I always tell people that are new to BodyPump, the first three sessions should be about learning the form and range of motion. Doing most of the exercises, even with little or no weight can still give you a workout. The high reps can make light weights feel very heavy. Add weights gradually, it is a journey. :smile: If you…

When I became a Les Mills Instructor, one bit of advice other instructors gave me was the need to become more aerobic. It is one thing to take a class, it is another to remember the choreography and call out instructions and timings without sounding like you are short of breath. For me, interval running worked well to get…

I used to hate most veggies growing up, but have just had to buckle down and learn to eat them. One of the least offensive ways (for me anyway) is to have them roasted and then pureed into a creamy soup. That is what kind of bridged the gap for me.

I know some people who use Pedialyte as it is very well balanced and not too sweet. Before I gave up artificial sweeteners, I swore by Propel. It made…

In the past two years my foot has gained a size-a size and a half. My podiatrist said it is not uncommon as we age for some people's feet to spread out and to see some increase from exercise that puts pressure on the feet.

Get back to your normal meal plan as quickly as you can. It is okay if you eat a little less the following meal if you are less hungry, but don't starve yourself or you will find yourself craving again in no time. A once in a while binge isn't a bad thing and your body should recover within a week. I find that if I binge I…
