Latest Obsession = Orange Theory

So I tried a new workout a few weeks ago that's apparently becoming the new trendy thing. 

Verdict - I am in love with it! After one workout at Orange Theory I figured it'd be definitely worth giving it a try for awhile, so I've signed up for a membership. I'm so excited on the days I get to go to class! 

I was getting a little bored with my other gym, and I needed more weights in my fitness routine to amp it up. This workout seems to have it all. Cardio on treadmills and rowing machines, and a good section on the weight floor. I don't really like running, especially on treadmills, but the first class I was on a treadmill for 25 minutes and didn't even notice!

Everyone wears a heart rate monitor and your stats are up on the screen. You can see your heart rate, calories burned, and how hard you're working. As you work harder and move your exertion into the 'orange zone' your box of stats changes color to let you know where you're working.

Class goes by so quickly. Between jumping between rowing and weights, then switching to treadmills, music going, trainers giving instructions, and watching your stats on screen, there's too much going on to get bored.

After class they email you your workout summary, and it's good to see the progress week on week. I think I'll be sticking with this one for awhile. It's pretty awesome.

Advantages to being sick:
Reducing the Netflix queue
Library books
Lots of March Madness!
Resting my poor body from boot camp

Thirteen of the Sweet Sixteen

Seven of the Elite Eight. (Close one, Kansas)

Number one in my pool.  

I love this month. But Hoyas, why you always gotta choke?

Yes, I'm still watching Bon Iver's SNL performance.

Going on day 3 though, this is getting old.  Please say adios, fever/headache/sore throat.  I've got things to do.

Gratitude, Day 15

Today I watched last week's 20/20 with Gabby Giffords.

Get your Kleenex.

I'm thankful that I can walk down a flight of stairs to the mailbox without any problems to return some Netflix.

Gratitude, Day 9

I'm glad that someone invented gummy vitamins and calcium supplements.

I sure do love ice cream, but I've never been a milk drinker.  I'm on my way to getting old and I don't want osteoporosis! Two little gummy drops just now, and my bones are on their way to staying healthy.  Right?

Fingers crossed.
