Results Ireland

Heyyy!! :)

Here's a blog I did wayy back in February when I did a quick shoot for Results Ireland with Dave from results, Saibh Egan photography and Make-up by Flora. It then joins up with today which was the first day I began training wit Results.Ire.  


4th-Feb-12:
I did a shoot today for Results Ireland with trainer Dave Gallagher, photographer Saibh Egan and Make-up By Flora in the Salthill Hotel (which by the way has the most amazing gym). Had a good day-although I did get a couple of fits of giggles along the way :) 
The shoot was unlike any shoot I had done before... in terms of, firstly, make-up was very plain=natural foundation with only a little blusher and lipgloss, no eye make-up at all except mascara (no fake lashes), also normally, I am a big poser and I flirt away with the camera but this time I had to pretend like I was really working out (although it wasn't too hard because we were a little=those squats were hard to hold at times :p). I was to look over the camera and not directly at it, which was a little different for me, and Dave was in a lot of the pictures as well acting like he was training me and I was responding to his training. With modelling you never stop learning.. every shoot is different-so it was cool to do a fitness themed photoshoot especially because fitness is very important to me so it'll be interesting to see the resulting pictures ;) 


At the beginning I was trying to act fairly 'serious' as I just thought to myself about how I normally look when working out and  the truth is I'm not full of smiles while I'm slaving/sweating away, ha :) but as it went on I learnt that it was ok to throw a few cheesy grins in there and I eased into it a little more.

LMFAO's new song kepttt going around and around in my head, ha, and not because of "I'm sexy and I know it" as a few smartalikes might be thinking ;) but because I-I-I-I-WORKOUT! haha Love that song #SoFunny :)



Dave from ResultsIreland.com is going to be my new trainer when I'm in Galway and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has in store for me... I go to the gym a lot myself but I'm not a professional I just do my own thing so I'm excited to see how my body will improve with his help over the course of a couple of months :) #CantWait :)
Although I think he might be letting himself in for something like this YouTube Video haha :) 



April:
Skip forward to April and I'm now on the front of the Result Ireland studio in the Lisban Industrial estate in Galway.


Tuesday April 17th:
Today was my first day actually training with Dave and I'm delighted to have got the ball rolling: I must admit although fitness is important to me and I go to the gym a lot: I do get stuck in a rut of the same routine and I'm not too sure how to mix it up. I'm not great at doing my own thing with out the help of a machine for example I'd be much more likely to jump on the treadmill rather than do a series of squats etc.. so I know he'll be a great help in that area and weight training etc...


Although I have put on a couple of pounds since Christmas and I'd like to get those off and return to my normal size on time for Summer-the goal for me is not about loosing weight as such but more about toning my legs and just generally being the fittest I can be.. i'm only young once :) haha. 

I'll keep you posted on how I get on :)

Lots of Love
