can feel it, 2011 is going to be a great year!
I was still a bit groggy this morning as our friends, Mike and Liz, who just got engaged over the holiday came over for dinner and drinks last night. I was the lame wife who went to bed at midnight due to exhaustion. Oh well, I had a hot morning workout date!
This morning I met Ali and Sara again for a wonderful workout class. As you may recall, we enjoyed a Saturday triple threat Equinox session before the holiday together. Since then, we’ve been talking about trying more classes together. Per Sara’s recommendation, we tried the infamous 30/60/90 this morning.
I knew it was going to be a sweat session after reading the description alone.
30/60/90: Created by Kristi Molinaro. A high intensity interval training workout consisting of cardio, strength training,plyometrics and static holds designed to get you into the best shape of your life. Very challenging but modifiable for all levels.
When we heard this morning’s class was only going to be 45 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of abs, we were disappointed as we were hoping for an hour session. By the end of the class, we couldn’t imagine doing the workouts one minute longer. This morning’s class revolved around the step, body bar, and our own body weight.
This class is very effective due to the interval training. It is designed to rev up the metabolism similar to high-intensity interval training such as HIIT. I will warn you, there is no programmed break during the class and it is not for beginners. However, the teachers do give some adjustments that students can do if their muscles are weary. For example. by the last set, I wanted to throw the body bar out the window and put it on the floor so I could ensure correct form for the last few sumo squats jumps. An interview with the 30/60/90 creator can be seenhere which also features some of the exercises.
I loved everything about 30/60/90 today: great music, no complicated choreography, helpful instructor, great company, and the class was surprisingly not full!
Breakfast
After our workout, Ali and I headed into Fish’s Eddy as I needed a new work breakfast bowl. The shop is always so fun and bright! I took the bowl for a test ride this morning. I love the fun, bright color and can’t wait to use it at work.
Fage 2%
1/4 cup Homemade Cinnamon Granola
1 banana, sliced
I have to shower and get ready because we’re off to see Promises, Promises! Bo’s parents gave us tickets for my birthday and I’m so excited to see the final show this afternoon.
when I got home. I’ve been talking about this for a while after hearing that Dori, Melissa, and Rebecca have all registered I decided to pull the trigger! It wasn’t cheap but it will definitely be fun. Now I just have to figure out how to get to Long Island! 🙂 This should hopefully fit into my NYC Marathon training plan perfectly.
