I was sent two products for review however they didn’t fit my interest so I have no personal experience with them BUT I did ask them if I could do a giveaway of the products on my blog so that those of you who might have interest could enter to win them.  They loved the idea!

A Total Wash

Gaiam.com, IncThis week was nothing to write home about so I’m going to make it short and sweet and move on!  Here is my ONE lonely workout for the week. 

And for those that don’t know, I had pulled something in my groin which in turn made my already bad knee worse.  I’m feeling better now but still need to stay accountable with my workouts so here you go.

Don’t laugh too hard.

Fun times with Yogalates and Spin

So you all know by now that we were pretty bummed out and quite upset that the fitness center we belong to canceled two of the four spin classes we go to every week with no notice.  We were offered a discount and were told we could use the room and spin bikes when the room is empty.  We wanted to try it out last night to see how it might work out for us and although it wasn’t the same as a normal class it was OK. I asked if we could use the sound system to have music but that was not permitted but they did say I could bring in my own ipod player to have music in the room.

I did do a little research early yesterday to see what music that I have in itunes that might work for my own ride so I was able to put together a quick play list for about a  50 minute ride.  I even broke the songs down in to Warm Up, Climbing, Sprinting, Jumps and Single Leg Leads.  I rocked it and burned 600 calories WOW!  I was one sweaty beast LOL

Here is the quickie play list I put together:

Warm Up

-When I Grow Up 4:05

Climbing

-Pocketful of Sunshine 3:23
-Poker Face 3:57
-Disturbia 3:59
-Glamorous 4:07
-The Way I Are 2:59

Sprinting

-It’s Raining Men 5:26
-Don’t Stop the Music 4:27

Lifts/Jumps

-Jai Ho 3:42
-Hips Don’t Lie 3:41

Leads/Single Leg

-Just Dance 4:02

Cool Down

-I’m Yours 4:03
-Soulmate 3:34 (didn’t have time for this song)

I’ll be taking the ipod player on Sunday and Monday so we have the play list and Kev can spin to it as well (and anyone else who shows up too).  There were 4 of us who came in the room to spin on our own last night.  I think I will do some more research and put together a few different play lists we can swap out each Sun. and Mon.  If you have any suggestions for music or spinning certification info, please feel free to leave a comment.  I would really appreciate any help.

Talked to Kev last night about possibly getting our spin certification so we can teach a couples spin class at our favorite Couples resort when we go to Jamaica.  We’ll see…but I think that would be a blast.

There was a yogalates (yoga/pilates) class after spinning and I decided Kev gave me the nudge to stay for it since there would have been only one other person in the class (a guy).  It was fun and gave me a little taste of what yoga and pilates is as I had never done either before.  The instructor said I did well phew!  I think pilates would be more my style than yoga but you never know.

I’m off to see what other play lists I can come up with!
