Brea Getting Fit

I haven’t blogged much since I fell last week…probably because it hurt to workout…my palms literally throbbed anytime my heart rate got elevated. Interestingly, I did do some modified workouts during the week, but I was terrified to run again. Well…this morning I conquered my fear! I ran our 3-mile run (the same route that I fell down running) with Ish this morning and am VERY proud to say that I stayed totally vertical for the entire 30 minutes. I honestly felt like doing the Rocky dance at the end of the run. Tomorrow is a rest day, at least running wise. I am going to take advantage of my awesome gym and hop on the strider for 30 or 45 minutes. Cardio is SO very important, especially if I want to speed up the results of my barre workouts. I have honestly been on cloud 9 all day today! I even wore high heels to work!! I figure that since I’m on a roll…I need to finally get down and dirty and try Pure Barre: Pershing Square 2. I have been avoiding it because the workout involves quite a bit of floor work, and I wasn’t sure that my poor torn up hands could handle the abuse. Thankfully, my palms are healing well, and I think that I am going to go ahead and move past Pure Barre: Pershing Square 1, which is a great workout in and of itself. I honestly don’t think that my thighs have EVER worked that hard!! I was lucky enough to be given a copy of Pure Barre: Pershing Square 2 to give away by Carrie, and will be doing that giveaway in the next two weeks…. Watch for my workout review and the giveaway!! If you just can’t wait…or didn’t win the copy of PS1 that I gave away earlier this month, they workouts are now available at amazon.com! Buy your copy here! You won’t be sorry!! Carrie’s workouts are butt-changing! I can’t wait for my workout tomorrow! (can you tell?)
