Happy Tuesday! Something happened today that has not happened in literally years for me... I taught two classes in one day, and loved it! The fresh air, the dedication, the smiles, and of course, the high fives at the end! Awesome.  We had our weekly "Lunchtime Boot Camp" today instead of the typical Wednesday session because of a conflict and then the Get Fit for United Way program kicked off today. I was approached to collaborate with another fitness instructor on creating a program to raise funds for the great cause of United Way. We have just begun a 6 week session where all registrants take part in Tuesday outdoor, river valley boot-camp style class and Thursday Buns n' Bellies style indoor class! We sold out of spots and are very excited about this initiative! Here are the two workouts from today!  Partners and Bands partner up. one or two resistance bands required for certain exercises.  all exercises are for one minute.  Set #1 1) Jumping Jacks 2) Partner Sta...

What a beautiful day it was to enjoy the outdoors, or at least for some time during lunch break! We had the biggest group out yet with 14 participants!! Awesome! I tweaked the "Perfect 10" workout with a few different exercises, put everyone in groups of 3 or 4 and they rotated through the exercises, sharing a resistance band. The smaller groups seemed to work great, as they were able to visit (between breaths) as they exercised, and then just waited for the time to switch exercises.  Here it is... Even More Perfect 10 each exercise for one minute. repeat entire sequence twice through. Reverse Lunges Resistance Band Wide Rows Burpies Full Sit-Ups one minute rest Side Lunges Resistance Band Biceps Curls Mountain Climbers Bicycles one minute rest Push-Ups Resistance Band Low Squat Side Steps Triceps Dips Plank Enjoy!
