Q) How often do you visit Studio Glo each week?

At the moment due to the busyness of December it’s irregular but I go about 2-4 times a week. I love it.

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

Chatting before class, during class and after class… That’s an activity right? I also like challenging things like boxing when you can’t move your arms any more and a climb on the bike when your legs have already turned to jelly J

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

Push ups… But I can do more than 5 now so there is a sweet sense of   accomplishment with every dreaded push-up!

Q) What were your Health and Fitness goals when starting with Studio Glo and how have you gone progressing toward them?

My aim was to lose weight, tone up and change some of my lifestyle   habits while I’m still young. I have lost weight, I have toned up and I’m working on my habits. I’ve learned that habits are hard to change… really hard but you cannot give up or else the bad habit wins.

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

Probably don’t ask me that... everyone says good things like grilled chicken or salad. I love a big curry or a pasta dish with a glass of red... don’t hate me, at least I came to training! (see... still working on those habits).

Q) If you could swap bodies for a day with anyone who’s would you choose?

Maybe my Nanna or my Pa.  I’m a GenYer and we have a tendency to not appreciate what we have. If I swapped bodies with one of my grandparents, felt the aches and pains they have each day (but hide well) I’d hope to realise how great my body is now and thus appreciate it more, take care of it more and use it while it’s in prime condition!

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

Judy, Carolyn, Asha, Nicky and Mei Li.  I love working out with them. They’re encouraging and also inspiring but I wouldn’t say no to Hugh Grant… he’s reliable and you need that in training... although he’s only reliable because he’s the same in every movie… I love Hugh.

Q) What is the one Studio Glo exercise / activity you are determined to master?

Ugh… push ups. One day I will be able to do them without shaking. I’ll show Kylie that I can do more than 20 push ups without needing a break!

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

Accept where you are at. For years I lived in the ‘what I could be’ without accepting where I was. Until I was willing to face the reality of my    situation I couldn’t actually make any changes to it because I was working with dreams and not reality.  Start with where you are and make        realistic goals like ‘I will work out 3 times a week’ rather than ‘I will lose 2 kgs this week’ because you can’t actually control how many kgs you lose but you can control how often you work out.  Achieve those goals and the physical changes will       happen.  I still have to remind myself that to get to where I want to be it will take time, it will be hard, and I will fail but I can and will keep going.  Also, make friends at Studio Glo because you won’t want to come some days but if you have friends you’ll want to see them and when you miss a class they will hound you about why you weren’t there (thanks guys).
