No workout this morning. I haven’t decided if I am going to take the rest of this week off and start up on the weekend or if I am going to work out tonight. I have been thinking about changing my workouts to evenings for a while so I might give it a try this week and see what happens.
Ok, girls, here is more on the road trip. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely do it again. I thought it would be awkward working out in front of so many people but it actually seemed natural. I thought for sure I would be self-conscious about not being able to keep up or not doing the moves right. There were times I noticed I was on the wrong lead or going the wrong way but I just corrected it and moved on. I doubt anyone around me even noticed.
I did meet quite a few ladies but I can’t say I know what their names on the forums are. I did get to meet Mary from totalfitnessdvds.com. Not sure if you have ever ordered from her. I haven’t but I have heard of her from my lurking on videofitness. There was also 1 guy who did the workouts. I think he was there with his wife/girlfriend.
I also bought some firewalkers and bands while I was there. I had read that Cathe is clearing out her stock of fitness products so I wanted to get some of those before she ran out. Plus this way I didn’t have to pay for shipping and they were marked down a little. I also bought 2 shirts. I looked at the Feel Fit Wear since they had a booth but it was super expensive. I can’t believe some people were buying several items at $40 a piece!
During the Q&A session, I did ask Cathe a question. I asked her how she managed to get through filming the workout without stopping to get a drink or adjust her ponytail because I on the other hand am pausing to get a drink, catch my breath, or just tell her that no I don’t have my band ready yet. She said that they work really hard to make sure that the workouts look like one continuous shot but it can actually take several hours to film one workout. She says that when they do take a break, after they come back, they actually start from several minutes before they break so that they are a little out of breath again once they get to the part they need to pick up re-filming from. I found that pretty interesting.
I think I mislead you. Those pink dumbbells were not mine. I was standing in line to get Cathe’s autograph and saw someone bring those to her and thought it was a cute idea. If I ever get to meet Cathe again, I may look into buying those and having her sign them. I saw someone else bring a pink boxing glove for Cathe to sign. I am not that creative. I had her sign a picture from last year’s calendar and then also sign my name badge from the roadtrip.
I think the best part was the workouts. It seemed like during those times, I could just let go and relax and enjoy myself. I am quite introverted so while I had fun at the dinners, those were not quite as relaxing as the workouts.
Let me know if you have other questions. It was definitely a great experience and I would recommend trying to go to one if you can.
Have a great day!
P.S. Thanks for the a$$ comment. I think that picture just happened to catch a good angle as I was squeezing it there. It is a little more saggy when I don't flex. That's sounds weird!
