What the ?!?!?

Hey fitness fanatics! First, thanks for all of the great feedback on this new series. Sonya and I have gotten emails, calls and comments from many of you and we're thrilled that you like this new adventure. Second, this blog will be brief because we did a BRUTAL workout this morning. I'm not going to ruin the surprise because this particular segment won't air for several weeks, but here's a hint ... the temperature in the room was more than 100 degrees. Whew! My body is still shaking.

On to this week's workout ... it's one both Sonya and I thought would be fairly easy. It's hula hooping. Fun, right? Maybe a little bit embarassing, but not that difficult, right? WRONG. The so called "Energy" class we attended on a Friday morning at Fitness World West was insane. Yes, it does involve hula hooping but you also get the snot beat out of you by instructor Dee Hoogenakker. She had us doing speed and agility drills, step, jump roping, running, lunges, weight lifting, abs ... I am tired just recalling the experience!

If you need to bust out of your workout rut, we highly recommend this class. Dee says she'll hook you up with a free pass to try an Energy class at any of the Fitness World locations in the metro. Call her at (515) 223-5111.

Keep those workout ideas coming - you'll have us whipped into shape yet!
