Hello, Friday! I’ve missed you!

I hope you had a great week. I’ll say it’s been a busy one and the on again/off again weather here in Wisconsin is wearing on me. This Florida girl needs some sunshine and warm rays on her skin! Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any of that this weekend. I guess that means we have to be the light, the sunshine! Shine bright my friends!

In Barreista news, this week I shared my first YouTube video, where I showed you how to make your own foaming hand soap.

This was a lot of fun for me and I’ll have more essential oil hacks and recipes coming soon. In the meantime you can subscribe here!

I took my first Shred415 class this week. This is an intense HIIT(High Intensity Interval Training) workout where you alternate between the treadmill and floor exercises that use your body weight and dumbbells. A lot of the floor work was similar to what I teach in my Barre Fight classes, but the treadmill was an added element that was a doozy. I hung up my running shoes a couple years ago so I was a little worried about how the workout would go. Would I feel pressured to run, etc. Well, I didn’t feel any pressure to run, I wasn’t the only one walking and an aggressive walk using incline rather than speed was still very challenging.

Fun Fact, Robyn(wearing Shred tank) is the owner of Healium Hot Yoga and now teaching a couple classes a week at Shred so I was happy to get out and support her for her very first class! You can check her out at Shred415 & Healium now!

I made it a point to get some extra walking in this week. I always feel better when I add long walks back into my routine. I try to get outside for them but when the weather isn’t cooperating I’ll take to the treadmill. The benefit of being outside is better views!
