It takes time to 'perfect' the plank. |
|
|
Practice, practice, practice! |
|
|
In the Cycle Room... |
|
|
Instead of cycling, I decided to stretch! |
|
|
Tight hammys (hamstrings) are no fun! Stretching helps! |
|
|
Setting up the music before cracking the whip, ha ha |
|
|
Trying to get a grip near the...balls, hah! |
|
|
Didn't feel too sturdy.. |
|
|
Forgive me, I continue to be but a WIP (Work In Progress). |
|

Right after class - instructor holds dumbbell, member needs a drink! |
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, I can ride with my handbag weighing down my shoulder! |
|
|
Steady there girlie, steady yourself! |
|
|
Sometimes, it takes two..to hold up a bar! |
|
|
Wait, it now takes three... |
|
|
|
|
|
Has to argue with instructor.. |
|
|
Chest press, you go girl! |
|

Balance and core work! |
|
|
Let's go! |
|
|
Different stages of working the tricep area! |
|
|
Who wants flabby arms? Not me! |
|
|
|
|
|
Some merely look on; others actually do (perform)! |
|
|
She is focused! |
|
|
Time to 'hurdle' and balance! |
|
|
Mini hurdles can be fun! |
|
|
We all have hurdles to face! |
|
|
The 'ready' look! |
|
|
I love setting up group activities! |
|
|
After a challenging class... |
|
|
I LOVE it! |
|
|
I teach AND participate; gotta get my balance on, ha ha! |
|
|
Can you honestly do this pose? Hold for at least 20-30 secs? Try it! |
|
|
It takes a 'lot of focus'. |
|
|
We are all at different levels, but never stop trying! |
|
|
|
|
|
Move your body and stretch! |
|
|
|
|
|
How can I motivate if I don't participate? Gotta keep on going! |
|
|
There's always THAT ONE who has to be different:). |
|
|
Lower body strengthing with a ball, yes! |
|

Don't compare, just don't give up! |

Holding on for dear life and laughing about it! |

Never used this machine before... |
|
|
Resting my right arm a bit more.. |
|
|
Getting ready to work dem shoulders.. |
|
|
This expression shows how I really feel, ha ha.. |
|

It's best to change up the positioning here and there. |
