I thought it was important to say ....

Thursday Evening we did a KB Circuit style session. It was excellent and once it was over I felt that I had worked every muscle in my body. There was such a mixture of activities, I felt like I never really caught my breath in the whole time we did the 10 stations - and then we did it a second time. In a nutshell we did each station for one minute with a 20 second rest in between each exercise.

We stepped it up a litt… Continue

I'm so glad that Summer is here. Why? Well it signals the end of the mad period of work between January and May. All my students have just finished their revision courses, they are busy prepping for exams, and that means my work is done...at least until the September intake.
