Work-Outs
I am my best with work-outs during the weekend. I usually do 3-4 hours on Saturday and 2-3 hours on Sunday. This weekend was intense. It almost seemed like all of the trainers and instructors were on a high energy boost.
Saturday
I started with ROAR where I worked up a sweat within the first 15 minutes. I took a break during my weight watchers meeting where I was uncomfortably drenched in sweat. Lucky for me I packed extra work-out clothes for an outfit change.Driving to boxing re-energizes me as I play my loud beats. I'm ready to BOX. An hour of drills, sparring, bag punching, punching techniques, abs and footwork.
I was beat but it was time to do the Yoga Flow class. They have more advanced poses than what I'm used to and I broke a sweat within the first 20 minutes. I did it!

Sunday
ROAR was even more intense. Anthony set up stations so close together that there was no down time. I usually use the time I walk from one end of the studio to the other to catch my breath. NOT TODAY.BOXING was also no joke. A trial for a new instructor means that instructor brought a strict game plan to make sure we all worked hard. I FELT BEAT.
I wanted to go for a hike or a walk in the afternoon but after a small outing to the mall I was ready to head home and relax. Everything in my body ached and I just wanted to rest.
Monday
My day counter on the top of the screen reminded me to keep pushing for the first benchmark. I also thought active recovery would do the body good. I knew I had a pole class but my cousin Paola pushed me for a walking venture. I walked from my house and up the HILL. The HILL has a good incline and I thought it was going to be a lot harder. I figured I would take my breaks if I needed. I talked to myself and focused on the trees. I kept telling myself to take it to the next tree until I finally made it to the top without stopping! YES! This is a HUGE accomplishment and now I cannot wait to make this walk a part of my normal routine. The goal is to eventually run up the HILL.Pole class was cancelled so I was super-duper glad Paola made me walk. YAY!
Tuesday
Today I will do some strength training and YOGA.To feeling victorious!
