Poetic licence – perhaps! At my regular gym workout with an awesome personal trainer, I puffed my way up the stairs to the fourth floor trying to keep up with Courtney. When we got there, I couldn’t read the look on her face then she said: “Maybe we shouldn’t be here, the All Blacks are training.” I looked around and then I knew it was true – there was Richie McCaw!! Wow, he and the team look so much bigger in real life than when they are being televised on a rugby field. I did my best not to look and intrude on their personal space, but it didn’t work that well. Had to get on with it then and off to the rowing machine – with Richie McCaw a few steps away, I have never rowed so hard in all my life. I smashed the 400 metres. Those guys are a real inspiration!
Now the dead lifts – technique is everything here to prevent injury. Here I was being pushed hard by Cadence and giving it my all when Keven Mealamu walked by and commented on my excellent technique. “Better than ours”. Yeah right!! But I was stoked. Then he said I was doing an awesome job with my workout. Well, well, well, I was more than stoked – speechless!!
I guess it’s easy to tell who is an All Black fan! And now, especially a fan of Keven Mealamu.
Here is a comment and clip taken by Courtney when I first started dead-lifts: “Cheryl is one of my awesome clients with a bad-ass attitude. Today was her first time doing deadlifts & she nailed it to say the least. Big things to come from this one! Proud of you Cheryl, keep up the good work 🙂
