Hey guys! Happy Halloween Friday!
We had fun handing out candy last night 🙂
Scared a lot of kids with my green face 🙂
So, you might remember me mentioning my new fitness adventure a while ago 🙂
Yep, that happened last weekend 🙂Continue Reading
I was recently asked for advice by one of my Twitter friends – how to get more people to come to their new Indoor Cycling/Spinning® class they just took over.
It got me thinking… What would I do to promote my new class? What HAVE I done to promote my classes?
You guys know that I’ve been a long time sub for Jim’s Monday class over the summer, and I just got my own class that I teach on Sundays at 2:30 PM.
So how did I get people to come to my new classes?
Here are some strategies to consider: things I did/wanted to do and what I think worked for me in promoting my new classes.
Hey-hey, guys! It’s Friday finally!
So it’s been a while since I shared anything about the things I like, what’s going on with my life these days, and all that – you know, fun stuff 🙂
Looking at my blog’s front page lately I realized that all I’ve been posting about was Tasty Tuesdays and Cycling Class Profiles.
Time to share something else with you, like good ol’ days 🙂 What do you say?
So, here are 5 absolutely random things I’ve been loving lately (random = not related to each other at all).
You probably noticed by now that I have a new badge in the right sidebar. I announced it on Facebook, but I didn’t share it here.
I am extremely excited, proud and honored to be selected as a brand Ambassador for Polar.
Hey-hey, my fitness gang! How is that week going?
Here is the weekly Indoor Cycling Class Profile and Playlist for ya! I hope you’re riding outside today and come back here later to check this post out and let me know what you think.
So I keep experimenting with the format of these posts, and today is going to be another experiment. I am open to feedback and suggestions if you have any – just let me know in comments.
I’m going to post a .pdf cue sheet of the ride from the Class Builder™ App by Cycling Fusion, post the usual iTunes Playlist for the ride so you can quickly click through to buy a song you like from the playlist (or the whole playlist), and add some notes below it all to explain the ride in a little bit more detail.
I don’t talk about my personal life on this blog a lot… But this occasion/opportunity really moved me to share a story with you today that’s personal.
It’s the most difficult post I’ve ever had to write, too…
Meet my grandma.
Her name is Valentina and she’s my maternal grandmother’s sister actually. I grew up with my maternal grandma living with us – taking care of us kids like only a grandmother can, for which I will forever be grateful. Valentina lived away and would come to visit us occasionally. Those family get-togethers are one of the fondest memories I have from my childhood. My grandma’s sisters were all very loud, funny, witty, strong and powerful women. Growing up with these women around was amazing and contributed a lot into making me who I am today.Continue Reading
Hey, my fellow Indoor Cycling/Spinning® Instructors, fitness enthusiasts and just my regular readers 🙂
It’s time for the weekly Indoor Cycling / Spinning® Class Profile and Playlist.
As you guys know, since beginning of October I have my own class on the schedule every Sunday, and that feels AWESOME!
So, for my first Sunday I thought I’d come up with something different.Continue Reading
Hey-hey! Happy Hump Day, folks 🙂 It’s all downhill from here!
I’ve had a couple of really busy weeks here…I don’t know why, but I just can’t seem to catch up with everything ever since we came back from CA – so much going on!
So it’s been a while since I told you about my workouts. A lot’s been up on the fitness front, so let me tell you all about it – Wednesday to Wednesday 🙂Continue Reading
Hey-hey, everyone! Happy Hump Day!
Today’s post is about ICI/PRO 28 Day Instructor Challenge Week 1 Recap, since the week 1 ended this past Sunday.
If you missed the beginning, read this post to find out what the challenge is all about. You can also listen to a special edition of the ICI/PRO Podcast below that we recorded to give you a better idea of what the challenge is all about and what cool prizes will be awarded at the end.
Happy Monday, my friends!
This week’s Cycling Class Profile is called “Ride to the 80’s”.
Special thanks to Sue over at Mrs. Fatass for song ideas! 🙂
I taught this class last Saturday and my riders really enjoyed it. I love teaching Saturday classes – they are one hour long vs. my usual 45 minute class format, which is challenging by itself 🙂 Also, Saturday class is taught by a different instructor every week and usually has better attendance numbers than weekday classes (looking at you, weekend warriors 🙂 ).
And – you never know who’s coming to your Saturday class vs. having your regulars in your usual scheduled classes.
Anyway, I thought I’d do something fun this week – both with the music and the routine.
But before I dive into the drills and routines, here’s a video that inspired me to do one of the fun drills in Saturday class.Continue Reading
Hey guys! Just popping in quickly today to tell you about the September POPSUGAR Must Have Box.
If you remember, I reviewed this subscription before and I absolutely LOVE it.
So here are some of my favorite items from the September box:Continue Reading
Hi guys! Special announcement today! Well, actually I got two announcements – one really special, and one a little less special 🙂
I’ll start with BIG news.
Remember my interview with John for the ICI/PRO Podcast? While we were talking I mentioned how my fitness journey started – with a personal 30 Days Active challenge. After the interview was over, John had an idea to create a similar Indoor Cycling Instructor Challenge.
Well, fast forward a few weeks, and today marks the day we announced the challenge!
Hey guys!
So today is Day 30 of my Whole30! I did it!!! I feel pretty awesome and proud of myself 🙂
Since today is Tasty Tuesday I decided to summarize my experience with Whole30 as it all does start with food indeed.
But first, let me remind you what Tasty Tuesday is 🙂
Every Tuesday I post a recipe, a collection of recipes, a restaurant review or anything related to food. There is then a linkup at the end of the post where you can add links to your food-related blog posts! The linkup stays open for a week – right until the next one comes around. How awesome is that?
Don’t forget to check out other link up participants and there’s only one rule to the linkup – link back to this blog or grab the link up badge from the sidebar. Let’s spread the word so we can have more people checking out your posts next week!
We also now have the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest Board where you can pin your posts every week. To be able to do that, please follow me on Pinterest and let me know in comments that you did, and your Pinterest username so I could send you an invite.
Hey guys!
Since this week started off so awesomely amazing and threw all my blogging schedule off, this is not your usual Workout Wednesday post, BUT – it is fitness related.
Gonna drop some knowledge on you today 🙂
Have you ever experienced the dilemma before going for a run/grocery shopping/picking up the kids/to the gym of whether or not you should bring your purse with you, or in case of workouts – what to do with all this stuff you need (car/house keys, phone, etc..) once you get to the gym?
Don’t answer, we all did. 🙂
Well, I got a solution for you – FlipBelt.
Hey-hey! Happy Tuesday, you guys!
Is your week off to a good start? Mine is pretty darn awesome so far.
Today we’re interrupting out regular broadcasting for some breaking news 🙂Continue Reading
So I am 1/3 of the way through – done with my Whole30 Days 1-10.
In case you missed the beginning – after some thinking I decided to try this program with my buddy over in the Netherlands – Yuliya.
Ok, now that you have all the links, go ahead and read – I’ll wait 🙂
Welcome back!
So. 10 days later I decided I’d recap the highlights of the first 10 days of the program, let you guys know how it feels and what it takes.
