It's Starting to Work

A funny thing happened last week. I didn't stagger home after Friday's Adult Fitness class. I walked -- with a little spring in my step, in fact! Then, on Saturday at Mary Jane, instead of skiing with legs screaming in pain, I skied with more energy and stamina than I can remember…

Back for more

Adult Fitness this past Monday hurt so good for two days afterward -- my arms, my abdominals, my quads, my glutes -- that I went back to Buchanan Park Rec Center for more this morning. Susan took us through a totally different workout, doing lower body, then upper body, then core -- 25 re…

Adult Fitness Monday mornings

I'm discovering that the greatest way to start the work week is with EPRD's Adult Fitness class, Monday mornings at 6:30 and 8 am at the base of the Pinnacle at Buchanan. I've started going there right from carpool drop-off. Susan leads an invigorating, difficult class that ke…

Indoor Cycling with Yesim

Wow. Hours later, I’m still sweating. Yesim adjusting my bike I finally got up the courage to try indoor spinning recently. Despite the fact that I am a cyclist, I was really intimidated. I didn’t know what to wear, what to bring, what the equipment was like, or if I could even keep up! I…

ZUMBA! -- Booty shaking with Mary Ann Goldstein

I confess: I have never had so much fun exercising in my life, as I did during Mary Ann Goldstein's ZUMBA! class this past Monday (9:15 am at Buchanan Rec). ZUMBA keeps your body moving! The movement is fast and exotic, the music is loud, the floor is shaking, the ponytails are swingi…

Griffin's Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga Class

Griffin makes me feel like a true yogi This week I tried +C. Griffin Litwin 's  Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga class (Tuesdays at 8 am at Buchanan Park Rec Center).  The time was perfect -- right after school dropoff. I brought a mat, but it's OK if you don't have one -- there is a clo…
