So very stoked to work with such awesome members and brilliant staff.
If you live near 24fit Goolwa or 24fit Victor Harbor (or any of the other eight 24Fit gyms, check it out!)
Absolutely loved the 5.45am crew’s efforts, then I joined in with Leah and Karen who came to the 6.45 session, and was stoked with the teamwork and energy of the 9am class.
Coaching at Victor on Tuesday, my last classes before I drive off into a new chapter.
In the meantime, wishing every UFF follower a joyful, wonderful Christmas season.
And if you love garage sales (digressing, I know!) come grab a bargain at 2b Goyder St on Sat Dec 27 and Sun Dec 28.)
Much love always 😘

Oh my giddy aunt … I’ve never been this sore. It’s almost funny.
DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is in overdrive with me.
I curse when I have to pick something up off the floor.
Sitting down makes me wince.
I can’t face a leg workout.
I bet we’ve all experienced this.
(The ‘sitting down on the toilet’ struggle!)
I’m aware I took a month off gym life.
I ran, walked heaps, paddled and surfed.
Thsts what holidays are about for me … being active and outdoors!
I returned to the gym on Tuesday with a Pilates class and little circuit.
I had a bit of ouch on Wednesday morning.
Then I did a leg workout with wonderful Jax at 24fit Goolwa and boom!
The lunges got me immediately.
I knew my muscles were working and they’d let me know about it.
So here I am, 48 hours on, and I’m kinda laughing about the state I’m in.
I’m not worried though. It will pass.
Anyone reading this with a similar tale? 😘

Let’s get a headstart on the whole Christmas eating/drinking chats.
There’s zero harm in having a break from usual nutrition.
Enjoy every bit of holiday fun!
If you love wine, beer etc, go for it!
I’m not a big drinker though.
At home, I’ve been buying these and can’t recommend them enough.
There are a few local stockists and you can order online.
Anyone else tried these? 😘

Anyone else loving their Spotify round up? I got a kick seeing my listening age is 28 … that’s knocked 34 years off myself and I kinda like THAT! For the record, my top song was Black As Night by Nahko with Rag’n’Bone Man Human in second spot. Having music in my life serves many purposes. I need it for work: music motivates us as we work out. It keeps me company at home. I love sharing it with those I love … and adore how grandie Ryder shares my taste. And it sure comes into its own on a road trip! I’ll be leaving Melbourne on Monday for the final 800kms back home. Happy Saturday 😘

Today’s chat is about longevity. It’s inspired by my walk around Royal Melbourne Golf Club … and it’s nothing really to do with golf.
Longevity to me means being able to do what we want for as long as possible.
That’s 💯 my goal as I make some big life decisions.
And there will be some weird and wonderful parts of my new chapter … decisions perhaps bold for a woman of my age.
But I say ‘f**k it, let’s go!’
I’m aiming for a long life full of glorious days.
I hope that’s granted.
I’m already aware that at 62, I’m wonderfully blessed to live in a body that allows me to max out every day.
I thank God I’ve loved exercising and nutritious foods, with a healthy mix of lazy days and overdoses of less-healthful goodies.
My big message is to encourage us all to focus on the long game … exercising today isn’t just for now, it’s for our future.
What inspired this message?
Seeing posters of two great golfers who had long careers, winning the same trophies decades apart.
That’s longevity.
That’s testament to taking good care of their bodies, minds and skills.
Thanks for the inspiration Gary Player and Peter Thomson 😘

I’m watching this golf club come to life as it gets ready for the Aus Open. Players are warming up, grounds staff are perfecting the greens and fairways and hospitality crew are setting up. It’s a mega event. Many people who help it come together aren’t paid. They’re the volunteers who do everything from shuttle players, spot where balls land, man the gates and where-to-walk crossings and so much more. Last week in Brizzy, 500 volunteers did their bit. This week, it’ll be a similar number. I’m sure they adore the game and enjoy their stations, but they sure do deserve a big thank you. Over to ‘us’ … do we volunteer? I’m thinking of all our surf lifesavers, op shop crew, cfs volunteers and so on. I bet there’s an army of us, too. A final thought is that while the things we fo help others, it always feels like it’s helping me as I do something, anything, to lend a hand. Everyone wins hey! 😘

My heart right now is full of love for my country.
Yes I was born in England and have such happy memories of my childhood into adulthood there.
But it’s Australia that has my heart.
Yesterday and today I drove from the Sunny Coast to Melbourne.
The 1,990km trip was bliss … the coast, the untouched wilderness, mighty rivers and fabulous little towns.
Every bit was glorious.
I slept in an RV overnighted in Goulburn. On waking, it’s always ‘coffee first.’
I found . It was a tractor/farmer lovers delight with an authentic country vibe. I loved how it was opened a few years ago by a Punjabi farmer-turned-cafe owner who wanted a place for country folk to hang out. It’s honestly worth a look if you are passing.
Onto Gundagai and its tuckerbox, puppy and old (at least old for Aus) buildings. The stories the pubs and motels could tell, some still going, some closed and waiting for Reno. Coffee at The Coffee Pedaler was the best of my trip. There’s so much to see in this big, beautiful land.
I’m promising myself to see as much as I can of it, Arriving in Melbourne was a shock though. The city seems futuristic, compared with those idyllic country towns. It took 20 minutes to travel a few kms but I’m here and looking forward to these last few days of my travels. To everyone at 24fit Goolwa and 24fit Victor Harbor, I’ll see you next week! Sending love from here to you 😘

I take some weird photos. They aren’t artistically crafted. Instead, I snap them to hold memories. These three will forever make me smile, even laugh. The first was seeing Jak, Georgie and Mercy at the lagoon, just chilling, just chatting, just the four of us being together. The second was of my outdoor setting, bought impulsively after a slightly boozy day at the Royal Adelaide Show. I love it! And the third, using the steering wheel lock on my van when I park in Queensland. (My van was once stolen and once bitten …) As I locked the wheel, Georgie couldn’t stop laughing as it reminded her of how my dad had the very same lock and used it every single trip,
Over to you … do you have any odd photos that mean the world to you? 😘 Drum Furniture

There’s something powerful about finding space, about doing nothing.
Sitting, observing, experiencing our surroundings without distractions of people or screens is like medicine to me.
Yesterday, I bought a coffee and sat by the lagoon at Settlement Cove in Redcliffe.
I wrote yesterday’s blog about Park Run.
Then I sat, taking slow breaths, with unfocused eyes, and made space for how I was feeling.
I recognised sadness as I thought about health issues affecting people I love.
Then I felt a quiet happy, knowing I’m lucky to have people I love and who love me.
As I let these feelings in, I watched these two insects and smiled.
I’m not sure if they were playing tag, or one was ‘flirting’.
I realised my thoughts were like these two critters.
Every sad thought was followed by a happy one.
So it doesn’t pay to dwell on the bad bits.
Feeling sad about anything gives us a chance to realise why it affects us.
We can honour the sadness.
We can figure out what to do, how to help those going through stuff, how to support ourselves, basically, whatever it takes.
Bit of a deep message today but I hope it makes sense to you as much as it does to me 😘

THE UNE FEMME FITNESS STORY

You guessed it! I’m the one hanging upside down in the photo.

I picked this photo because I am 100 per cent about living life to the max, having fun and staying fit and healthy.

My name is Cheryl and I have 30 years’ experience in the fitness industry.

All these years later, it still feels like a privilege to help people live their best life. We all need a strong, healthy, mobile body to do all the things we want to do.
