Pilates & Barre with Deirdra

Devastated to read the news about the horrific bus accident in the Hunter Valley. I was particularly heartbroken to recognise the face of someone who had been one of my Pilates clients and who arranged for me to lead the Singleton Roosters AFC teams through a Pilates circuit workout as something different to their normal training.

Lynan Scott and her husband were both so great to work with - and they were clearly so well respected as much for their positive attitudes (her smile was contagious!) as much as their work ethic.

I don’t do it for the recognition.
I do it to help people.
I do it because I enjoy it.
And I do it because it gives me a mental break as well.

Some days we work out. 💪🏻
Other days we eat CHOCOLATE Hot Cross Buns! 🤤
And some days we do both. 😉 🐰

He clearly needs some expert barre advice! 😉

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had to ask for the press gallery's help mid-press conference to announce Australia-wide shutdowns, including "barre".
