[AnnaCBH]

Ahh good one today, thanks again.

I think the sun made it harder and nicer all at the same time!

I am a bit worried about my thighs and tomorrow though....

[Proj London Health]

So guys......,

How are the legs today, any new muscles found on the upper inside of yur thighs? These are the Adductor set which get a good working when you do deep squats.

I will ping an email too!

Hey McCabe,

I definitely have those Adductor set muslces you speak of - they're in agony today!

A great workout, a fab, friendly group and sunshine - perfect :)

See you next week!

Lynz

[gengeygirl]

Oh wow the thigh pain is immense - struggling to get up from sitting! Really loved it though, thanks for the all the fun and the chats afterwards! Can't wait for next week, will hopefully have recovered by then!

Lynz, Alice & Soph and everyone else.

Remember the ladies who joined me last year and insisted on doing 3-sets of 20 Reps...., and I repeatedly said that deep squats are sooooooo deceptive. The couldn't walk for days.

I have to say, I haven't done them in a group for a while and even I felt it, but I cycled through it yesterday, and had a run with a swim this lunchtime and all is back to normal.

BTW, I have a French lady who wants to join us so the languages will really start to build up now.

Only one session away from wearing Purple!

Best!

McCabe.

[Proj London Health]

Hi guys,

I will have more of the T-shirts available on Saturday, 2-sessions under your belt and they are FREE issue. But remember, while stocks last :-)

Christmas Do....

The Black Cherry would like to offer their facilities for a Christmas Do :-). Lets talk about this on Saturday and perhaps pencil a date for late Nov before the big rush starts?

Will send out the usual rah rah email tomorrow afternoon :-)

And the legs....... are they all recovered now?

Hi guys

I'm still ill but hope to be back soon.

MelC

[Proj London Health]

Mel C,

Great to hear from you, and... hope you get better soon!

Team, the weather is looking a bit cooler for the weekend, this will be good to get the pulse rate higher without the body temp raising too much!

Two nice plastic bottles of water for the arm toning, and the usual meeting for 10am on Saturday by the Rye caf?.

See you there!

McCabe.

[hibbs]

I'll be there.

[sfhyouthforum]

Hello, or rather Hallo! Do you still run German sessions at the Black Cherry?

[Proj London Health]

G'day SFHYF,

Yes, the German starts lesson-1 this Tuesday and is a fun accelerated course of just 6-weeks, but achievable in less. It works on meaningful sentences rather than months and months of grammar and detail, so by the end of the first session you will have 20-key sentences which you can also chop and change.

Edith is an excellent teacher, and being German gives that excellent support.

For the past 3-weeks we have been working on phrases associated with exercise as a great way to learn is with passion about something. Prior to this, I'v never studied German before. After 6-weeks, we will follow the same structure in either French, Spanish, Italian or Russian. Einatmen und Ausatmen (breathe in and out).

I'll copy this over to the language thread too :-)

It's Free, but nice to buy Edith a cider :-)

[sfhyouthforum]

I run youth workshops for London Bubble at the mo, covering a maternity place. Can I join afterwards? It would mean missing the first two sessions!

What a great idea(tu). My boyfriend is German and it has been three years so about time really I learn. Worst thing of all is when I was at secondary school, I turned my nose up at German choosing French and Spanish instead, saying that it was a useless language unlike the other two and I probably won't ever go to Germany so will never need to learn it! Never say never eh?????

[Proj London Health]

Excellent, very funn to read :-)

Could you put a message on the language thread and that way I can keep everyone updated in realtime.

Sometimes, its nice to do something different to norm, and what started out as a bit of fun in Twickenham counting in a few languages has turned into a great show of languages on Peckham Rye.

No worries about missing a couple of weeks, I'm designing these so they are full on fun, learn what you need to a Level 2, and then ustilise what you have learnt. Then after 6-weeks, swap to another language but using the same format so you know exactly where you are heading.

German and cider goes really well :)-D

Hi McCabe and everyone, just wanted to say what fun I had on Saturday morning. Many thanks for the t-shirt and jacket, I'll be in purple this coming Saturday morning (:

Susan

[Proj London Health]

G'day Susan,

Thank you for your message, it's so good to get feedback. Therefore, as a treat, I'm going to work you guys even harder, well the ones in purple :-)

The session did leap up a pace last week, so I will keep the fun up and the exercise too.

Best!

McCabe

[Proj London Health]

Morning all!

This is the usual wake up call to rally you troops for tomorrow morning :-) The weather is set to be Sunny, 17C and hardly even a breeze, you couldn't ask for more!

In addition to the email during the week, I have also now added on Katie who use to be part of the group when her babe was I think just a couple of months old, and also Tom who heads up the fundraising for St Christophers Hospice.... See the 3Km & 5Km below.

Arm & shoulder toning - using bottles of water

Select the plastic water bottle size that best suits you, the stubby 1 Ltr bottles or the smaller 75CL bottles. We cover 300 Reps in arm & shoulder toning and thats before we even get into the park.

If there is anyone not in purple yet and have attended two sessions, I will have some sets with me (T-shirts & Jackets....mainly all Medium size), and have some T-shirts too of varying sizes

See you guys in the morning :-)

McCabe

ps. Whatever you do, don't ask me about the film I went to see on Sunday, 'Johnny English'

[alisontina85]

Looking forward to making the most of the last bit of sun! If anyone reading this is deciding wether to come - DO IT - you will feel better for it and enjoy the rest of your weekend all the more :)

See you all tomorrow

Alison

[MelC]

Good news! I'm better :)

Bad news! Visiting friends in the country so no hope of me being back in time in the morning.

Fingers crossed for next weekend.

[Proj London Health]

I love the motivation, and equally so a large latt?!

McCabe.

[Proj London Health]

Salut Elvyne et Tom!

21 in the group today and...... rising! It's good to see everyone in Purple, awesome!

So, next week we will have another gentle twist...... But you will have to wait and see.

Other News

Languages: German starts this Tues 7-30pm at ED Tavern, only 6-weeks with a cut-to-the-chase method. French will be next, followed by Spanish, Italian and then as a challenge Russian. They are 30-min sessions, I've prep'd Lessons 1 to 3. Does anyone know someone who can help with Italian? We have native or educated teachers in the other languages :-))

McC

Anything else on the horizon? Yep, guitar groups, cut to the quick cord progressions such as Cold Play fav's and others!

Oh yes, and knitting...... Only joking, I always drop stitches :-)

[Thomas Micklewright]

Hey McCabe thank you very much for the fitness today, I haven't done any since university 2 years ago!

Looking forward to German, and I would also like to put my name down for guitar club, I play a little!

Danke

Ciao!

Tom

[Proj London Health]
