After weeks of insults and ‘mickey’ taking I suppose it had to come. This week was pay back time.
Six victims, three ‘boys', three 'girls’. Yes, undeterred the new girls returned for more punishment. Same set up, but with the addition of Pete’s new box! Of course there were very predictable jokes about it. 'It’s not finished yet', he rebuked. I am not sure which bit isn't finished but there are two more, each one higher than the last.

Warm up. Select your starting point. Jogging on the spot…..this went on and on and on! 'This is fun' - Pete springs widely from foot to foot - 'let’s spent 45 minutes jogging'!!!! We didn’t.
Six pieces of equipment followed by 30 second jogging after each, 'This is your recovery'. Pete’s mantra. 'Breath in through your nose, out through your mouth, you haven’t got long', he bellows. Long? long for what? We were jogging to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, so perhaps we were morphing into zombies!
'Have you got concrete feet? light on your toes, come on, push, push, push, push'. I used to say that when I was a midwife…. but in quite a different context!
Then spotty dogs, star jumps, (have you noticed how hard star jumps are on the knees?), pistol squats, mountain climbs - 'Long legs, stretch those legs'. By the end Pete was taking requests! 'Burpees!' shouts Dave; remind me to have a word before next week’s session!
The last activity, for 50 seconds (we were told it was going to be 40). I've said before his timing is dodgy. Then finish, followed by cool down and lots of stretching to make walking the following day seem more natural.
His parting shot: 'Amanda’s got new trainers', Pete gleefully tells the group (actually I wasn't wearing them at the time), 'They’re pink, from Sports Direct and C**P'.
I admit, I have to agree with his assessment but PINK!!!!!!!!
