A friday in flight mode!

I woke up at 4.40! Yes – that’s right, 04.40 am.
And then my trip looked like this:
Stockholm – Oslo (Norway)
Oslo – Trondheim
Trondheim – Mo i Rana, which is upnorth in Norway.

And the last flight was that kind of flight I really do not appreciate.
A tiny propeller plane and just a few seats.
But I’m alive (which I’m so happy and grateful for) and I got here safe and sound.

I’m holding a BODYJAM® initial training module, for Friskhuset.
And since we started pretty late this afternoon we kept it going pretty late as well. So when we’re done for the night I figured that it was less than 12 hours before we’d be back in the studio for the first presentation.

A bit less time than usual, but the best thing is to just make the best and most out of the situation, right?!

The funniest thing is that one of the instructors in the training is a former class buddy to me, from Danscenter.
She had to drop out of school earlier than the rest of the class though, beacuse of back problems.
And instead she studied to become a psycologist – which she now is working as, here in Mo i Rana of all the places.
Besides that she’s teaching classes at Friskhuset, and now she’s about to become a BODYJAM® instructor as well.
Just Awesome!

Besides that – I’ve had a pretty rough week. Not really anything in particular, but several minor things that’s been taking a lot of energy… so I’m pretty washed up right now.
SO – I’m going to sleep now – while the school class that stays at the same hotel will continue partying I guess.

I don’t mind actually. I prefere some noice rather than total silence. 🙂

Looking forward to day II.

Payback!

Have you seen this article?!
Sorry international readers – it’s in swedish. But it’s about Reebok that are forced to pay back about 160 millions swedish crowns to american consumers that feel scammed by their EasyTone shoe.
No way?! You don’t get fit and firmed by just wearing the shoe? Shocking!!

I guess you need a little bit of sweat and hard work after all… or like Nike said right from the start: there are no shortcuts – if you wanna have something you gotta earn it.
And you need to be 100% earned.
And I guess that one of the reasons that they don’t need to pay about
22 871 600 US $ back to unfit (and angry) customers…

Do you wanna know what happens when you wear these shoes?
You’ll get a tiny bit taller… 🙂

BODYJAM®weekend!

My weekend’s been energetic, fun and intense – but I guess not as intense as my for my students.

When you attend an initial training it’s a lot to take in, adapt and pay attention to during three days. And the group of this past weekend did an awesome job with that!
So, thank you for your attention and for beeing serious with your mission of becoming BODYJAMMERS, along with your positive and happy vibes!!
I know you’re gonna ROCK!

It was a small group, only 7 people – since this was a training that was added extra in the schedule fairly recently.
So the crowd didn’t have to fight about the attention or the space which contributed to a quicker and easier learning and a relaxed environment.

We were at Sportlife Hornsgatan – maybe the tiniest gym in Stockholm!
(or one of them at least)
It worked out well though, and we had a great thai food place next door. Lovely!

The september-11 crowd of BODYJAM® rockstars!

Now – charging up for the weekend, and doing some last preparations.
Three days of initial training, BODYJAM® – starting tomorrow morning at 08.00
Can’t wait to meet a group of new awesome jammers!

Q’s (and A’s!)

I was watching a BODYPUMP® class at the gym today – and so I have many times.
And I have a question for you guys:
Why is it that so many people – when they’re doing a squat…
 
They – instead of stopping the movement when they’re upright – push the hip forward so they look like a banana?

Like pic no 3 – to the right.
I see the same thing in my core classes when we squat in the warm up.

Sweet street!

Back home after my wednesday street class. I can tell it’s in the beginning of the semester. It’s a lot of new people – but of course a lot of regulars as well. The best mix!
And now all people start to find their places and to relax a bit more.
It was a FUN class today, for sure. And sweaty!

Monday night – the marketing department from SATS filmed my classes; core and street. They’re gonna use it in a inspiration film. So stay tuned on the website. You might see yourself dance past the camera (or crunch past)

Breeeeeath!!

Honestly – I’ve been a bit uninspired to blog lately.

Mostly because I’ve had shitloads of stuff to do – but it’s been a lot of everyday job, like teaching, choreographing, preparing and so on…to mention some of the stuff.
And I get totally exhausted when I read about other people and their “to-do-lists”

So, I figured it’s not to hot to read about days that – to other people – looks pretty much the same. To me though it’s totally a difference between the days, and it’s been happy and funny days. I’m enjoying it!

And, I love to be busy! So, no complains. Never.  
I rather work when I do have job – you never know what happens tomorrow.

The past 48 hours I’ve been teaching 9 classes – 5 of them have been BODYBALANCE™.  My hamstrings are thrilled.
And even though it’s really (really really really even) hard to go up early I love my wednesday morning class when I get there.
54 have landed for sure and the crowd is working it.

Do you wanna join me for some BODYBALANCE™?!
Monday 12.00 Tule
Tuesday 06.45 Hornstull
Tuesday 11.00 Hötorget
Wednesday 06.45 Fridhemsplan
