Les Mils Body Combat Lunch and Kids Heath Expo

Well here was a busy Saturday. Michelle had a body combat lunch at the Plattsmouth Community Center. There was also the Kids Health Expo at the community center that Doug went to For McKnight Family Dental. Then to top that off Samantha had a soccer game that afternoon!

Michelle with Fellow instructor Sara A. They spilt up the tracks and each taught half. They get new choreography every quarter so as soon as they get one down it is time to learn the next material.

Warming up!

Kickin' it!

more kicking and sweating

RPM also had a lunch that day.

As did body pump.

McKnight family Dentals table. Rae Lynn was there too. Kids posed like they did something. They had fun at all the other stuff going on.

Soccer time. Yes, Samantha does have pink hair!

Les Mills Launch (BodyCombat)

We launched the new music for Body Combat on Friday July 15th! Holly & I launched it all ourselves. It was a lot of fun! The theme we went with was skulls and crossbones.

We had a good turnout!

These were all the instructors there on Saturday! I taught the new Body Combat all by myself.

The next morning, Saturday July 16th, Beckie & Geri launched RPM & Body Pump.

On Monday, July 18th, Beckie & I co-taught the new Body Combat. Fellow Body Combat instructor -Sarah Aschenbrenner also came to take the class! These are some our regular Monday Body Combat participants (we were lacking in numbers this day).

-------------------

I went to a Les Mills Quarterly (they release new music that the programs are choreographed to every 3 months) in Kansas City the weekend of my birthday. It was held at a Gold's Gym in Kansas City and we were able to try almost all of the Les Mills Classes - BodyPump (weight lifting class), BodyStep (Step Aerobic Class), BodyCombat (Mixed Martial Arts/Kickboxing Class), BodyVive(Mixed Aerobic Activities), BodyFlow (Yoga Class), BodyJam (Dance Class), & BodyAttack (High Impact Aerobic Class). Doug watched the kids and I rode down with a bunch of girls from the gym. We left on Saturday afternoon (my birthday) and then Doug picked me up in Kansas City on Sunday afternoon (so that I could be home in time to tuck Samantha in bed on the night before her first day of Preschool). Once we checked in the hotel, we decided to go out for dinner @ Chili's (one of my favorite places to eat)! The girls all told the waitress it was my birthday and she sang a very soulful Happy Birthday before delivering my Molten Lava Chocolate Cake (my absolute favorite dessert)! I roomed with Michelle Coffman - another instructor from the gym and we stayed up way to late gabbing! In the morning, we got up at 5:30 and ate a quick breakfast and headed to Gold's Gym to get an early start on the day! Since we were early, we got first pick of the Les Mills Clothing! BodyPump got us started off right! Next was BodyStep - which goes crazy fast - Michelle C. & I only lasted through 4 songs!! 3rd was BodyCombat - my favorite! After we talked to the instructors about what we could do better, I jumped in the shower and Doug was there to pick me up for the ride back to Nebraska. The rest of the girls from the gym stayed until it was all over at 6pm that night!
