Happy New Year one and all!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year and celebrated the end of the noughties in style!

I have so much to tell you but will try not to make it too long!

Okay FIT CAMPS start on 11thand 12th January 2010 and there are still spaces available so if you want to start the New Year in the best shape of your life you can register for either camp on fit2dropfitcamp.com

My next Hulacise course starts on 16th January 9am. This is a beginners course and we go right from the basics all the way through to a finished routine. It is one of the most effective wait to whip that waistline down and trim those hips, and is great fun too!

The Psychology of Food workshop is on 23rd January 2pm and I am so excited about this workshop. I have done extensive research into the human psyche works in relation to food and how it makes us feel. I will still be covering the basic fundamentals of nutrition and what happens in the body, how the digestive process works and why water is SO important. I will also be showing you how much fat, sugar and salt are in frequently brought goods - when you see it weighed out it is quite shocking! Through the psychology element we will be looking at how and why we use food to make us feel better but then how we are overridden with guilt - why? I will be showing you strategies on how not to do this but also understanding why you do it in the first place - and we all do, me included. I have also researched some of the most commonly used psychological tests so that you can see whether you are actually ready for change and how to go about successful implementing that change according to your personality type. All of these tests are included in a wealth of information that I have compiled for you to take away. If you attended the previous workshop there is lots more to learn from this one.

I am also very excited as I am now ready to launch CLEANSE which stands for Cori's Lean Exercise and Nutritionally Sound Experience. If this is something that would interest you then please email me to register your interest and I will send you the details.

2010 is sure to be a very big year for CW Fitness. I will be bringing in Zumbatomic and Zumba Gold. Zumbatomic is for kids - if this is something that your children would be interested in then please let me know as I am hoping to put on after school classes as well as taking it to schools. With the levels of childhood obesity on the increase this is an effective way to show kids that exercise can be fun, after all, isn't that what it is all about? Zumba Gold is the same music as Zumba but at a slower pace, ideal for those that like to take things a little gentler. The music is as infectious as ever and my energy and enthusiasm will be there as always, just a little calmer!

I have several new websites underway and will keep you posted as they progress. However, CW Fitness and Fit 2 Drop Fit Camp are still the main sites so you won't miss out on anything as long as you get the newsletter!

I am also launching an online shop, this has been a work in progress for several weeks and it still has a few weeks to go but once it is up and running you will be able to purchase exercise equipment such as mats, weights fit balls and more as well as a comprehensive range of Zumba clothing as well as my own CW Fitness and Fit 2 Drop Fit Camp tops. I have made sure that all of the merchandise is of the highest quality and have kept it competitively priced so that you know you are getting the best deal.

Two more important bits! I have been asked to do Zumba demonstrations this year so if this is something that you would like to be a part of please email me and I will compile a list and let you know when and where - dates are all to be confirmed at the moment!

I also need to draw your attention to the fact that I have put up my rates. Classes remain the same but my personal training rates have gone up to £35 per session and nutritional consultations are now £25 per session. These increases reflect the time and money I have spent in ensuring my knowledge is up to date and being current with relevant training so that you get the most benefit from my services.

Okay - now for the really important stuff - YOU - so I hope you are still with me! New Year is a notorious time for resolutions, I want you to make me a promise: only make resolutions that you can actually keep - radical concept!!! Remain positive all the time and turn every negative into a positive. Set goals and targets that are specific and measurable but most importantly achievable. There is no point setting a target to play in the National Philharmonic if you are tone deaf! Make, dozens, hundreds, thousands of changes if you like but only ever three at a time. Only add more changes when you have successfully implemented the current three. That way it forces you to focus on those changes and succeed. Remember to keep those changes small, this helps to keep you positive and reinforces how incredible you are at managing to change yourself. You are amazing - never forget that.

If you are sitting there thinking you need at least one resolution how about the one below - read last week's blog if you need a reminder!

MAKE IT COUNT!
