Hannah\’s Blog

Training starts back next week and I am really looking forward to getting back into Pumping Iron.  I am refreshing up my website as well.  This week is focussing on the workouts coming and learning the theories behind them and lealrning new exercises.  I have just done one of my clients Rachels first posing session.  It takes me back to remembering what it was like first walking in competition heels and learning how to pose.  I didnt have a UK Figure Coach helping me, I had to learn from dvd’s and then eventually had my first session with Jenn Searles in NYC and then Jenny Lynn’s Figure Camp.  Thats good memories, hopefully I will be helping create the same with my clients of 2012 x

I have just seen that quite a lot of my blogs have disappeared, so here is the latest  that has happenned.

I went to Canada to the UFE’s North American Championships and entered the Elite Category in Figure.  I placed 5th out of 11 girls.  The standard was very high and it was another amazing experience.  I am still working on competing there again this year, in November and possibly October - my aim and goal is still to achieve my pro card.  I have now been competing since Nov 2007 and this is my 5th Year and hopefully my year.

I have taken 8 weeks off training to allow my body to rest, this is the first time in 5 years I have had such a break.  Running the gym and looking after clients has been busy this year and I have the most ever members in the gym, at a record so all is good.  I have been teaching classes and now have 2 girls entering their first Figure Shows in April.  My pre-season training is about to start in 2 weeks and I am learning about insulin sensitiviy and how important it is as well as cortisol levels, so I hope to bring to the stage this year, a bigger body and to be in even better shape once again.  The goals are set and I am getting ready to begin another journey x
