Since we are leaving tomorrow for vacation, I thought I would play this song in class today to celebrate!

Hot on a Plate SpinCamp!

“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”
-Albert Einstein

Wake up this morning to your best life ever. I see so many people in their days, full of fear, negativity, drudgery and lack of drive. What can you do today to change your outlook, your fears and your 'weighted down' heart? Shed that winter coat, add spring to your step and joy to all parts of your day, even the boring parts! Relish your routines, trip to the bank or house work. I say this to myself all the time, you can be miserable or you can be happy, the amount of work is the same. I choose to put my effort into energy, lightness and positiveness...what you got my Rockstars?

Today we will do 45 minutes on the Spin Bike, hills and drills! We will follow this with Burpee broad jumps and sprints outside...


Here is how it will work...


Burpee Broad Jump 10 then sprint to the fence and back, repeat....
I think there is GREAT JOY is that! 


SONG OF THE DAY! Love to use this song to sprints in Cycle Class, I also love it to run to when I have my ipod!

How’s your nutrition looking so far this year? Remember, you will never train hard enough to overcome poor nutritional habits? Try getting the grains out of your diet if you are trying to reduce body fat, recover faster, have less joint inflammation, the list goes on and on. 

It’s been too hard living but I’m afraid to die
Cuz I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky
It’s been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change gon’ come oh yes it will

“To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can’t just accept the ones you like.” -Mike Gafka

I am looking forward to today's workout, I plan to try to do most of it, I am still struggling with chest exercises, so, I will go easy on those. 

For time:
150 Push Ups
Every time you stop and rest with your chest on the ground this constitutes a penalty. If a penalty is counted, you must immediately do 10 tuck Jumps. Once the penalty is completed continue with the push ups.
You can rest in a pike position (the top of a push up) but once you can not do push ups any longer and need to rest on the ground, a penalty is counted and a complete 10 tuck Jumps

Push Ups are hand release.

THEN!

10 Rounds of:
5 SDHP
10 Heavy Chest press 
10 Heavy KB swings
10 Jump Squats
10 Squat Box Jumps
*15min time limit...gotta hit some core!

Someone was asking about my protein pancake recipe...check out some of my favorites here:

Recipe..Protein Pancakes
One of the best ways to keep your nutrition is to PLAN AHEAD! The only way I can keep from eating junk, keep my protein high and keep it clean is to plan ahead, I cook all my protein in advance, always have green stuff on hand and keep foods in the fridge that I can grab. Protein Pancakes are one GO TO! Make tons in advance, put them in containers in the fridge and grab when ready.  You can warm up as you go out the door if you are hungry, and eat on the go.
if you have any great recipes, I would love to get them!
