Greetings!

Body Pump

My Les Mills journey began with the #50 Body Pump Celebration Release. My trainers were Mike Campanella and Noel. I haven't looked back once. Out of all the Les Mills programs Body Pump is my absolute favorite!!

Body Vive

For Body Vive my trainer was the ever lovely, beautiful, and classy Karen Torrell! Now that is a Lady who KNOWS how to connect to a class of new Trainers!

I trained on BV1. Ten years from now that should give me a bit of bragging rights. Although I don't think I will ever get that hip wiggle right on "Smooth"! GRIN!

RPM

My second fitness passion and desire has been to get certified in RPM!! I survived the first module mid July. Now it is time to get ready for the video! I have until October to submit my video.

I am proud to have trained with such fine men and women! You guys are the best.

Carrie Keppell was our trainer.

Like Track 5, "Kickstart My Heart" on Release 39 says, now its time to "Kick some ---!"

Ironman Training

This last March, at the Crescent City Classic Expo(10K Race in New Orleans) I walked by the Ochsner booth and saw a display for the Ochsner Ironman 70.3 in April 2009. I was hooked and signed up.

Now I have a strong, long range fitness goal!!!RPM is going to fit like a glove in my training schedule!!!

BRING IT ON!!

Ironman...I like the sound of that!!!

Tangohia Te Wero!

Charlene the BP Queen	Hey Ironman Gary! Hello from the OC! Looks like you're having some great LM fun in Louisiana! Went on a little 25 mile bikeride this am. Great way to start the day! I'm hooked! I'm a wanna-be RPM'er - but no gym nearby offers RPM - so I'm a spinner and a roadbiker instead! Ironman - now that's what I call going for greatness! Keep me posted how great you're going! CTBPQ

Leslie	Hi Gary! It was great team teaching with you! I hope we can do it more often. You were great! I'm very sore! Leslie

Dana	Gary, I am hoping that you can teach me some things that you learned. I want to become better at coaching cadence. Without a heart rate monitor, it is hard to know where your heart rate is. I know at times my heart rate is 100% which isn't good. I want all people to be successful in my class and you have to coach for all levels. It is challenging. Hope you can come soon.
