FitFriday #7: Zumba

June 19, 2015 Posted by Hannah Boyl FitFriday, Fitness

Believe it or not there was a point in my life where I didn’t exercise, I didn’t think I needed it and I didn’t plan on ever being that girl that lifted weights or went to the gym regularly. I danced and, in high school, that was enough. Now check me out….haha

The first exercise class I ever did was Zumba. And I didn’t even want to go. My mom dragged me with her to a class that was taught at the dance studio I worked at. She assured me that I would like it, and be good at it, because it was a “dance” workout. Come to find out I LOVED it. Even as my mom stopped attending classes I went more and more frequently.

From there, my fitness journey began. I started taking different types of classes and eventually I found myself taking an early morning class that sometimes met at the gym…whoa (the reaction to both working out before 6 am and being in a gym). I was easily intimidated and if I didn’t go to that class I don’t know that I ever would have walked into a gym by myself.

It is really crazy to think that just 6 years ago regular exercise wasn’t part of my life, and now It’s a main component of my daily routine…I mean it IS my major.

I love taking advantage of fitness classes that my friends teach when I come back to my hometown so last night I took advantage of a Zumba class with a group of people that I started my Zumba journey with.

The workout was great and I had a ton of fun. I was really happy to be reunited with all these ladies that I rarely see these days. And to think, I almost didn’t try it all those years ago.

Try new things, you never know how it will affect the rest of your life.

FitFriday #19: WE LOVE CARDIO!

Jul 21, 2017

Most of the time my cardio is 20-30 minutes of intervals on the elliptical with the occasional sprint session on the treadmill or outdoors. Unfortunately, running long distances (over 1/2 mile) is out of the question with my chronic knee pain. :( 

Every now and then I like to mix it up with a high intensity cardio circuit (like the one I'll be giving you today) and it's always the most challenging, and the most rewarding, cardio session I do. It's something that I hope to be adding into my training on a regular basis in the near future. So, for those of you that are sick of the boring repetition of the treadmill or elliptical, or just love the challenge of high intensity work, check out this cardio circuit!
