Hello , 👋🏾👋🏾

 Hi

 It has  been a very long time since I have updated ! 

I am turning 50 this year 

I have 2 grandchildren now 

2 working adult children and my last child in sixth form .

I have still been taking part in fitness events and classes.

I regularly attend classes 

I take part in Zumba - once or twice a week 

I do a spin class once a week 

I do combat fit once a week 

I do Body pump once a week 

I enjoy attending classes , not just for the exercise but also for the social element of it .

Back in 2006 and started doing Bollywood dancing and made some amazing friends . We are still great friends to this day and often meet up for a meal and a cocktail 🍸. We no longer do classes together but we are good friends .

I have friends from Zumba which I have know over 10 years who I still do classes with and celebrate life with 😊

The other 3 classes are run by Darren at Fuse Fitness.  I have been doing these classes since 2019. I have made some good fitness friends who are very supportive in class.  As a fitness organisation Fuse Fitness organised a holiday to Morocco in 2022 it wa as amazing 😍.  There is another holiday organised but it is not until 2025 to Costa Rica .

I am still working as a family support officer , I enjoy my job most of the time .

Oh my nan turned 90 last year !

Update

What have I been up to since I last blogged ???
Last year I completed a 50k trek in the Peak District. Took me over 16 hrs non stop but I did it 🎉
I still do Zumba and Fightklub so I average out at about 5 hrs of exercise a week .
The 2 hour Fightklub box park events are now twice a month . Once in Croydon and once in Wembley.

I have just joined Good Gym .
I now visit an elder person once a week . I walk to and back from the elderly person ,who is know as my Coach.
This works out to be roughly 5k a week .

My life is good

Update

Hi I have been a bit busy since I last updated . 

In May I discovered a new exercise class called Fight Klub . It's amazing it burns loads of calories. It involves wearing boxing gloves and punching a freestanding punch bag in time to music squats , kicks , burpees and press ups , 4/5 people per bag all done to Drum and base music.

 Love it ! Classes are 1 hour long. But once a month the do a special session on a Saturday at Croydon Boxpark  which is for 2 hours .

By August I realized I could do Zumba followed by Fight Klub back to back on a 

Wednesday and still feel great afterwards.

So I have managed to up my classes from 2hrs a week to a total of 4 or 5 hours a week (Zumba and Fight Klub )

September 2017 

Did a 50 mike walking charity fundraiser for Crisis but as I was about to take part in another charity event I paid the £50 sponsor money myself . I had 2 months to walk 50 miles , I did it in 2 weeks.

October 2017 

7/10/17-15/10/17. I travelled to China with my mum to walk on the Great Wall of China . We meet up with other charity walkers . I walked a total of 43 miles over the five days that we were on top of the wall . The wall is steep and scary but exhilarating .i loved walking on the wall.
