Workouts over the break

I hope you are all enjoying time with your family during the break.

If you left early and have any questions about the workout plan, I would be more than happy to explain it to you.

So...I've been taking different classes each day with my sister in-law to get new ideas to bring into boot camp, see what equipment I want to order, and ways I can improve my teaching by evaluating what I like and don't like with other instructors.

I took a ballet tone class to get new ideas for non-weight bearing leg exercises for all the ladies with knee issues and who doesn't just love a ballerina's long lean body. If you are in my class, you would have just died to know that the workout was to Enya and the reps were about 4. I really had to slow it down. Only burned 100 calories!

Ballast class- was the best combination of cardio and strength training again burning the most calories. So excited they used the weighted physio ball, which is just amazing. I did not use it in this round of classes, but I will have to blow mine up for the Jan. class- I forgot how much I love it. It is good because you can sit on the ball and stand up an it will still be right under you- great for the Del Mar class, so the balls aren't rolling into the ocean when the wind picks up.

Kickboxing- If you are also in my class, you could imagine what I was thinking when the instructor arrived 10 minutes late and then we started about 15 min. late.

Hope you are still fitting in good workouts, doing different activities, burning calories shopping, and finding some time to relax.

I'm finishing up the new journals for the January class- I'm so excited for them to get here are for you to see them.

If you are having a hard time with all the sweets and holiday treats everywhere- make sure you are writing it down to see just how quickly they add up. Be selective about what treats you love and I don't recommend wasting any calories on those you don't. Pay attention to how it affects your energy level - especially when eating healthy foods through out the day.
