Whole30 Confessionals - Day 7 - Day of Exploration

A week on the Whole30 and finally feeling better, having more energy so I decided to explore:-)

After teaching Amped at the CAC, I went to Cats Gymnastics and did movements I haven't done since I was 5 years old, like back flips. Check Jen out!!!


After running some errands around 29th Street Mall, I decided to check out Orange Theory. After a little Q&A I decided to take the 12:30 class (FYI: first intro class is FREE). They gave me a rate monitor and told me to jump on a rower. I don't think I ever wore a heat rate monitor so needless to say I needed to remember this moment.


Do I feel really self-consious about posting this video?
Hell Yes.
Why?
Because my crazy 'Little Chatty Doll' in the back of my head is telling me I look fat and to 'suck in my stomach and re-take the video' again. 
Did I?
No, because I need to train myself to shut her up so I can embrace my body for what it is and all the wonderful things it does for me. 

Anyhow, using heart rate monitor was very cool, although I don't think it was too accurate. Below are the results. It states I made it into the red zone 29 times and tracked my MAX heart to 240 BPM. Either way, it made time go by faster and was interesting to watch throughout workout.


Alright, I held you in suspense long enough...

  1. When I did Orange Theory I couldn't get into the Orange or the Red no matter how hard I ran or rowed. It made me look like a slacker and that I am not! Ha. I did enjoy the interval running there. And next time, I'm throwing down a double back flip on that trampoline. Just wait!
    I really do admire all you do and your transparency. You are an huge inspiration to us all! Keep it up!
