Working Out In “The Compound”

Emily, Grady, Sean & I after a workoutThe most awesome thing about staying in Darwin for the wet is the wonderful workouts we’re doing. What started as with us finally deciding to get our kettlebells out in order to tighten our growing holidaying gurths, has turned into a group fitness club at our caravan park (aka “The Compound” because most days we don’t even bother to venture out of it).

Our session this morning had 7 people. I had set up 8 stations with different exercises and we all rotated around them twice. A nice workout, and my legs are feeling it now. This has inspired others to also run sessions. Anne is running an Aquaerobics session tomorrow arvo and Julie is running a fantastic yoga session on Friday arvo. Julie is a Canadian yoga instructor who specialises in “hot yoga”. Yoga you do in specially designed 40 degree 50% humidity studios. Darwin’s afternoons are pretty damn close to this so we do it sitting under the trees out in the caravan park. Julie ran a session yesterday and we were all blissed out by the end of it. Divine! I could get addicted to it.

So the schedule so far is Tue, Thur, Sat we do my kettlebell circuits. Wed we do Aquaerobics. Friday we do Yoga. Sunday is our designated rest day so have to think of something for Monday and we’re done. Maybe a run/walk around the park or another Yoga session. oooommmm!
