Q) What is your favourite Studio Glo exercise / activity?

A) Boxing because it’s my chance to pay back Jarrod by hitting him (on the mitts) as hard as I can. I find that boxing is a high energy work out which helps me to de- stress and to release plenty of aggression. I’m a lawyer so I can’t help myself.

Q) What is your least favourite Studio Glo exercise / activity?

A) Stair runs. I’m planning to sue Jarrod if I go through the glass doors ( I think he’s very rich but just pretends he isn’t).

Q) What was your Health and Fitness goal when starting with Studio Glo and how have you gone progressing toward it?

A) I wanted to increase my fitness (although when the alarm goes off  I sometimes wonder why),  lose some weight (at age 55, I am challenged by gravity), lower my blood pressure (which is an occupational hazard), and improve my cardio-vascular system( I have the heart attack gene thanks to my old man, may he rest in peace). Since starting at Studio Glo in April and thanks to Jarrod (who constantly reminds me of the Commando on Biggest Loser), I have made amazing progress on these four fronts. What is better still is that my energy levels and sense of well being and overall enjoyment of life have improved dramatically (and no, I am not being paid for these gratuitous comments).

Q) After a big Studio Glo work out what would be your ideal meal?

A) After working out, I usually have two poached  eggs on whole meal toast,  with spinach and vegemite ( no butter). This breakfast gives me a good balance of protein, fiber, iron and carbohydrates (without much fat) and that easily keeps me going until lunchtime. I also enjoy two long blacks (which I know is sinful but no-one is perfect).

Q) If you could do a group exercise class with any 5 people  (alive or dead) who would you choose?

A It’d have to be Merv and Chris because I greatly admire how they go about working out and I also  need to compete against them. We’d be joined by Jarrod because everyone needs a great P.T. I’d also want my wife Lynette (who works out with Kylie) because she inspires me to live life fully and to live it well. The fifth person would be the Pope because I need some help from above for my coffee addiction.

Q)   Do you have any tips for new Studio Glo members?

A)  And some tips? Don’t cancel a session unless you have a very, very good reason (motivation is what gets you started but habit is what keeps you going). Secondly, be committed for the long haul because results take time and effort and hard work (the long term benefits to health and well being make it all very worthwhile). Thirdly, let your P.T take you to the edge and give you a shove (they really do care about us, know what they’re doing, and want us to reach our full potential).Fourthly, get to know others at the gym (we’re all in this together) and be inspired by their dedication, determination and daring. Finally, be yourself only better (80% of the battle is in our minds and what we are able to achieve has mostly to do with attitude).
