We're off and Racing......

Still feels like a dream..... I can't believe I have won this awesome opportunity.  Full access to 3 months, any sessions, as many sessions. Training Club, and Metabolic Jumpstart specific nutrition program..... it is all at my feet, thanks to Step into Life Labrador - Ian Verrico.
Today was a beautiful warm August Qld day, which made for good night training weather.  We train at Labrador State School, and everyone was so encouraging and lovely.  Tonights session was called "BOXKICK", boxkick undersells the session a little, as it also included running forwards & backwards, pushups, squats, lots of laughing & fun. Interval training.  It was great to meet everyone including Ian for the first time. 

You know sometimes in a session, you get set an activity and you think..... there is no way I can do that.  When we had to lay down and do like sit up boxing I watched my partner and went nah I won't get off the ground. But I did, which again goes to show.... your body is smarter then your mind.
The warm up run and games were fun, I was hooked within the first 5 minutes.  Throughout the session I kept thinking to myself this is going to be awesome, and will change my whole outlook on training forever.  I also thought no wonder Anna has such beautiful arms, being trained like this. 
Wearing my Heart Rate monitor, I was able to get a good idea of  just how hard my body worked.  We exercised for exactly 52.17 minutes. Plus Warm Up and Cool Down.  It was so much FUN and I managed to burn 513 calories!!!  Tasks for today: Weigh, measure, fill in my book, and read up on the nutrition information.
Next session: With work and family my next session will be either Saturday or Sunday morning...depending on the kids n Al.  Tomorrows focus is NUTRITION!!!  With the specific process of Metabolic Jumpstart the upcoming week will just be my usual Clean, Lean Plan with a few little bits of normal here and there.... One thing I did notice when I got back from training is that I was starving, and tired.  I am a little sore, and I am sure I will be a lot more in the morning! Feel the BURN night all xx
