A good sweat!

There really is nothing like hitting the gym and working up a good sweat. I had been a fairly dedicated gym goer until about my eight month of pregnancy with Avery. Once I hit that point, it just didn't feel good anymore. Obviously I took some time off when she was a newborn and have tried half heartedly to get back into a routine over the past year. I have finally managed to get my butt in gear and make it a priority. As a mom, I often find myself on empty when it comes time to do something for myself. I decided it's time I do this one thing for myself and it has made me feel so much better! I used to work on the treadmill or the elliptical and then do some free weights. This go around I have started taking some classes and have fallen in love with them! Tonight I did Turbo Kick and tomorrow I'm doing Total Body Conditioning. I love them because they are concise and to the point but not boring. The instructors work hard to change things up and use different equipment. I know exactly how long I will be there and don't have to worry if the equipment I want is available. My goal has been at least 3 classes a week. So far so good. Lets face it, I'll never be in a bikini again, not that I really care. All I want is to feel good physically and not embarrass myself or my kids at the pool this summer in my suit! :-)Hopefully I can accomplish both!
