Yesterday afternoon I decided to try something new. I had a Groupon to Bassline Fitness just over in Kirkland that I haven’t tried yet. Its 8 weeks till the lovely bikini season and the last thing I want is to be self-conscious.
I decided to give it a try.
I fell in LOVE.
I mean in LOVEEEEE. I did the Lean425 Butt & Legs workout today and left feeling amazing. You start off doing 15 minutes on the treadmill where music is blasting techno beats and the instructor had a ton of energy. Half the class is on the floor doing weights, and half on the treads. We switch after 15 minutes and then I find myself doing a mean leg/butt workout. Then 15 minutes later its back on the treads for more cardio….and then back to weights. It’s safe to say I got my bottom kicked! I found myself halfway through class, a sweaty mess, saying to myself “I must go back tomorrow!” Its also really affordable and gives me the feeling I would get after an intense training session with my old personal trainer, but cheaper.

I love when I find gems like this.
Workouts are getting so creative these days.
So here I am now at 7:30 the next day signing up again on the Bassline Fitness page…this morning I chose the Lean/Yoga class which is half a vinyasa flow class which you all know I LOVE…and its half treadmills. I can’t wait!
I haven’t been writing because I’ve felt uninspired. I’ve been anxious, I’ve been procrastinating, I’ve been blocking out the things I “should be doing”. I’ve been injured:( All my pushing in power yoga has wreaked hell on my shoulders the last couple weeks and I try to rest but things don’t feel better. I try to take more restore and hatha classes but sometimes the cramps in my shoulders are so bad that I want to cry.
This is just a small milestone. I will get over it because I have such big goals in my head that nothing will stop me. Everything is temporary. I have yoga school in a couple months I cant believe it! I also have the ACE test to take that I completely threw to the sidelines in my life….I am going to start planning a huge study session everyday for this because I’d like to have my certification, I feel that it will be beneficial for yoga teaching.
ANYWAY, let me discuss the 8-week plan:
We have APRIL
We have MARCH
Then it will be June…in 8 weeks…where will you be with your body? 8 weeks is enough for a body transformation. With enough focus on your diet and upping your workouts and trying new things, you will get that body that you want before summer. Usually its best to just keep a healthy lifestyle all through the year but shit happens I know this….that’s why I want us to all challenge ourselves!

I found my April routine: adding new Bassline fitness classes in my life (because there is no way your body wont change from these classes) and keeping up with my power/hatha/restore yoga classes. I’m back into Paleo and know that without all those crazy carbs and upping my fruit/veggies and protein my body does well this way. Find what works for you. Once May hits, I may get back into barre but based on this Bassline place I found, I might not have to do that. I’m also going to add more hikes to my weekends once it gets nice out. Let me know what you plan on doing and make sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram since I always talk about my tips and diet plan and exercise ideas on there.
Motivate each other to be the best we can be.
