Trust me, I wasn’t counting 🤣

Anyway, my personal life is chaotic right now and the week at the beach did wonders, though the same chaos was here to greet me upon my return.

Yesterday was just a lackluster tread walk at lunch for a half hour, but today at lunch I did a super fun workout I haven’t done in a long time: Turbo Fire’s Fire Starter Class, 37 minutes long. The title is a misnomer and not a beginner workout. While Chalene goes over form in it, it moves at a fast pace and there is some tricky choreography if you’re not used to Turbo workouts (I used to teach Turbo Kick at 24 Hour Fitness in my 30’s and early 40s so it’s second nature to me). I did mostly low impact options and in places added in more kicks and had a BLAST! Later on YouTube I previewed some heavy bag workouts and I’d like to do those after I do some more cardio kickboxing first. I really like Jamie Ray’s kb workouts on Apple Fitness+; so different from Turbo – more drill like, just as intense, AND with original artist music! We are so spoiled these days with all of the options out there! What are your favorite kickboxing workouts? I’m always looking for new formats to try!

Yesterday was a 20:4, and today was an 18:6. My last lowest weigh in was at 214, down from 228, but I gained some back on vacay and am at 218 at the moment, oy! Ultimate goal is 150, but immediate goal is of course 199 (Onederland).
