friday fun day

hey hey!  hope everyone's friday is off to a killer start! 

i officially, for only a short while, have no classes on fridays.  they will be starting up again soon, but for now i'm sans plans.  i decided to take advantage of the time and i've spent my morning prepping playlists and sequuences for upcoming classes.  i start my turbokick class in a week and a half and i also added a butt 'n gut class, which is basically just a lower body blast.  i worked through what i want to do for that class and my legs were on fi-yah!

i'm really pumped about all these upcoming classes!  can't wait to make 'em suffer sweat!

today i wanted to also mention the topic of being reactive. 

are you a reactive type of person or do you keep your words and emotions in control until you fully gauge a situation?  i'm so reactive.  i have so much trouble keeping my emotions under wraps.  i grew up in a household where we pretty much always expressed how we felt and holding in emotions causes me to stress and i have to find ways to relieve the energy.  i'm just used to being an open book.  but that's not always the best thing.  meditating has helped me slow down the reaction process a bit, but i still struggle with it.  and sometimes being reactive about certain situations could upset someone and i'm always concerned about that.  i hate being in that situation where i think it over and realized i over reacted.  i need to practice being underwhelmed and i need to digest situations before jumping to -an emotional- conclusion. 

how do you face things that come your way? do you react before thinking or are you pretty good at taking it all in before doing anything?

sequence for a rainy day

i was so enjoying the warm weather and sunshine we were having - and then this morning i woke up to chilly weather and pouring rain.  i know some people totally dig the rain and find it relaxing, but i'm not one of 'em!  my morning started off with a wet walk around the block with the pup (who dislikes the rain as much as i do) and then taking care of my sick hubby.  he caught some kind of bug from all the traveling he's been doing so i made him some soft boiled eggs and loads of herbal tea to help get him through his day. i was hoping to get myself to my bikram class, but i had other things to tend to and my morning kind of slipped away from me. so i'm aiming to grab a bikram class tomorrow afternoon after i teach my morning classes. 

to make me feel better i whipped up one of my fave breakfasts ... the breakfast sundae! 

and a big 'ol mug of coffee :)

now i'm off to beat the rainy day blues with some killer cardio and yoga.  on the agenda is TurboKick (which is a sweat-fest like no other) and then some deep, restorative yoga to stretch out all the kinks. 

i'm going to start teaching TurboKick soon so i'm super pumped about that.  and the more practice i get doing it the better! 

i hope you aren't having a wash out day! 

here's the restorative sequence i'm going to enjoy:
