I just ordered a pair of the Flyknit Zoom Agility training shoes from Nike.com. I love how bright and fun they look — hopefully I can pull off Bright Crimson/Light Aqua/Lava Glow/White color combo during my gym sessions! I was looking for a new pair of kicks that are lightweight + breathable + comfortable + without too much grip. I was happy to find this pair because they are super stylish and that is a HUGE plus! Getting new gear to workout in is motivation to get my booty to the gym!
Well… It finally happened! I have been passionate about Zumba so much that it has lead me to overcome my shyness and sign up for the instructor training. I was always checking the instructor training schedule to see what was close by, but when I saw Gina Grant was teaching — I told my friend Taylor that THAT was the instructor I wanted to be taught by! I mean, she is definitely one of my faves… And she was nothing less than amazing!
Taylor and I signed up to take the full day training course and we graduated (along with the rest of the students who signed up)! Photos from a couple of months ago when we had our training day at Work Out World in Anaheim, CA:
I have since joined the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN), created my Zumba website and I am listening to music to gather my playlist (and practicing my routines) in hopes of teaching soon… I hope I can find a job. O_O
I realized when I worked out with Amandabot that I really like the crossover cable machine at the gym. There are eight stations and many many exercises one can do on the cables — with different handles to adjust what specific muscle groups you want to target.
My usual go-to workouts are the triceps and biceps cable pull downs… I also like the lat pull downs… I like seeing my muscles work in the mirror… o___O Egotistical? I hope not — I believe it motivates me to push a bit harder. 😀
I do have to switch it up so I will be researching some new exercises to try out from Muscle & Strength’s instructional video library.
Something very amazing happened! My Momma gifted me with a pair of beautiful Asics! I had been obsessing over the GEL-NOOSA TRI 8 and well… Mothers are the best things in life.
So far, I’ve worn them to the gym twice: once in the weight room and another time in Zumba! Love how they feel — so comfy and light and breathes well and stylish! 😀
Is it funny that having new workout gear encourages me to workout even more?
My baby sister Banana even got a pair of kicks! Aren’t her GEL-FLASHPOINT super cute?
I missed my Zumba class tonight. 😦 I feel pretty anxious to go workout — can’t wait for tomorrow!
I had a great workout session with my gym buddy Amandabot last Saturday! We did a little warm-up and got our strength training on. It’s fun to workout with a friend at the gym — that way we can show each other any new tips we learned. Since we live far away from one another, we ave to plan to have sessions like these…
You Don’t Even Know It… Two hours passed and we got in a good workout and spent some quality time together. 😀
