What have you been up to? I've been up to.....

A lot.
It's been busy for me but if you follow my face book page (https://www.facebook.com/Missfitnesskenya) you will notice that I try to workout even when traveling or visiting family.

Last week for example, I took baby to see her grandparents. I carried along with me my 10 kg kettlebell and had fun working out with it in my mother's front yard. I couldn't make it to the gym as baby had no playgroup to attend and I did not have a child minder. Sometimes, she would try to imitate me as I worked out and she looked for worms in the flower bed (yes, I let her get dirty. :-) cleaning up is so much fun for her).

I am also working on getting certification to teach classes. I already offer training at a very subsidized cost and with a caveat that I am still studying. I also realise that even though I am studying for a Personal Trainer paper, I need to be able to teach group classes as well.

So, what did I chose? You will never guess it...

I am going to do a Zumba training course this easter weekend!

Yap, I tried dancing, I looked funny, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. So when I'm not lifting, or getting you to lift, I will be trying to get you to dance as you laugh at my attempts to do so.

So here's to new beginnings, changing careers and a constant journey in self improvement.

Keep active!

It was a fun day!

Yesterday was Operation Lose that Pot Belly Health and Fitness day in Nairobi! Here are the highlights! 

There were nutrition talks, and exhibitors outside, I have loads of photos, here are a few of the workout sessions. Thank you everyone! The day was fabulous! 

Zumba....I have never seen a class like this one




Probably because of the instructor, Jossy Simonet....my goodness she rocks! 

Guess who.....warming up the class for strength


And you cannot have strength without push ups..yes ladies, hate me for it, I will always have you do push ups in my class


My very fit friend and a personal trainer Wangare leading the bums and tums class....by the way she is training for a triathlon this year....I'm gonna paparazzi that too!

One of Wangare's victims...that class would have made me ache too if I wasn't pretending to take photos 

And then we cut the cake. On the Left, Janet who just had a baby but was there full force, on the right, Shiku, organised the event. Don't be fooled by her stature, she's a pocket hercules! 
 And I cannot forget our Mistress of ceremony? Mueni did a great job! She has the mic on this one.

Let's do this again sometime!
