Get Physique-a-licious

So, I must admit, week one was a little mixed up trying to wait for my shoulders and arms DVD to come in, when all along I found it the night before it came it.  I still did the workout and ended up going into the seventh day.

I did my legs and back on Sunday, and do you know it took me all week to recover from that workout.  Well, I was soooooo sore in the booty where it counts.  That was a plus!  I hated being so all week.  I will say though, I taught some strenous classes in the meantime.  I was still working those legs.

Now, for week two, I will have to admit that I did slack.  Okay, here is the deal, i forget why I missed on Monday, oh probably because I was suppose to do the “Core Synergistics” and I have to be honest here, that is a freakin hard program.  I just can’t seem to bring myself to do it.  Tuesday, I was doing TurboKick and so that worked for my Cardio X part of the plan.  I burned 471 calories.  I did do my shoulders and arms in the morning to get them over with and before my 10:30 body chizel circuit class.  I thought I could do them since I was not doing really anything physical for the class.  They were doing all the work.  :)  Nice!  Okay, so later that afternoon, I did not have anyone show up after the Yoga class so I did a couple of fixing up in the studio and decided to get another cardio session in.  I worked or practiced my TurboKick for Thursday since I was so rusty on Tuesday.  I am glad I did.  I felt great.  Thursday, I think I was suppose to do my Yoga X and did not do that, I ran out of time.  I can’t believe what the heck I was doing but really ran out of time.  I was mad.  I did another cardio section of TurboKick.  Friday, being the 4th of July and all, I did not have class at the studio and we were headed down to Lake Brownwood for the weekend with some friends.  I did not do anything.  I feel aweful now.

So, today being Monday, I need to kick into gear.  I already had a workout session with my class and I feel that was just a warm-up, so now I need to do the cardio X one.  I ordered the Master Series of Power 90 the cardio intervals one and viewed it yesterday on the ride back home.  it looks awesome.  I think I may do that one.  i will stay on track this week for sure.  I just need a little motivation.

I can not wait until I get the one-to-one workout with Tony Horton.  I am really excited about doing that program.  I know I must be insane.  You would think I looked like a fitness model.  I think I look pretty darn good for my age.  I just want this little fat to go away.

Tell me what you think.

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.

So, I mentioned that I am a fitness instructor.  I have to tell you that I am in pretty good shape.  I teach so many classes, which for the summer is getting to me and I am at my slow time.

I received my certification in Turbo Kick back in December of 2006 and I totally went crazy.  I love it!  It is the most awesome workout ever.  I teach it at the local universities.  Well, during the summer I don’t teach at the Universities therefore I don’t get my Turbo like I should.  I have been feeling just unmotiviated lately you all.  I need a competition or something to kick my booty into gear.  What?  I have a very good friend who teaches the Turbo for me and she is really good.  She loves to teach the Turbo so I let her. 

Well, her hubby came home last night from being over in the desert, so she has taken some time off.  I had to sub.  OMG.  Teaching it and taking it are two different things.  It literally kicked my butt.  I loved it.  Then, after Turbo I had to teach a Body Chizel class.  Whew!  I was so worn out last night.  I feel like if a steamroller ran over me it would really feel good :)  Just have to keep at it.  When am I going to get time to work on my Power90X.  I need to get this fat off so I can reveal my six-pack to the kids.  Oh well, whatever.  See what I mean?  What am I going to do?  Someone please help me.
