Week Five

Buoyed up by my mid-week session I was looking forward to getting into the gym again on Friday.  I'd had a mad day sorting out stuff for the PTA school disco and had rushed from helping out there, so was pretty tired.

Still, a good session.  Only managed one or two forward rolls that I could stand up from on the airtrack, bit disappointing!  However, once again, another lesson learnt - I've refused to even try a backward roll since I've started - just utterly convinced with my "bulk" lol I wouldn't be able to do it (I see enough skinny kids who can't do one, let alone lumpy old me!!).  But to my surprise I tried one on the airtrack and I could do it!!  Yippee!  Another thing to add to the list.  Still have trouble doing them on the floor, but hopefully with lots of practice I'll be able to (the airtrack is my new best friend!!). 

Also saw Steve's sadistic side today!  He made me put weights on my ankles!!  OMG it felt like running through treacle!  So much harder to do stuff, but the idea is when you take them off you'll be able to do things better!  Not sure that worked in my case!!

Steve also is making me put this photo up....to show my "welly boots" feet!  (Something I'm always telling my son off for!!!) - It wasn't my fault though, it was the weights!  Honest!

 

Two weeks off now as I'm not around next week, and then it's half term.  I'm coaching at the club's Gym Camp during half term though - what's the betting I can't keep off the equipment then!!?!
