So I tried a new class last wednesday - a 30 minute "core blitz".

I'm not convinced of it yet - the instructor Gareth didn't seem 100% sure on how he wanted to progress with the class; there was an older woman in the group who couldn't kneel or lay on her back so the instructor was having to give her one sort of exercise and then give me and the other girl attending a different sort of exercise.

I'm not sure I was doing some of the exercises right - he was saying it should work one muscle and I was getting aches in different places. The woman doing the other exercises needed more help and supervision and most of the exercises involved the instructor helping her so I was unable to ask for more guidance...I didn't want to ask for more help :/
It felt more like I was intruding on someone else's one-to-one session rather than attending a class.

I did mention to Gareth after the session that I felt I hadn't been very good and that I hadn't really got as much out of the session as I had hoped. He assured me that a lot of it was practice and perfecting the moves.
Not sure how I'm meant to perfect the move without the instructors input :/

I may give the class another try next week - we'll see.

You plonker. Just go and pretend you've not even noticed.

This weeks class was a bit better than last so I'm glad I went. The older woman decided not to come which allowed Gareth to be able to focus on the whole class rather than just her. Unfortunately he had been left alone so was trying to answer the phone, keep an eye on other members, show someone round who had randomly dropped in as well as do the class.
I did tell him I thought this week had been better than last and he said that he was glad and hoped next week would be more organised.

Flippin' 'eck Piggy, that's awesome. Well done!!! I find the shoulder press one of the hardest weights to take up. Managed to go up by 1/2kg tonight though

Thanks Kate, I've always had quite weak shoulders so I'm chuffed

I was going to do the 8s but couldn't find the damn dumbells so I thought I'd give the 9s a go and surprised myself \o/
