Who wants to Cize it up with me in August??

Hey all!

Yesterday (July 20) was the release of the new fitness program from Shaun T called Cize.  It's supposed to be workout that's so much fun, that you forget that it's exercise.

It's a program where you learn various dance routines and in the process, you're burning up the calories.

Now this is an ironic thing because I am NOT a dancer and in fact, almost have no rhythm at all and here I am with a drummer boyfriend. :)

BUT, I'm willing to give it a try and I'll be doing the program for the first time starting August 10th.  And I'd love to do the program with people who are just like me - not too sure on the dancing thing but brave enough to give it a whirl!

So the basic rundown:

• It's a 4 week fitness program.  Come on - only a month!
• Each workout is approximately 35-40 minutes
• Appropriate for all levels of fitness: from Beginners to Advanced

If you're curious or just want more information, let me know.  I'll be posting my cool dance moves (ha!) next month....

Countdown to Reunion Time!

So on Saturday, June 27, I started the 21 Day Fix Extreme (21DFX) program because on Saturday, July 18 I have a big family reunion that I'm attending and I'd like to look and feel my best!

Today is Day 6 of the program and I got to say - this is tough!  There is a workout every single day. No rest day.  The closest thing to a rest day is the Yoga workout on Day 7 but even that you sweat a little!

Last night was a challenge for me. I ended up working late. Then I came home, made dinner and then we ended up popping in a DVD and watching the movie "American Sniper."  Well when the movie ended, it was around 9:30pm - which is close to my bed time.  And I STILL had not done my #21DFX workout.   I was SO tempted to just change to my jammies and go to bed. But I told myself "Remember why you're doing this. And this is only Week 1. Just put on the DVD and do the modification moves."  So that's what I did!  And even doing the modified moves that are low impact, I was still sweating when I finished. But I felt soooooo good afterwards!

 I felt so good that I even did an extra credit workout for a health challenge that I'm participating in at work.

So yeah, I felt like I crushed Day 5 despite not wanting to do it. DONE! Now on to Day 6...
