FitBloggin Fitness Fun

May 23rd, 2011 14 comments

Hey guys!! I hope you had a great weekend – mine was quite the whirlwind!

I’m sure there will be plenty other recaps of the entire conference so today I just wanted to talk about the fitness fun we had at Fitbloggin. Friday morning was spent with lots of activity!

We started the day bright and early with a 5k walk or run. My poor roommates now know how much of a morning person I am NOT.

But the scenery more than made up for the early wakeup call. We ran along the harbor and it was beyond beautiful.

I seriously would consider moving to Baltimore. Waking up and running along the water front every morning wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Tina and I kept a pretty good pace and picked it up at the end – she really pushed me that last mile. She has come far in her running this year!

After breakfast Beth and I attended a kettlebell session, which was pretty great actually, and then went to Cathe Friedrich’s fitness challenge, which was taught by Cathe herself. This class was right up my alley! Lots of energy and intense intervals. I was sweating by the end of the 25 minutes (but who are we kidding, we all know how much I sweat)!

If that wasn’t enough, right after Cathe’s class we went to a Fitness Trampoline class with Abbie Appel.

This goofy happy face was before the class started. I did NOT look like this after. Seriously, this class is NO JOKE. My azz is still sore and this was Friday morning.

I was really, really impressed all around. Abbie was amazing, the class was extremely tough, and it was for all fitness levels. Win win. Hands down, this was my most favorite part of the entire conference. If I could afford one of the trampolines I would invest in one today. If you ever have a chance to participate in a class like this I highly recommend it!

If you can’t tell, I really enjoyed Friday morning. I’m all about trying new things and pushing your body to the max. I know some people took these classes to have fun, but if you know me, you know I’m always about the workout. :)

Ok, well I’m off to enjoy some down time with my handsome hubby – maybe I can get him to massage my sore booty??

Did you do anything different this weekend that pushed you outside your comfort zone??
