Its my Time.... Its My Life... I Gotta take it to Right!!

I just worked out...not like the old days when I taught fitness classes to the finest group of women in Onoway! I loved picking out the music for the classes that we did, and would change it up every six weeks.  Finding the music was one of my favorite processes. I just hoped the music that motivated me would motivate the girls...it usually did!  It was the intense squats and lunges we did that usually got me a few dirty looks!
But wow did our legs look amazing!

We did a combination of step, weights, high impact aerobics, core work, some yoga...it was a lot of fun, and the music and the participants were always my main motivator. I loved great music, the participants were wonderful, and the determination and motivation by the group was such a push for me, teaching fitness classes was a great experience in my life for sure.

I did it for about 7 years part time, while I was at home with my two oldest, and continued teaching at night for a few years after the twins were born.

I do miss cardio, and I did take it for granted, and I cant believe looking back a month before being diagnosed with cancer, I ran down a mountain at Lake Louise!!  I took being active for granted, and there were many months before cancer I was in a rut, and the couch and chocoloate chip cookies looked far better than any elliptical machine.

I do love that feeling of those great endorphins being released after a hard run, or the elliptical, or high impact aerobics, its better than anything I have experienced...well almost better...lol. I know many of you wont believe me, but when you are in that zone, everything becomes clearer. I find you can do your best planning and decision making when you are working out, no wonder I am not getting anything accomplished these days..lol.

My work-out today consisted of  a warm-up, weights, upper body, lower body, squats and lunges..---not quite the same intensity...but it will come!  It felt good!!!

This song really gets me going by Enrique Englasis: I like how it feels!

Crank it up and get your body moving, guaranteed you will feel better, and will have a more productive day because of it....that's my experience anyway!

Cheers!
