Bio:

Lucy taught her first classes, when she was in her late teens, for college students whilst dancing as a hobby at the Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden. However, she rejected a career in fitness, in favour of an artistic career and went on to become an animator and graphic designer for TV.  It was only later in life that she finally came back to dance and fitness, qualified as a teacher and then as a Personal Trainer. She now runs her own successful business the Body Fitness Company and has joined forces with ThinQ Fitness to become their Fitness Director and one of their fitness presenters.

Lucy is passionate about dance and fitness and believes strongly that it should be accessible to everyone.

Join Lucy in the blog to find out a bit about her eating habits as a busy working mum.

Lucy’s Tips:

 

  • Don’t spend hours in the gym working half-heartedly; work for shorter periods but at a higher intensity.
  • Every morning do 25 press-ups, 50 curls, 50 reverse curls and 60 oblique twists, whatever else happens that day, you will know you have done your abs!!!
  • Avoid all white flour foods.

 

 

Classes Available: West London GB
Specialist Areas: Bridal Fitness, Obesity Fitness and Reduction, Presenting, Coaching
Proudest Moments: MA (RCA), BA Hons (Middlesex Polytechnic), Fitness Director ThinQ Fitness, Director The Body Fitness Company, Presenting for ThinQ Fitness, my four children.

Description

Join Lucy in part 1 of a gentle introduction to fitness video that spans 6 session.

 

This course aims to teach you all the basic steps found in our general workout video classes.

 

It will also enable a new member to build up a degree of fitness prior to doing standard length classes. This gentle immersion course is fun and Lucy's simple, friendly instruction will keep you motivated and wanting to come back for more.

 

The recommendation for this 20 minute exercise session is to try and complete it 5 times during week one before moving on to week two. This enables the body to begin processes which will ensure development towards being fitter will occur.

 

So if you are a beginner to fitness, or exercise in general you are in the right place.

 

Equipment:

 

Water, towel and light weights.

Steve, only a small number of our videos are available as downloads as our music license means that we can only stream videos. However, this video is available on iTunes, go to the iTunes store and search for ThinQ Fitness and you will find the video there. Lucy

Hi Poppy, once you have had you post natal six week all clear from your Dr then you can start gently exercising. It may be best to do one of our post natal classes for a few weeks, Anna does a great course, and then, when stronger join us on The Introduction To Fitness Course. Good Luck!!! LC FD

Hi Lucy, is this suitable for someone who has just had a baby and not exercised for a long time?

Hi Steve,

 

thank you for your comment and I am so pleased you are finding these sessions useful.

 

You dont say what your age and weight is, but in general terms you want to feel you are working hard for a period of around 20-25mins and then as you get fitter and your stamina improves you will want longer sessions. It is great you kiddie is encouraging you and I would suggest that you stick with three a week but after say 3-4 weeks move on to different classes.

 

Based on reading your comment I am going to commission a mens beg conditioning class which should be with you in a month or so as we are having a mens awareness month and I feel it vital that men are catered for in terms which they can relate to easily. The High BMI stuff is worth a read (in the lifestlye section articles 1-8) and if you would like to purchase the food box to help teach you about portion control and baseline, simple nutrition then please feel free to follow the link to my own site info@bodyfitco.com where you can purchse a box.

 

Hope this helps. Lucy Case Fitness Director

Hi Lucy, I am enjoying your inroductry fitness workout though I can only manage two or three practice of each session per week. I find myself getting fit enough to consider a complete set of the six sessions will be more than adequate excercise for my age and weight. Will it be posiible to purchase the video Cd or DVD for use at home or at work? Keep up the thoroughly enjoyable, though sometimes tasking sessions. My 5 yr old kid loves joining in and has become my trainer, always reminding me to do my exercise. Steve

Hi Lucy, I wrote to you in another section, I hope it is all right to write to you here, I am new at all this and at 51 not the brightest computer user in the world!! I just wanted to give sincerest thanks for this class and to say it is literally becoming the focus and highlight of my day. It is paced beautifully and you seem to know just the right point to move us on or stop because it is hurting. Thank you. Z. Daly

Hi Susy, Good to hear from you and glad you are enjoying Intro Fit. If you feel you understand the moves and are not out of breathe at all I think you should go on to the next session. This works you slightly harder. You want to feel you are learning the moves and achieving a comfortable workload. Do Into Fit 2 a couple of times and again, if you feel you are able to, move on to the next one. Most people find that by Intro fit 3 or 4 they are achieving a level of work which challenges them but doesnt leave them wiped out for the day, inother words, eager to come back the next day. Before you know it your fitness levels will be up and you will be able to choose from so many classes. Please Suzy, tell your friends about our site as we want to help as many people as possible. Lucy Case Fitness Director

Hi Lucy, thank you very much, I enjoyed your first introduction a lot.I'm very happy I found a way to make exercise without going out of the house.Now I would like to ask: I'm not completely new to fitness, the only problem I used to work on that and have long pause and then again.I felt good with your first introduction but it was not hard at all to me.Do I need to jump to the second part or anyway is better for me to do the first five days and than next week I'll start the second part? Thank you very much, you are great!! Susy

Hi Shazia, Thank you for writing in and I am so pleased you are finding this course useful. Let me know how you get on with the next video, there are lots more to help you through this transition phase of being totally new to really managing a whole workout. Good for you too with the wee one, yes it is hard to get out there and exercise and the prices of gyms are not cheap once you add the creche costs in. tell your friends and a big hello from the ThinQ Fitness team to ya.....Lucy

I have already completed my first week and must say that I really am enjoying it! It's really hard to find time to go to the gym having a two year old and working full time!! It's a fantastic web site especially for working mums or people who don't have time to go to the gym. Now I have no excuse for not doing any exercise!! I have to say Lucy you are great and really motivating!!

Hi Lucy My 8 year old son introduced me to this site and we absolutely love it!! We have done your beginner workout together twice now and can't wait to do it again tomorrow. My son said it's almost like you are in the room with us - which is nice - like having a personal trainer! I'm going to tell everyone I know about it. Thank you. Emma

Had a go and really enjoyed it. You realise that Lucy really knows her stuff because she knew exactly when I felt tired and my arms ached and it was great for an instructor to convey that. Lovely and cheerful too which comes across in the workouts. Will certainly keep going.

Hello,I am so pleased to say that I have now just completed Intro Fit 1. I have noticed feeling more fit already as when I took doggy out for his morning walk today it felt easier.I felt more energetic and lighter. I cannot fault this program in the slightest. Lucy you are so motivating and fun to workout with and most importantly for me is your not patronizing. You are so aware and sensitive to those of us that have no aerobic workout experience and you definately make me feel that I can accomplish that. I got comfortable with the routine by the end of it and I am looking forward to the next level even though it will be tough but there is 5 days to learn and develop and get used to it. I am so looking forward to it!! Peace,joy and good health to you all, and have a great night, Caroline
