Have a Question?, Loving Body Pump, Gym Decision

I LOVED Gabriela’s comment: "I think it's a great idea (to remake recipes) as bloggers become better cooks. The more you learn, the better your recipes are, so why not apply that new knowledge to old posts too, right?" I TRULY agree. I tweaked (or deleted!) several of my recipes when I moved over to Healthified Kitchen. But a few the pictures were so bad I didn’t even migrate them! Instead, I made a list of recipes I need to remake/take new pictures of. This is where I think I can tweak if need be!

Speaking of comments, earlier this week I was asked what mph I walk at. I walk at 4 mph at inclines between 4 and 0. Did I miss any more questions? Leave questions in the comment sections and i'll do an answer post next time! :)

Real quick flash back - this was taken one year ago today:

It's 65 degrees today and straight up HOT out there now; no snow in sight. OY. Anywho, I finally made a "gym decision." I have joined a gym that has multiple locations (four between my office and home) and TONS of classes. I joined primarily for Body Pump, Cycle, Boot Camp and Zumba. I'm just noticing that weight is creeping back on. I think it's because I can't run anymore which saddens me. I've GOT to find a way to replace this caloric burn. Enter classes. I made a schedule (I know, shocker) and am going to try out classes, instructors, etc. and try to burn more calories. Walking alone just won't cut it for me which is sad. :( So Wednesday, I worked, had another working lunch (SIGH) then worked more. After work I drove over the to the gym and signed up! I then walked 3.5 miles, and took a 1-hour body pump + abs class. I think I got a great workout in - I know my arms are SUPER sore today so there you go! This move got me the most - not so much the squat - but she would have us go up on one foot - it was a special kind of burn. Then we would switch feet and go up on the other foot. THEN, we would go up on both feet. Oy. I couldn't find a video of this but TRUST, it made a difference. :)

After the class I headed straight home, had dinner and hung out with the fam - pretty good night!

Q: Have you ever tried sumo squats while up on one foot?

Q: Ask anything! If you have a question - add it to the comments and i'll answer all in my next post!
