I think it’s getting to the point that I should just give up or at least live right next door to a gym. The closest one to me is a 5 min walk away but it so basic it’s bad. I ended up stopping going to Elevate Fitness. The cost and travel there wasn’t for…

Starting my journey – again!
So, I am on my fitness journey once again. I must have done this multiple times before and failed. This time I have a plan and I am to stick to it. I have been debating which gym I was going to join. I liked my previous PT gym but the price was just too…
WEIGHT LOSS SERIES: MONTHLY UPDATE 2
So I have lost a further 4lbs in June!!! Hope it continues
Weight loss series: Monthly update
The intention was to do a weekly update but things got in the way, I got lazy and also started my extended placement finally, so I think it would be a better idea to do a monthly update instead. In one month I have lost 3.6 lbs! My body fat/fat mass is still very high…
Weight series: A truthful weigh-in

First time doing the Clean
My last 1-2-1 I worked on the Hang/Power Clean move. First using a dowl to work to break down the movement then onto a 7.5kg training barbell then to a 15kg bar with 10kgs. I need lots of work on this move, like most people starting out. The hang positioning at the top, the hip…
When you just want to throw up.
I had my second 1-2-1 on Wednesday, I wanted to die! Warm up then got working on presses to find out my 3RM. I’ve never been good with this exercise, I have no arm strength. vs strict press I started with 15kg bar for the strict press, moving to 20kg then 25kg then 30kg. Couldn’t…
Starting my Crossfit journey
I’ve taken the plunge and joined my local Crossfit box. Looking forward to seeing my progress not just in weight loss but in strength too. I have currently gone for a 2 class a week plan as I just can’t commit to more at the moment. The box starts new ‘athletes’ in the Academy. This…
