Day of Love and Exhale

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today is one of the only days of the year that I wear red.  I don't really look good in it because I have red undertones in my skin.  I feel a bit like Santa when my face gets red.  However, I'm a girl who likes holidays so on V day and Christmas, I do rock the red.  (Truth: I have one red sweater.  I wore it for both holidays.)


I started my day with Core Fusion.  Yes, I can check off my new thing for the week.  The other day I bought a voucher from Gilt City for three Core Fusion classes.  I was anxious to try it out since I have heard all good things from fellow bloggers.  I took the 6:15 a.m. class because hubby was taking the kids to school.  I was up at 4:45 a.m. and out the door at 5.  (Yes!  I will likely be asleep under my desk by 2:30 p.m.)  I got to the Exhale Spa in the Gansevoort Park about 20 minutes early and met the instructor, Adrienne.  She has a 6 month old (not that you would know by looking at her.  You go girl!) and we discussed the juggling act of motherhood and fitness.  There were about 9 girls in the class and even though the room seemed small-ish to me, there was plenty of space.  We even moved around the room from the center to against the wall and to the front of the room.  All the movement definitely kept it interesting.  The moves themselves were challenging but Adrienne assisted me and others (mostly me) as needed.  It was definitely different than other classes that I have tried in the past.  Dancer-type variations to classic strength and flexibility moves.  I enjoyed it and look forward to my 2 other classes.  Note: If you decide to try it, wear socks.  That's one thing they told me several times.  

Me Before Class 

Now, a day of work followed by an evening with the kiddies.  I am going to try to stay up for hubby but I don't know if that will happen.  Remember, I was up at 4:45 today.


What's on your agenda for Valentine's Day?
