Week 7 - Hot Yoga, Bosu Blast & Cardio Unlmt'd!

Sorry for not blogging sooner, between computer issues and snowboarding injuries we have not been very organized :-S

BUT, we’re back now – well I am…. Kirk is out "indefinitely" with a rib injury obtained on a snowboarding trip. I might be going at this alone for the last 2 weeks of our Fitness Rehab – maybe Kirk will be OK for a yoga class or two?!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been following along - the comments on our blogs are really inspiring – seeing that its not just Kirk and I struggling shows us that we’re not suffering alone, and really helps us push through one class at a time! Remember that at the end of week 8 of our Fitness Rehab there will be a draw for a FREE 6 Month Membership to Heavens!

I went to Hot Yoga on Monday and have found that I have really fallen in love with this class. Its so relaxing, and the heat and humidity feel amazing (it does take some getting used to in the first few classes though!).

Tonight I went to Bosu Blast, a class that we took in Week 2. A great all over workout, this class adds some intensity to anyone’s workout! Its very challenging, and I’m already stiffening up – I’ll have to drink lots of water tonight!

I’ll be at Cardio Unlimited (another favorite) Thursday night. This class is a lot of fun, with choreography and upbeat music. And if you don’t know the moves, just jump around and no one will notice! Come join me for free @ 6:30!

Week 5 Fitness Rehab

WEEK 5: CYCLING! Well, we went to Crank'd last night, which is Heaven's cycling class. This is the first class in our 1st month of Fitness Rehab that we were unable to stay the entire class. The problem wasn't the exercise, but the fact that those DARN hard seats hurt my a$$. Seriously, I wasn't even in there 5 min and I knew it was going to be a problem. I put my towel on the seat - still hurt. Added Kirk's towel to it, and it STILL HURT. I was only able to stay in the class for the first 1/2 hour, and then just couldn't do it. My butt hurt so much I couldn't even concentrate on moving my legs. It is safe to say that we won't be back to a cycling class for a bit!

However, instead of just ditching Crank'd and then going home, Kirk and I did go to the cardio room and worked on the elliptical for another 15 minutes.

We'll be at Cardio Unlimited tomorrow @ 6:30 - see you there for FREE!!

FITNESS REHAB WEEK 5: Yoga, Cycling

YOGA, CYCLING
We've been doing alot of hot yoga over the past month, so we decided to try Monday 5:30pm Integrated Yoga - flowing yoga poses that work to build strength & balance. Both of us definitly thought this was a harder type of yoga :-S and I can feel the soreness settling in. Kirk has started to notice an improvement in his balance from all the yoga classes, and he has improved energy levels during the day. I've started to see some tone in my arms and legs, and definitly feel stronger. I've even been sleeping better, and don't feel as tired in the mornings.We saw a dietician two weeks ago and have slowly been trying to change our eating patterns to help avoid cravings & over eating. It's been hard, but we have started eating whole grain bread and are choosing snacks of apples and granola bars instead of chips & chocolate (well, at least trying too!). TODAY (Tuesday @ 5:30pm) we are going to Crank'd - cycling. I don't even ride a bike outside, so this class should be interesting... Come join us for free @ 5:30!

Fitness Rehab: Week 4

Fitness Rehab: Week 4
HOT YOGA, LIVE DJ MARTIAL ARTS AND CARDIO UNLIMITED!
So, Kirk and I are STILL sore from the class we took on Tuesday night (Martial Arts Fitness). Like REALLY sore..... this is ridiculous.... and we have another class tonight - Cardio Unlimited... not exactly sure how we are going to make it through this class tonight, and really not looking forward to it.....
Have definitely noticed an increase in the difficulty level of the classes we have been taking, and I know its a good thing in the long run, but right now it is damn hard.

Come join us tonight for free at Cardio Unlimited at 6:30PM! Use the promo code: Christine and Kirk
See you there

Fitness Rehab Week 3 ENDS!: XIT & Twoonie Yoga

Week 3 ENDS!
Kirk and I took Xtreme Interval Training on Friday night. We were so
tired after the class, and so sore yesterday that we couldn't even blog
about it. It was an extremely (hence the name) advanced workout class -
3 min of cardio & 1 min of strength & then repeat that for an hour -
weights, step board and some irritating rubber band thing included....
It was an exhausting class - the first 5 minutes were intense cardio
that left us panting, followed by the instructor telling us 'ok, that
was the warmup!, r u ready!?' AAARRRRHHHHH!
The instructor was great though - able to keep you motivated even when
you couldn't lift you legs anymore - my other favorite saying of hers -
'Keep smiling and then it won't hurt!' Bahaha, ya right...

We also went to Twoonie Yoga this Sunday. This class costs only $2 & the
money is donated to Heavens charity of choice - this year it is Alberta
Guide Dogs! They even had one of the dogs in after the class- A very
cute 16 month old yellow lab that is currently in training!

Join us this week for the following workouts!
Monday @ 7pm - Hot Yoga
Tuesday @ 6:30pm - Martial Arts Fitness with a LIVE DJ
Saturday @ 10:30am - Crank'd (Cycling)
Use the promo code: Christine and Kirk to get into the class for FREE!

Fitness Rehab Week 3: Personal Training and Yoga

Had my first personal training session last night with Jessica Power-Cyr.... what an evil women she is! She definitly pushed me to my limits last night (even though she was taking it easy on me!) I was ready to just go curl up in a corner :-( by the time she finished. She set me up with a cardio routine, and then a strength routine using the Bosu, weights, matts and the excersize ball. So, now I just have to get my ass to the gym and i have a routine I can do! This was my first time using any cardio equipment, but Jess got my familiarized with the treadmill, eliptical, stepper, bikes and rowing machine (hate the rowing machine, btw).

Silly me, I scheduled myself for a Hot Yoga class immediatly after the personal training... I was so tired from the workout that I found i had a really tough time holding the poses, but the intense heat is so relaxing!!

I was so tired when i got home i couldnt even blog (seemed like that would take WAY too much effort). Feeling ok today, can definitly tell that i worked out last night though (a little stiff, a little sore).

I have really started to notice a change in how I feel - seems like im a little stronger now, and working out has kept me from being bored!

See you Friday @ 5pm for Extreme Interval Traning (FREE) and Sunday @ 12:00 for the SPECIAL Twoonie Yoga ($2). The Twoonie Yoga is annoucing their new charity and it's a secret....hint: Twoonie Yoga is going to the DOGS! Come get good Karma!

FITNESS REHAB: Week 2 ENDS!
We went to Bosu Blast Tuesday night and I was so sore the next day. It
hurt to get up, it hurt to sit, it just hurt. For some reason I actually
want to take the class again though... It is definitly a class that will
give you results!

Kirk on the other hand is still raving about how much it's going to help
his golf swing...
He wasn't as sore as i was, but he still got a great workout. This class
works your arms, legs, shoulders and core, and has some cardio too.

I went to a Step Combo class this morning at 8:30am. First of all, WAY
to early for a Saturday morning to be stepping and twirling. Secondly, I
had no idea what was going on! Way too much choreography for me!! I
spent a lot of the class doing side knees. Hahaha

Kirk came to the gym this morning too, and spent 45 minutes working his
arms & chest and is starting to feel sore, but a good sore!

Come workout with us for FREE by using the promo code: Christine and Kirk.
This is what we are doing this week:
Monday Cycling "Crank'd" @ 5:30pm
Tuesday Yoga Asthanga @ 5:30pm
Friday Xtreme Interval Training @ 5pm
Sunday SPECIAL Twoonie Yoga @ 12:05pm ($2 donation is required)

FITNESS REHAB!

FITNESS REHAB WEEK 2
Kirk and I both felt great today from the Hot Yoga last night - it leaves you feeling relaxed all the next day. It is a great way to start the week!
Bosu Blast was tonight - I was not looking forward to this class (very intimidating!), but am happy that I went and made it through. This is one tough class! There were a few times where fetal position seemed like a great idea (you know, maybe lay down and cry for a bit)... but we both pushed through.
I'm already starting to stiffen up, and I found out where my obliques are - 'cus they hurt every time I move.
Kirk really enjoyed this class, and has not stopped talking about how this class could really improve his golf swing!
This class works out everything from your core to your shoulders, arms and legs - everything! And on top of that, its a cardio workout too!
We will both be back at this class next week - if you are looking for fitness results you must try Bosu Blast! Its an intense workout, everything hurts already, but it will pay off!
I have my first personal training session tomorrow - core workouts. Not sure why I agreed to two days in a row.....
You can join Kirk and I for free Friday @ 5:30PM for Yoga Groove - Just mention the promo code 'Christine and Kirk' when you come in!
Talk to you soon

Fitness Rehab

Tonight was our first Hot Yoga class, and it. was. hot. With the heat, comes sweat, and lots of it! You leave feeling very cleansed at the end - it is very satisfying.

We noticed tonights instructor took the classes a little slower than Yoga Groove, and we were even able to follow her with our eyes closed while she verbally guided us through the poses, giving a very medatative feel to the class.

Hot Yoga may seem scary, but I would recommend this class to anyone - even beginners!

Come join us tomorrow for Bosu Blast @ 5:30PM - a strength training class (not looking forward to this!) Mention the promo code "Christine and Kirk" when you come in, and you can join us for free!


Talk to you soon
