Les Mills
Les Mills Forums is the official forum of the Les Mills programs.  Most of the posts are by instructors.  Sometimes you get posters who are a little argumentative, but generally you get your questions answered
Group Fitness
The original forum for group exercise, does cover some items outside of Les Mills, but mainly Les Mills.  A little quieter than the Les Mills forums, but the posters are nearly always friendly
Vouge Sport & Fitness
A general fitness forum, but often the posts are specific to Les Mills activities.  Not that many instructors, but there are some.
Classes

Second week in New Zealand,  Luana and Fumi are continuing to cover my classes. 

Last week Fumi was sick and Alice covered North Strathfield Wednesday 5.45pm.  Haven't met Alice
