GM-Fitness On A Fitness Journey 2013
Good Afternoon Guys..It Has been a few weeks since I have blogged On Blogger, Busy Times, But hey I am here today.
Today I would like to share with you..Our Own personal training and explain how our progress is going..The last few weeks for US has been Completely life changing, As I entered my Fist Bikini Fitness show 8 weeks ago and my gosh I personally have never experienced nerves like that ever in my life, Wow what a total Eye opener.
Prep Leading up to the first competition was not as good as it could of been, Actually quite frankly it was 50% and that was purely on my behalf, So what that taught me, is if you enter something you give it your all.
We Didn't place in the show, And As you can imagine as I am human that really did wake me up.. Bang! Lesson Learnt.
Very Mixed feelings the next day..But guess what you always get up and come back stronger!
So for all you people out there who hit that wall at times, It is only you that can get back up and fight your way forward to a fitter you!
We are now 7 weeks in to a new training program, Which consists of 6 days on one day off, Backed by very good nutrition .Not a meal to be missed or shake to be missed.
Training is awesome at this moment in time having a focus is always key to helping you get through fitness sessions with GM-Fitness.. I have personally been close to tears in the last few weeks as some sessions are totally horrid. But that feeling at the end of the session is totally worth the pain which last so much shorter than the benefits WHICH will be reaped!
Gains So far in 7 weeks 7 pounds.. Very Very Happy.
So guys I hope you continue to train hard eat clean, Focus on your goal and remember you get out what you give in!
Join GM-Fitness We are as dedicated To Training As you are to..................!

GM-Fitness How Exercise And Clean Eating Is Changing My Life!
Have You Ever Felt like you have hit a Brick wall?
Or another Words Have you Only Given 50% Of what it takes to achieve what you are out to get?
Exercise And Nutrition My Friends Is not A fad, As We GM-Fitness Have stated So many times before both exercise and Nutrition is a lifestyle Change!
If you only Give 10% Then what is it you will receive back?
But If you can commit to the lifestyle change then my friends we assure you The positive benefits that you will reap from exercise and eating right will totally weigh out all the junk food you previously liked to consume.
Health is about what is going on inside the body as well as on the outside.. So take some time and think about what it is you give your body most days to Digest.
Surely You Live in one body So you want to treat that body well...True?
I am not saying You Can not have certain Products What I am Saying is think before you consume those products, think about the effects tomorrow it will have on your body.
Eating and exercise go hand in hand. When and what you eat can be important to how you feel when you exercise, whether it's a casual workout or a serious athletic competition.

Week 9 not long now.
Monday off so a short week
Tuesday
Session with Gareth, upper body and some tough exercises
Wednesday
Legs today alternating between weights and bikes
Thursday
Another session with Gareth and upper body again
Friday
Never thought I'd be begging to do legs, well we did and not sure if it was a good idea
Saturday
Final day of the week training and I am knackered!! But managed to get through it with a final run the length of Roath Park rec with my tail intact!!!
Great week into double figures next week - number 10 - bring it on
Week 10, been totally focused on training and now a month of Rock n Roll......and training of course.
Missed Monday because of work commitments (might have to pack this job in)
Tuesday
A tough session starting with back and then onto legs which left me on my knees at the end. Think that covered of Monday.
Wednesday
Heavy weights in circuits, amazing how few reps and heavy weights shatters you.
Thursday
Really aching today and not sure what I can do but once I got going the aches disappeared and off I went
Friday
Last session of the week and just when I thought I was getting used to this, this last week has left me well and truly aching. Gareth and Mel have left their mark!!!
So Far This challenge has been tough the level seemed to go up but although it was hard I felt I coped quite well and always pushed myself. I've learnt a lot understanding what muscles are working with what exercises, my technique has improved and i'm starting to understand what I can lift also the important part your mind plays and the correct things to eat.
It's certainly true what Mel and Gareth say not sure the physical difference in me but I feel different and feel very good in myself including confidence, positivity and self belief what I can achieve. Not forgetting the fantastic motivation from Mel and Gareth who have pushed me beyond what I thought was possible.

GM-FITNESS WEEK 6...Is exercise changing your life?
GM-FITNESS....IS EXERCISE CHANGING YOUR LIFE YET?
Week 6 With Dave Jones.
Exercise is not just about aerobic capacity and muscle size. Sure, exercise can improve your health and your physique, trim your waistline, improve your sex life, and even add years to your life. But that’s not what motivates most people to stay active. People who exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well–being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. And it doesn’t take hours of pumping weights in a gym or running mile after mile to achieve those results.
GM-Fitness Say By focusing on activities you enjoy and tailoring a regular mild to moderate exercise routine to your needs, you can experience the health benefits of exercise and improve your own life by:
- Easing stress and anxiety. A twenty-minute bike ride won’t sweep away all of life’s troubles, but exercising regularly helps you take charge of anxiety and reduce stress. Aerobic exercise releases hormones that relieve stress and promote a sense of well-being.
- Lifting your mood. Exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant medication. Exercise also releases endorphins, powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good.
- Sharpening brainpower. The same endorphins that make you feel better also help you concentrate and feel mentally sharp for tasks at hand. Exercise also stimulates the growth of new brain cells and helps prevent age-related decline.
- Improving self-esteem. Regular activity is an investment in your mind, body, and soul. When it becomes habit, it can foster your sense of self-worth and make you feel strong and powerful.
- Boosting energy. Increasing your heart rate several times a week will give you more get-up-and-go. Start off with just a few minutes of exercise a day, and increase your workout as you feel more energized.
If the above has all these benefits then why arent you exercising with GM-Fitness yet?
Tuesday
Here we go week 6, although a short week I've got this feeling it'll still be tough. Session outside today in the sun. Amazing what you can do with a couple of kettlebells. These exercises recently are making my posture feel a lot better and more natural. Tough session as always and early to bed.
Wednesday
Chest with heavy weights today good session.
Thursday
Session was mainly upper body with the leg press thrown in. When I push that leg press it feels my whole body is going to explode but it's amazing what you can achieve. I did suffer some distress at the end, Mel's parting comment was ' be prepared for tomorrow it's going to be tough' - UHH - so what's the last 5 weeks been, easy!!! Roll on Saturday.
Friday
Tough session but not as bad as I had convinced myself. I managed to crawl out of the gym quite nicely.
Free weekend to recover and have been promised 2 sessions of legs for week 7. Mel is so good to me, she spoils me!!!
Hope you are enyoying following Dave Jones on his GM-Fitness Fitness Journey.. Fitness for Dave is not a FAD but now part of his LIFESTYLE!

Week 2
Monday woke up a little tired as went to bed late the night before, and aching from Sunday’s pt session. Had scrambled egg on wholemeal toast for breakfast and a cup of green tea, lunch I had lean mince beef with mushrooms, carrots and onions and I flavoured it with paprika, turmeric and curry powder it turned out to be really tasty. I had a banana and a Satsuma for snack today, felt really weird not being in work as I am on my holidays. Went to bikini fitness tonight and it was a really good work out we focused on our abs had my shake on the way home and when I got in I had some carrots with low fat humus.
Tuesday woke up and I was so tired had another late night last night, am still aching today particularly my shoulders. Had two pieces of wholemeal toast for breakfast, chicken stir-fry for lunch which I made from scratch. I went for a lovely swim today to try and help with my aching muscles so I did a lot of stretching during my swim I could hear Mel in my head saying shoulders back tummy pulled in, and this is how I walked around the pool. After my swim I went and visited my sister-in-law and baby Jacob. After that I went to pick up Joe from work and went straight to PT session. Joe and I really pushed ourselves tonight and had a really good work out. Had my xxo shake on the way to visit my friend, didn't get in till late so had quick bite to eat I made a chicken sandwich with wholemeal bread and with pickled beetroot and pickled red cabbage.
Wednesday woke up and OMG all under my right arm is so achy which I suppose means I have worked really had. Had two hard boiled eggs for breakfast with a cup of green tea. Had a really good day today took my niece and here friend down to the Gower so she could take photo’s for her college project. Although the weather was miserable it was still lovely to get away from Cardiff for a couple of hours. Had a really relaxing evening for tea I cooked chicken and added mushrooms with roasted vegetable light Philadelphia, we had mixed veg with it.
Thursday woke up to take Joe to work this morning I was so tired and still aching all over. After taking Joe to work I came back and had breakfast which was porridge with a little honey. I had a bit of a lazy morning and then I went to meet Joe for lunch we both had a jacket potato with cottage cheese with chives, it was really nice and feeling. After Joe had gone back to work and went and had a little look around the shops and I picked up some tops for Joe's birthday. I went home and I started to cook tea, which was lean mincemeat with leeks, mushrooms, carrots, red peppers and two tins of chopped tomatoes I also add a vegetable Oxo cube as well as a chicken one some garlic granules and mixed herbs. I served this with sugar snap peas and baby corn. Bikini was good tonight but I felt I didn't give it my all as I was wearing a different sports bra and I felt I was going to pop out of it while doing the exercises. Xxo was drunk on the way home.
Friday got up and took Joe to work and went straight back home and went back to sleep I was really tired this morning. When I woke up I had wholemeal toast, didn't do much during the day had a lazy one. I go and pick Joe up from work and we go straight to our PT session with Gareth, I really enjoyed tonight’s session as we did spin with weights and I managed to do it with 8kg weights which Gareth and Joe seemed surprised about. We went on to do sprints on the tread mill which again I really enjoyed.
Saturday had a little lie in and I took Joe to his swimathone which he did really in, we had boiled eggs for breakfast, and for lunch after the swimathone we had a mixed salad with chicken and fruit salad and yoghurt, this was really filling and satisfying we then went to my parents I took a walk down my sister’s house as I wanted to get some fresh air. Saturday night went to visit my sister-in-law and then I took Joe for a birthday meal.
Sunday woke up and it was Joe’s birthday had a lovely lie in and had scrambled egg on wholemeal toast, we then went to church and then to our PT session with Gareth as Joe’s legs were sore from the swimathone on Saturday we asked if we could work our upper body and abs. had lots of fun and really enjoyed the tyre flipping at the end of the session. For lunch today I had a roast lamb dinner made by my dad, which was so tasty. As a little treat to Joe for his birthday we went to Starbucks on the way home.
GM-Fitness are really happy with Michelles training at present she always attends every session and gives it her all.. Can you say the same?
Week 3
Monday woke up this morning a little nervous because it was my first 2 week weigh-in of the 12 week training programme. I had wholemeal toast for breakfast, and went straight to work. Had ryvita and soup for lunch and a banana and 2 Satsuma’s for snack. Went home after work and had tea before training which was tuna steak, mixed steam veg spinach and sweet potato. Once I got to training I got weighed which I stayed the same I then got measured and was really pleased with the results as I had lost an inch and a half off my hips and an inch off my waist. Had a good training session did a variety of exercises such as high knees, star jumps and skipping. Drank my xxo protein shake on the way home and had an early night as I was really tired.
Tuesday PT session day had hard boiled eggs for breakfast, and in training we did spin and boxing which was fun. Had salad for lunch followed by fruit salad and yoghurt, which was really nice. Had my xxo protein shake on the way home and just chilled out before going to bed.
Wednesday thank god it is rest day. Started to get really tired this week so was really glad it was my rest day, had scrambled egg for breakfast and off to work I went. Had lasagne for lunch and managed to get home from work at a reasonable hour, we had philli beef strips with mushrooms for tea. After tea I fell asleep on the sofa and was so tired Joe couldn’t wake me up to go up to bed.
Thursday its bikini day today really enjoy these classes and I feel I am starting to push myself in these classes as I know I need to. Went to training straight from work to bikini and had a good session of running, lunges, side to side jumping, push-ups and planks. Had my protein shake on the way home and for tea had beef strips with Mexican rice.
Friday woke up at about 5am as I had a training session at 6.30am with Gareth; Seemed ok this morning was fully awake and ready to go. Had two boiled eggs and a green tea and off we went for out PT session. Trained really hard, did treadmill then about 40 mins of spin and then we did the prowler and sprints at the end it was a really good session. Had salad for lunch followed by fruit salad which I really enjoyed. Went straight out from work and meet Joe in town as it was Ian’s birthday get together, was really bad as I had a big mac from McDonalds for tea.
Saturday was meant to train at outfit today but I just couldn’t seem to wake up, my husband and I are really starting to feel the pain now. I had a really lazy day as I have felt drained and quite weak. I had wholemeal toast for breakfast, didn’t have this till about midday so had a later lunch and a later tea. Lunch was chicken tikkia rolls and tea was a curry from the Indian. Really aching all over especially my knees.
Next week my goal is to keep my eating totally clean and healthy, and to keep pushing myself in training session I am determined to have lost some weight at my next weight-in as well as lost some more inches
