| On X-Training... |
How long have you been X-Training?
First comp was in august 2008
Why do you find X-Training so exciting?
I love the adrenalin it gives you when you are racing your opponent, its hard & it pushes you to the max, i've always wondered how hard i can actually push myself & competing in x training has shown me if you want to win that bad you'll go as far as you need to!
Do you teach X-Training to your clients?
Yes, even my older clients enjoy it, i just have to be careful and adapt things to suit
What are their views on X-Training?
I think its an excellent way of working out, loads of variety & good all round fitness/toning. you can also adapt it to fit in when your short of time so theres no excuse for missing a workout!!
Who has been your biggest influence in X-Training?
I haven't been in x training long enough to have had anyone to influnce me, at the moment my main aim is to be the best i can and start winning trophies!!!
Experiencing the gymxtc in sept 08 has just left me hungry for more!! lol
How often do you train?
I teach 6-8 spinning classes a week but not including them i prob train 4-5 times a week, I now tend to listen to my body if i feel knackered i'll rest.
What is your favourite excerise?
Theres not one exercise i favour as long as i feel totally knackered after a session i'm happy, although i have just started indoor rowing and i'm enjoying that - i'm gonna test myself at the british indoor rowing championships on the 26th oct 08 - i love a challenge!!
What is your favourite food for training?
Don't really have a favourite food??!! I do tend to stick to healthy eating 90% of the time, i do love a nice cold dr pepper after a comp as a little reward!!
What is your ambition in X-Training?
To win!! I'm by no way nasty in anyway but i do love to win & i wanna be the best
What exercise secret would you give a newcomer to X-Training?
Work hard & have loads of fun on the way

Did you excel at sport at school and if yes, what sport?
Yep don't wanna sound big headed but from what Ican remember I was pretty good at most sports we did.
Do you compete in any other sport?
Triathlon & just trying out indoor rowing.
Have you competed in any other sport in the past?
Yes - 2 different styles of karate, trampolining, springboard diving,
How often do you rest?
When my body tells me too, I try to get 2 days rest a week if I don't my training goes down hill, teaching so much spinning I have to be really careful as its very easy for me to over train.
Do you suffer many injuries?
I tend to get a few niggles that just come and go
Have you ever parachuted (sky dived tandem or solo) out of a plane. Would you?
Yes i've done 2 static line jumps & 1 tandem freefall also 10 bungee jumps
