Fitness Archives - Crazy With Twins

Bunny has been doing acro gymnastics for six years now and has been lucky enough to start doing acro gymnastics competitions around this time last year. She has won a medal in all but one competition, that she has taken part in since (including some gold’s). In September last year, she got invited to start […]

I recently decided to take up running again. I used to run before I got pregnant with Baby Bear. It started when I ran Race for Life and then I carried on from there until I was running 8 miles a few times a week. I also used a few different online fitness trainers on […]

At the weekend, Bunny performed at her second gymnastics competition. She does a yearly competition against members of her own club, but this was only her second competition against other clubs. We travelled down to Dorset for the competition and managed to combine it with a trip to see family and friends, which was really […]

Since having Baby Bear, I’ve wanted to shift the baby weight I gained during pregnancy. I gained a stone and I really wasn’t keen on that extra stone. None of my pre-baby clothes fit and I just didn’t feel like me. My mum came to visit me and pointed out how much weight I’d gained. I […]

Last week, the twins had their first ever school sports day (it was also Bunny’s sports day as she goes to the same school). It started with the parents being invited in for a picnic with the children, which was lovely. Sports day was very different to any I’ve known before. There were none of […]

I’ve never been great at the whole eye-and-hand coordination thing, but I remember in high school, one of the few sports I could actually hit the ball in, was tennis. So, last year, when I heard about the Great British Tennis Weekend (GBTW), I thought I’d check it out. My family and I visited […]

The baby, child and parenting experts Kiddicare are keen to do more for new mums, so they teamed up with some great experts to bring together that thing that so many people ignore – postnatal fitness. Together with Instructor Live and Kimberly Wyatt of the Pussycat Dolls, they put on a fab event for some […]

A few weeks ago, myself and a team of five other ladies met at Cheltenham racecourse on a hot sunny day and ran a five kilometre muddy obstacle course for Cancer Research UK. We called ourselves the Fast Food Fighters, because we were all unfit and we all eat far too much takeaway food, but we wanted to […]

Tomorrow I am running the Pretty Muddy 5km race for Cancer Research. Sounds easy right? It’s only 5k… *coughs* No. When you are as SERIOUSLY unfit as I am, 5km may as well be a marathon. THIS is what it feels like to run, what it feels like to train, when you are me […]
