San Fran Quarterly

 

So Nat and I just got back from the San Fran Les Mills Quarterly. It was an awesome day! Almost all of the Custom Bodies Fitness instructors went (Paula, Desi, Rachael, Keenan, Sanna, Heather, Dave, Nat and I) and had a great time.

The day went as follows:

6.45am Registration, then breakfast

7.45am BodyCombat and education session
Combat was absolutely awesome! Kili, Josef and Justin were fab, and it was such a blast. I also hit my highest ever heart rate (191 bpm.)

Then BodyAttack, BodyVive (which I didn’t do), lunch.

1.30pm BodyPump
Pump was great - Josef, Justin and Emma Barry presented and I heard a few great cues. Highlight: Justin’s look of “oh my god you didn’t just say that!” when Emma Barry said, “Now as we say in New Zealand, don’t blow your load too soon!” haha! Emma was great (and damn can she lift some awesome weights!) and it was even nice seeing Josef get just a little confused about choreo - it isn’t just us that it happens to! BodyPump 65 is fantastic, too.

Then BodyStep, which I only did a little bit of.

5pm RPM with Dan (program director from New Zealand.) It was  a great class, with some really great ideas for visual cues. It’s also the release I’ll train on when I do RPM training in May, so it was definitely worthwhile to go through.

6pm BodyJam
I hadn’t done BodyJam pretty much ever, so I was shocked that I had such a blast! The choreography in this one seemed kind of simple (as in, attainable in your first class to get it mostly right) which made it a huge amount of fun!

After that, we went for dinner and I drank way too much wine (on top of dehydration from a whole day of working out!) for which I’m still suffering today!

But anyway, it was awesome - but now I got to get my butt together and start learning choreo!!!! Launching BP on April 14th, and BodyCombat on the 19th!!

    big news for the day… i have tendonitis! go me and my old and decrepit body!

  6.  

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mark I am so so so sorry. So which testicle are they going to take out? Will you be going all aerodynamic like Lance and his prune bag or going to get a falsely in the old marble pouch?

    Oh….. I wait, I am confused, it is not of the sack but of the constant use of the elbow/wrist. Ahh thank you wikipedia. Well if you think about it they kind of go together. Oh well.

    Any news on coming state side?

    Do people seriously get a false one to rebalance the pack?! Heh, and my tendonitis is from punching too hard too much unfortunately…

    Still 50/50 on the trip, all depends on finding cheap flights, i tell you what Matthew, if you’re still bored at work, find out how cheap I can get flights for leaving on the 27th of June and heading back the 5th of July. :-)

    That’s tennis elbow, right? My daddy got that, and then marveled at how, since he doesn’t play tennis. Of course, the doctor said he had to do exercises to help it, so he made sure to do many bends of his drinking arm to strengthen it!
