The workout high is real! It may be hard to motivate yourself to workout or to get up to make it happen. However, no doubt it will always be worth it.

I’m realizing the teaching high is real too. One of my students left my Pilates class this morning smiling as she walked out saying “I did something today I have never been able to do before.” That seriously made my day. I grabbed Logan from the gym daycare and treated myself to some free gym coffee. Coffee in Seattle is good everywhere–even at the gym. Her comment kept running through my head. On the drive home, I realized I am exactly where I need to be. I had a few days this week where I questioned my career path again. I couldn’t have needed the little positive reminder more today.

I still consider myself a newbie to the fitness teaching world. I received my Pilates certification at the end of last year and decided to expand my knowledge with my Personal Training License through NASM this year. There is so much to learn about how the body moves. I am hoping to keep furthering the classes I teach and have been fortunate to sub some barre classes last month. If you are someone who is thinking about taking the plunge into fitness, sign up for training in something you love and get certified. Start the process and make it happen. Even if you don’t teach once you complete training, it will deepen your knowledge of that workout. I promise you will take your workouts to a whole new level.

I was invited to teach a Pilates class through the WholeU a few weeks ago. The WholeU is program at the University of Washington that helps faculty and staff stay healthy, get active and eat well. I think this is something more employers should really work to provide for their employees. The class I taught included students at all Pilates levels. The energy is the room was electric. Kudos to the WholeU for promoting a healthier campus!

I also want to give a shout out to my husband for the kickoff matches of the tennis league he founded this year. Check out the website here to learn more. The Seattle Pro League will feature top men’s tennis players in the Seattle area. The first match is this Sunday at 4:00 PM at Central Park Tennis Club. If you live in Seattle and love to watch high level tennis, come on out! Logan and I will be cheering on Ryan’s team!!

Now off take a Pilates reformer class. Thank goodness for gym daycare!

You can find my new favorite yoga mat here. My sandals are also from Sanuk and feel amazing. Linked some of their amazing sandals below.
