Titans Wednesday Night Fit Club

If you want to increase your fitness, tone up your body and lose fat?  Then this class is for you!

Changes have been made and there is no more Circuit Training on a Thursday night in the Hall. I‘m branching out into the wilderness, well not quite... more like Friary Park!   The new and exciting ‘Fit Club’ will be happening every Wednesday evening.

Beginners Running Group

Running is a great way to get fit and lose some weight! If you’ve always liked the idea of running a 5K, but have never felt brave enough to give it a go, then read on!!!

Forget January... You can start NOW!!…

January is over! All those promises of exercise and diet have gone out of the window. Not to worry, I have a few tips for you on how to get outside, get the heart pumping, get the blood flowing and fat burning.

Training Tools

I need to tell you about my new app! Don’t get confused this is not a gadget blog - oh well it might be today. This is a great training tool and I’ve only used it a few times but I love it.

Improving Bike Fitness

As some of you might know, I’ve been out of training with a knee problem. But finally the Physio has given me the green light to test out my knee and after a short run and a cycle, I’ve come through unscathed (well, a few little niggles but I’m sure I’m just being hypersensitive) I gather as long as I take it easy and build up some strength slowly I should be fine.

Circuit Training

Next week is the start of my Circuit Training class. I have my checklist: the venue is booked, I’m insured up to the eyeballs (so please don’t trip and hurt yourself on purpose!) and I have a licence to play music - SO all I need now are some pupils!!

Ironman: The Beginning

Ironman….wait for it…140.3 miles - a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 miles on your bike and let’s not forget the small matter of running a marathon too, so that’s another 26 odd miles!!!


Now if you’re an elite athlete you can look at a sub 10 hour time… If you’re in great shape, you’re looking for a sub 12 hour time… and for everyone else, the aim is sub 17 hours (This is when they take down the finishing line, the flags and bunting - close up and go home.) No medal, no glory!

Muscle Adaptation with Aerobic Training

The body is an amazing thing, the more I learn about it the more I am astonished at the way it works and changes. You can spend hours looking at the skeletal system, the nervous system, circulation and respiration systems. Looking at the muscles of the body these are split into 3 types: Skeletal muscle, Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscle.
