I don't teach at 5:15am on Fridays. In fact I don't teach on Friday mornings *at all*. I get to sleep in to a normal hour (like 7:30 or 8am)  instead of getting up at 4:30am, teaching, then coming back home and sleeping 'till 10am. (I know

this is the kind of jigsaw puzzle I have to deal with on a weekly basis. Buckle up, this one gets uber-confusing! Instructor A teaches 6:15pm Cardio Kickbox and 7:15pm Pilates on Wednesday nights. But she is out of town this week and needs a

that dryer sheets are literally polluting our airspace? Yeeee-uck. I just got back from a *great* (it's a wonderful sunny and 70 degrees here today)  hour long bike ride in my community and was almost CHOKED and NAUSEATED by the nasty dryer shee

It's just not been a happy happy joy joy kinda day around  here people. First off? This morning I saw this horrible story on CNN about bird flu in Africa and how it's likely to become a pandemic hot zone. Why? Well, one chicken farm in Nige

okay first things first: my yoga party/workshop on Saturday was a big hit. It helped that it turned out to be a very dreary day. Kinda cold and kinda cloudy. I think I had 15 in attendance and 3 of them were fellow instructor friends of mine. On

things are spiralling a bit ...again...lately. Both figuratively and physically. I've had a touch of vertigo return this week but only on my left side. It gets better as the day goes on, I suspect it's allergy, humidity, blooming related..whatever it

My phone rang at 9pm last night. It was one of the 3 new instructors I've hired in the last month. Her first class was last Thursday night. She was calling around *already* looking for a sub for her class tonight. Seriously people. I was in complete

I've discovered the Nordic Track "hill trainer" at our gym.  This isn't your ordinary treadmill. It goes up to a *50% incline*. You can basically do your HIIT (high intensity interval training) cardio on this thing without ever even br

stuffing envelopes. How on earth do people do it? I just did 40 and thought it was horrible. What with the label printing, highlightering, flier folding, envelope closing, stamping, and *huge* potential for paper cuts? Gah. No way. Not

one of my instructors turned 50 last week, so a few of us met at Cafe Xpress today for lunch to celebrate. I'm such a pig. Everyone is dutifully eating their salads and I'm maow-ing down on a grilled chicken, bacon, and swiss sandwich. The weird thin

And probably also why I was never successful studying at home in college either. ((( sigh ))) I always had to trot down to the local coffee shop, library, or memorial union. And I'm not one of those "quiet" studiers either. I like lots

so I had time this morning after teaching my 5:15am powerpump class to fit in a little HIIT cardio on the treadmill at the gym. Oh how I love running in the morning. But I might have kinda sorta misjudged how wobbly my legs were when I got done after

I finally caught an episode of this show on FitTV this morning. Holy cow. It's so similar to where I work. No wonder people like reading my blog. I'm like a virtual reality tv show or something. Take tonight for instance. My 'diva' instructor had t
