Yes, you did read that headline correctly. We will be doing Fitness Fridays and Steve Nash Fitness World AND Diane’s Lingerie are an important part of this first post.

Each week I’ll be featuring something fun that will help me, and therefore possibly you, achieve my/your fitness goals. The first week I had to get myself some support, from both a personal trainer, and a bra.

Every day you need support whether your breasts are big or small. I’m currently on the larger size of the equation, so it was super important for me to have a bra that fits and really supports. How many times do you see someone running down the street and wonder if they might take out their eye because their boobies are flying around so much? I didn’t want to be that girl.

Lynda Barr, from Diane’s Lingerie, suggests two important points to remember when sports bra shopping:

• Bra companies, versus athletic wear companies, have year of experience and research in making bras, & they bring this focus and experience to their sports bras versus a company.  Nike has experience in textiles but maybe not so much experience in making and fitting bras.
• A bra fitter! The biggest mistake is not getting fit for the proper bra size. Majority of women are in the wrong bra size to begin with and they translate that into their sports bra purchase. They need to get fit by a professional bra fitter and ensure they are purchasing a bra that suits their fitness needs.

Just go to Diane’s and you need not worry!

Off to Diane’s Lingerie on Granville I went then and I tried on several bras and found the Air Control Sports Bra which is an awesome colour and fits great! No, that’s not me above. I’m not that brave.

Off to Steve Nash where I’ve been a member since 1987. I’ve had a seriously lacking attendance record of late, and while I do have a background in fitness (I once was an aerobic instructor way back when), there’s all sorts of new moves and far more effective routines to get and stay in shape now. And again, no, not me above. Yet!

Booked in with Kayla at the Cambie location, got all my measurements done and weighed in (yikes!), and she set up a routine I can do a couple times a week and trained me up on it all within the hour. I’ll check back with her in a month.

Circuit 1 is 3 X 10 per leg step ups, 3 X 25 pushups (knees for know), 3 X 15 kettlebell deadlifts.

Circuit 2 is 3 X 12 high rows, 3 X 10 per leg reverse lunges and 3 X 10 Kettlebell presses.

I finished it up with a 30 minutes aggressive walking/jogging on a treadmill and that was it for the session. Each week I’m going to attempt to try something different and share with you. How about some indoor cycling for week 2?
