I love a great workout.  Sometimes instructors get caught in a rut.  I really try and mix it up for my two groups with my Body Chizel.  Well, I bought a new DVD from Cathe.  I have several of her Step Dvd’s and other Dvd’s like the Core Max and something else I can’t seem to remember.  Anyhow, she is right up there with Mindy Mylrea.  Both of them have just gone off the deep end I tell you.  Anyhow, I purchased this awesome DVD that targets the upper body and the lower body in two different segments.  I wanted to really get these ladies shakin up.  Try out some different exercises.  Well, we really started kind of light in my opinion but I did give them that option so that I hoped they would be sore but not too sore and they could gage on where they are at.  That did the trick. 

You know, why is it that when you as an instructor really want to change things up, that all of a sudden you have a wave of new people trying out the class.  Well, I surely did not have a wave of new people, more like one person decided to come on leg day.  What?  Well, hang in there honey, we are doing this routine anyhow. 

I have told you a little bit about me starting up my Power 90X system again. Well, I will get to that later on this week after I finish week one.  Anyhow, I have been trying to fit this in with all the classes I teach.  I have to tell you though, my legs are going to not work for me in the morning. I have this feelin in them, usually I get this feeling after a great leg workout.  You know I have not had one of these in a while.  Well, I take that back, I remember now, when we were on the Corpus Christi family vacation, I seemed to have a problem with them then.  Well then, I have a feeling it is going to be worse, because I did not have this feeling back then and they hurt like crazy when I was trying to walk down the steps.

Back to the class.  I managed to let them know that I was doing a double duty and that what I am using do not gage on what they should be using because I will have to teach this format again later in the evening. You know my class has managed to call Mondays, Moaning Mondays and Wednesday is Whining Wednesday and they were doing that today.  I love to hear them Whine.  We all were whining today i have to say.  I had them even counting down, how great it that.  i just love those ladies.  They are awesome and they look great too.  Some sexy ladies I have.

After all of that, I did manage to get the lady to sign up for classes and she wants to get her daughter to sign up too.  Things are differently getting there and no worries.  The big man upstairs is in total control.  I left everything up to him.  I am just his servant.

Last year I became a Million Dollar Body Coach.  Why? Well, the are the ones who with BeachBody have an online workout in which you could win daily prizes, i.e. ipod, vcr,dvd and much more.  I bought the starter package which came with HIP HOP ABS with Sean T, Turbo Jam with Chalene Johnson (awesome), Yoga Booty Ballet, (jury still out on this one), Slim in 6 and the beast of them all POWER 90X.  This workout will put the best shape person to shame.

Last year, I got all excited and wanted to try it out.  I recently had received my certification in Turbo Kick and had been doing that for a while.  I had been teaching step and a whole bunch of stuff at the colleges as well.  I thought I was in great shape.  So, I thought to myself, what the heck I will give it a go.  Can someone please tell me how crazy stupid I was. 

The Power 90X comes with it’s own book of different eating plans.  It comes with a book on all the programs you can do.  Okay, 3 programs in all.  You are suppose to keep up with the program for 90 days and Tony guarantees that you will be ripped by the end.  I have no doubt. 

I started with the classic workout.  I actually stuck with it for 3 weeks when on the 4th week, Tony gives you a break.  But not really.  The exercises he claims are light.  Right Tony.  So, since I had been doing my fitness classes at 2 colleges a total of 5 classes plus all the classes at the studio, I thought I should give my body a whole week off from the Power 90x.  Big mistake!  Well, just like normal people, I put it off and put if off because I knew the program was extremely difficult for me.  So, why in the world would I want to go back to it.  Well, I didn’t  Just like I say “A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”  I am back in the saddle and actually have given my self a deadline to get those abs showing again.  I have to do it for the kids.

I have completed day two and it freakin wore my butt out.  Again, I am thinking what they heck am I putting myself though this torture.  A good torture though.  I will keep you posted on my progress.  Let’s see if I can make it pass week 4.

I love Tony so much and he is a great motivator that I have actually signed up for his one on one.  I totally wish I could go to California to meet him.   Someday.

Wish me luck and if you like to join me at million dollar body, just e-mail me.  myphysique@suddenlink.net.
