Gettin my fitness on

First post of 2013!!! Can't wait to share this year with you all. :)


Nothing better than an exhilarating workout! One of my first new year's resolutions was to workout more regularly. Lol...who am I kidding. It's my resolution every year. Every day. The difference is, I'm determined to keep it! Wish me the best y'all. 

But let me tell you a little about this asian woman who's basically my trainer. We've never actually met in person, but she's awesome. A cali girl like me :) Don't underestimate her bubbliness, smiles and overflow of pastel colors. I've followed her blog and exercise vids for a little under 2 years now because of 3 big reasons. 

1. I get tired of doing the same workouts all the time and this woman works hard to keep the new workouts coming!

2. She's an innovator who listens to her fan base. Unique mashups of cardio and pilates moves that cater to the requests of those that fb, tweet, instagram, blog, etc...with her.

3. The most important thing, is that it never gets easy. Every time I think the videos get old, I scream and yell maaaaybe a few expletives that let her know through the computer screen how mad I am that she's making me do a bazillion reps of whatever move. 

Hardest workout so far that I dread every time it comes up on her calendar? LOLO LEGS. Try it out:


Bubbly? Fun? Neon-colored Joy? Do not be deceived. You die every time. Lunges for days. I mean lunges. For days. 

Lol...this is how it sometimes feels like to me when she's telling me to go through the exercise:


This is how she came off to me today:


In fact, just when you want to stop or give up she says, "Don't you dare stop!!" 
Argh. So angry sometimes. Lol. But she's great. 

Much of her fan base are tweens which she's pretty aware of. That's why I love that she's a positive inspiration that believes, promotes and lives out good health, good beauty, and good strength. Give her a chance! I know she caters to girls and ladies, but her fitness schedule will certainly put anyone up to a challenge. Check her out at http://www.blogilates.com/
