Get Fit with wHIT

Here I am cooking dinner, listening to Pandora and one of Zumba songs came on! I stopped everything I was doing, did the whole dance (full out, of course) by myself, in my kitchen! I miss dancing, I miss teaching, and I MISS YOU ALL!!! XOXOXO

This was 1 year ago today! Who's down for a Clash Bash take two 2015?!! Ah, a girl can wish!!! Come to think of it... l I do get one birthday wish, right ;)

I woke up this morning thinking "man, all I want to do is dance today!" So I'm thinking imma turn on my Zumba playlist, hit shuffle, and dance my little heart out. I don't know whats more depressing...a party of 1 or realizing how much of my routines I've forgotten! haha!

Missing you all TREMENDOUSLY! XOXOXO

FitFam! Hello! Hallo! I hope you all are doing FABULOUS! My good friend is starting a Bootcamp business so we've been chatting it up about BC and today Dark Horse played on the radio so I knew it was time I checked in with you all :)

I've been enjoying non working life...traveling Stateside, hanging with my handsome husband and just livin' it up city style! When I was home visiting CA I fell in love with a class called U-JAM. It's like an athletic hip hop version of Zumba with thee BEST music! It is killerrrrrrr you guys. Like literally kills my body which is why of course I love it ;) My goal is to get my choreography together and start teaching in August which would make me the first and only U-JAM instructor in Manhattan! EEK! So stoked about this new adventure! Any who...that pretty much sums things up for now. I hope all is well in Deutschland or wherever you are

You guys--- I just took thee worst Zumba class! (I feel like such a bad person for saying this but I just HAVE to tell you guys because I am so heartbroken!) I haven't been able to dance in like three weeks so I was in DESPERATE need of some dance cardio fun. The instructor looked like she was hating what she was doing, only dancing to herself, played ZERO Zumba official songs and ZERO radio songs! I literally have never heard ANY of the songs she played, and I listen to all kinds of music! She even did one song where everyone had to get on the ground (which is a big no no to begin with) and do freestyle abs for 3 minutes!!! I.CANT.EVEN.!!!

SO basically I miss you all terribly and want you all to magically show up in NY so we can DANCE!

Side note: NY is WAY cool and I think I'll have no problem staying here for the next 4 years :)))

Fingers crossed that I'll be teaching sooner rather than later. Missing my FitFAM

Today I woke up thinking that not many people would make it to class...its 8:15 on a Saturday morning. At about 8:10 before class I apologized for it being so early and said I wish I could find a time that would work for everyone. People responded with it's really not that early, someone said its a lifestyle, if you want it to work you'll make it happen and not excuses. I had 3 woman over the age of 60 gettin' it, 1 person who rearranged her schedule and did a boot camp style workout before coming to class, 1 that commutes 2 hours total just to make it to my class, two that had Fitcamp right after class, 1 that had to leave 15mins early but still came and gave it her all for 45mins, and 1 who rode her bike to and from class which is about 30 miles in total. And those are just SOME of them that attended today!!!

I am amazed by the support I have received by people who have shown up to class and those who have reposted my flyer!!!! I am so thankful for the inspiration my class gave me today. You guys rock and inspire me to push harder!!! Already looking forward to next week 😘 Have a healthy day!

It's almost midnight here and I just made my playlist for my first stateside Zumba class!!!! EEEEKKKK!!! You guys, I am so nervous! Can my old Zumba students just magically appear here in 9 hours to give me confidence? What if I forgot how to dance?! Ha! A girl can dream ;) Missing you all....wish me luck!

Look at this sweet shirt my sweat sista ( Body Balance: Fitness by Mathea McKinley ) sent me!!! This is easily the best surprise package I have ever received!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mathea!!! I LOVE it and want to wear it everyday ;)

Today I represented Hiit & Run Bootcamp at a Les Mills Body Pump Class. You guys...this class was INTENSE! 1 hour long of pure awesomeness! Back, shoulders, bi's, tri's, quads, GLUTES, core and more with ZERO rest period! I am having so much fun being a trainee and getting my butt handed to me by these awesome Cali trainers!

Stay sweaty my friends.

My first full day back in the States and my Aunt invites me to her Zumba class....without a second of hesitation I said yes ;)

For the next two months I will be in my hometown, Sacramento CA and I have vowed to take every fitness opportunity I can here. Being a trainer I was guilty of focusing all of my energy into creating workouts for others and not so much for myself. Yoga, Barre, Pole, Crossfit, Soul Spin, Trampoline, Fit camp... you name it, I'm trying it! I have always believed that variety is key so now I finally have the time to practice what I preach!!

Missing my FitFam already...I hope you stay in contact with me and remember that I'm only a message a way.

XOXO

Where to start?

Never in a million years could I have predicted how much I would love this "job." I say "job" because not for one second has it felt like a job. I have had the time of my life teaching Zumba and Bootcamp here in Germany. It can be scary getting up in front of you all...I'm not the fittest, not the best dancer, nor the best trainer but you guys have accepted me for me and have allowed me to be apart of your fitness journey. Thank you for getting "Fit with wHIT" and for making this the hardest assignment to leave... I know I will love New York, but I can't imagine loving a community as much as I love you all.

When I first starting planning my going away party I estimated a total of 25 people coming. One because it was located 30 minutes away from base and two because it was on a work/school night. At one point last night we counted over 60 people...over SIXTY people...FOR ME!!! Calories were burned, sweat was dripping, smiles were happening, and tears were shed. That was my favorite class to date and a night I will always hold dear to my heart.

I sit here writing this with tears running down my face for so many reasons... One because I'm sad to be leaving, two because I'm so excited for the future but mostly because I am so thankful. I am so thankful for this amazing life I live.

Until we meet again, fit fam....Thank you. XO
