It’s the only place in Dubai that I have found.. so far.. that does a gymnastics class for adults. It’s Sham’s Gymnastics, and yes, I am their first client and it was my first lesson today. I am NAKERD!!!
We started out with some floor work and moved on to crash mat hand springs and the parallel bars. I soon learned you need stamina and some big shoulder muscles for gymnastics.
It’s great for the muscular endurance and my flexibility will definetly benefit – all that pain will soon pay off, I’m confident 
It’s never to late, that’s what I say. So ok, it may feel a little to late, but naah, better late than never. I’ll never be world class, but it’s some of the best and most enjoyable exercise I’ve ever had.
Until next class…

Well Christmas has come and gone and I’m at least 2kgs heavier!
I’ve been very lazy over the last month and it’s a mental battle to get back into the gym; there’s so much else I’ve still got to catch up with workwise (I’ve been lazy there too) but if I keep putting it off it’ll never happen. So it’s time to start thinking about this years fitness objectives.
It’s a great idea to pen-out in concrete terms some specific objectives, something tangible, realistic, measurable, and very importantly, achievable. The last thing you want to do is fail or lose interest so make sure it’s not too outrageous. Where do want be in another years time and what do you want to achieve in this wonderful new year? For example, I want to decrease body fat to 17% by the end of 2010
Once you figure it out, you might want to go all the way and write it up as a contract with yourself. Print it out, sign and date it, and frame it somewhere prominent to remind you of your objectives. A contract is not set in stone remember, if you find you’re under achieving, review the contract, renegotiate the deal, and update it!
Good luck for 2010…
