Quarterly workshops ROCK!
So Nat and I had the GREATEST weekend!!! We went down to San Diego for the Les Mills quarterly workshop, which is basically like a big one-day convention type of thing for instructors, where they teach us the quarter’s new releases for every program. We took part in:
BodyCombat master class, and listened to the education session
BodyAttack master class
RPM education, and RPM master class
BodyPump education and BodyPump master class
BodyStep master class
BodyFlow master class
Basically that was from 8am through to 6pm. It was absolutely awesome.
The verdict … BodyCombat was so much fun - surprisingly so! And I didn’t fall down once! BodyAttack was okay but a little too (as Natty puts it) “Jane Fonda on ecstasy” for me. But the trainers were hilarious presenting it!
RPM was absolutely amazing and very ass-kicking (in the great way.) BodyPump was freakin’ awesome - just so much energy in the room, a lot of fun. And BodyFlow was very muchly needed at the end of the day! Oh and Step - not really my thing, I nearly stacked it and fell flat on my face or twisted my ankle a few times! I’m just not terribly co-ordinated!!
Unfortunately, the floor wasn’t really the best they could have used for a lot of high-impact classes and Nat and I are really limping around - part from effort and part from the crap floor - on account of some damn sore calves!! But it was worth it, such a great day! That night we then had dinner and drinks with Rachael and Keenan (other instructors at Golds) and had an absolute blast just gossiping and chatting.
Anyway now I can’t walk, but it was the greatest weekend … bring on the next quarter!!
