MONDAY Turbo/INSANITY/ P90X with Caroline and Pat...

Man, we had a bunch of new faces, familiar faces and even instructors in there today.  Looked like everyone was trying to get that caloric deficit before doing it up right on this Memorial Day.  We took this class to the next level with Round 45, then Round 38, too many turbos to even count, some INSANITY abs/core and then finished it off with some P90X Football Runs...we need this more often.  See you guys tomorrow for TURBO with Melissa over at 24...this may be the last one there for a while as my kiddos refuse to go into the "Baby Room" as they call it.  We will see how that works...90 minutes at 1626 calories.

TURBO w/Melissa-Tuesday at 24

RIGHT ON...TKB Round 45, my FAV!  It was a "make my day" kind of morning.  Then I realized I forgot "to kiss myself" this morning.  Couldn't help myself.  GREAT class and the energy was insane...then again I would not expect less from this bunch of crazies.  Hitting it hard this week with Summit 2011 on the horizon.  Gotta look GOOD and this workout will do that for you in no time.  I love to hate the ab section of this round...works balance and core all at the same time...gotta hate it!  1 hour at 1026 calories...Caroline beat Melissa and let the competition begin.  Stay tuned for PiYo at 4:30 at FAC...sure to be a great workout.

Crazy TURBO at FAC-Monday

WOO HOO and HUMP DIDDLY DONE!  That is what I call a workout.  I was a huge ball of sweat before we ever got out of the warm-up section.  That's what happens when you party all weekend...you gotta pay the piper at some point.  There were a lot of you guys missing today...you can't enjoy the party without showing up to work on Monday...BOO HISS!  I think we did a total of 3 Turbos and a huge core and leg section at the end of class.  Remember, 90 minutes on Monday starting at 9am...be THERE or I will come find you.  78 minutes at 1080 calories.  Now that's what I call a BEATING!  Now, for the best meal of the day...SHAKEOLOGY BABY!

TKB w/Pat at FAC on Friday...

I missed you guys at HUSTLE but just could not allow the funky moves to cloud my brain before teaching class.  I do love my HUSTLE but I needed to make sure I had this down.  I will be back with you guys soon...this will take some mastering and being able to move from one format to the next without getting confused.  That is why I admire Melissa so much, she just flows and kicks butt each and every time.  We did get 3 TURBOs in there so major work on the caloric burn and you guys rocked the leg section which is not an easy one.  I know the ab section threw you for a loop but that will get easier when you get the balance down.  Thanks for a great class and being so forgiving...1 hour at 1011 calories...enjoy your weekend.

TKB Training Friday Morning..

OK, so since I know you guys wanted this new round, I had to bust my hump early and get these moves down.  The only way to accomplish that was to run through them about 3 times before class on Friday.  I TKBd in my kitchen for two hours prior to class.  I totalled an entire load of laundry and dang near passed smooth out after all those rounds.  2 hrs 15 minutes at 1763 calories...all before 10:30am on a Friday....welcome to the weekend.

Athletic Training CAMP PAT at FAC

RIGHT ON...you guys nailed those Football Runs tonight and we went through it not once but TWICE!  My calves were on fire and stayed that way for 24 hours afterwards.  That is how you know you worked it!  Push-ups were intense not to mention the leg portion of this workout.  I loved the new back exercises (ASLYUM) and the reach-arounds.  I know you guys will be doing those again.  You got to get sexy backs for those tank tops and bikinis.  IT IS SUMMER 2011!  See you guys next week for some intense cardio.  1 hour at 644 calories.

Wednesday TKB w/Deb at FAC...

TKB Round 45...insanely good!  Very few words can describe this round.  I have done so many rounds in the last couple of years and this is by far my favorite.  No matter how many new rounds come out, this one will remain in the arsenal.  Deb is an inspiration.  She rocked it only after viewing it for the first time 30 minutes before class.  Now that is AMAZING!  The Turbo section of this round is intense and fast, fast, FAST!  The 3 jump tucks in the beginning are a little difficult to master since you have to be right on as far as the count and music.  That will take some more time but we BUSTED the rest of it out.  Major sweat.  1 hour at 1022 calories. 

TKB Round 45 w/Holly at 24 Hr Fitness

Holly can rock some TURBO baby!  I wish I could retain that much information in my head without getting all confused.  I love the energy and the MUSIC in this round and Chalene never disappoints.  I was having trouble getting some Plyo in there with all the kicks but will work on that.  I think I may have to teach this one on Friday before we burn it out.  Not a packed house as usual which is why I ended up not being kicked or kicking someone so that was a good thing.  I think we got it now Melissa so CRANK IT UP!  1 hour at 1058 calories.  YES!

ASLYUM @ FitHouse

Monday night workout with my BeachBody peeps was off-da-chain.  Shaun T knows how to work you in a cardio blast, ab rippin fashion.  I had to take 2-3 breaks just to catch my breath and let my muscles regain consciousness.  HARD CORP workout.  We did the Back to Core video and then had little enough sense to top that off with some Tony Horton's P90X Ab Ripper X.  Gluttons for punishment I tell ya.  This is an awesome back (shoulder and deltoids) workout and I will be doing this again.  The ASLYUM video was 45 minutes and the Ab Ripper X video was 16 minutes for 61 minutes of grueling workouts.  910 calories.  We will see you guys next Monday night to do it all again.  DIG DEEPER

Crazy TURBO at FAC-Monday

WHEW!  Talk about sweatin to the oldies...more so sweatin than oldies unless we are talking about my age.  I did not eat especially bad this weekend so I have no idea where all that sweat was coming from.  But, I enjoyed it in a weird kinda calorie burnin way.  People had more energy today than the last couple of weeks and the INSANITY portion of the class brought on a tremendous amount of "crying" but they held fast and did what they had to do.  If you have been staying the entire time, this class has been running 70-75 minutes and then those of you on the "Lunge Challenge" stay after that and we kick'em out together.  So, you actually get another 10 for a grand total of 85 minutes.  That's a WORKOUT!  So, 85 minutes, 100 lunges at 1166 calories.  See some of you tomorrow for a REPEAT TUESDAY!

Turbo Pat...Fridays at FAC

Turbo Sport was a bit loopy today.  The 10:45 gave me a run for my money...I was raring to go at 10:30 but schedule had been changed so we needed to wait for the rest of the gang.  I bit foggy at times but we still got a good sweat.  Lunges, push-ups and killer abs to top it off.  TKB 45 is out but I know everyone and their mother will be doing it so I will hold off just a bit longer and continue the Turbo Sport so people get that "muscle and brain confusion".  It does the body good.  1 hour at 904 calories.

HHH at FAC on Friday...

Hip Hop Hustle 6...fast and furious.  Melissa was out and about in California but Tiffany held down the fort.  She took us Old Skool and gave us a run for our money.  The mic had some issues (as that mic always does) but we were able to move past it and have a great time.  The music on this CD is thumpin and the moves went right along with it.  Thank you Tiffany for a great sweat.  1 hour at 898 calories.

Tuesday PiYo with CAMP PAT...

My much needed PiYo never dissapoints and my body always appreciates it BY THE END!  This was a nice all around workout for upper and lower body.  We worked our tri-ceps hard today and then busted out 20 minutes of abs...I was so proud of them.  No complaints but lots of heavy breathing.  I know people don't spend near enough time on their abs so I make sure they do in my class at least once a week.  That is the center of our bodies and if you can build the strength there, the rest will come.  A strong core sets the stage for an AMAZING body.  Check us out next week as we will do 100 push-ups in class spread out over the hour...yes you CAN!  1 hour at 574 calories.

Tuesday TKB w/Melissa at 24

I HAVE A NEW LOVE...and her name is TKB Round 45.  HOT!  This round will kick your rear end GUARANTEED!  The choreography came easier than usual so that's a good thing...sometimes the brain takes a while to catch up with the body.  OK, more times than not.  It's a good problem to have, I would not like the opposite.  The music takes it back OLD SKOOL and it is cool.  You have got to check this one out.  If this one does not hook you, I am at a loss as to what will.  Melissa busted it out and made us SWEAT as we always expect when in her presence.  I pushed out my 100 push-ups ahead of class, THANK GOODNESS!  1 hour, 15 minutes at 1264 calories.  Take that ROUND 44!

FitHouse at A Loft Frisco-P90X Plyometrics

OH MAN...what a hard workout after TURBO which is hell on the legs already.  But, as I always say, what does not kill you makes you STRONGER.  The video is uploaded to my page for viewing on Facebook:  Patricia Gallagher Velasquez.  Check it out and then come check us out.  You can try these videos with us for free and see how much fun they are and keep that momentum going at home with the spouse and kids for a great workout and a BRAND NEW BODY in no time.  58 minutes at 996 calories and it did not cost me anything but SWEAT!

Monday TURBO at FAC

HOLA CRAZIES!  This has got to be the craziest class of the week no doubt.  If you have not checked out some of the videos from this class, go check them out on my Facebook Page: Patricia G Velasquez.  Then come join us for some fist pumping and sweat droppin FUN.  I did a bad THANG and held off on my push-ups until after class and that was a mistake.  They were way difficult to push-out and took me way longer than usual with many BREAKS.  I knew better so no one to blame but myself.  Round 38 (as usual) for 1 hour and then push-up for 15 minutes for a total caloric burn of 1076.  Not bad for a post Mother's Day workout!

TURBO FRIDAYat FAC-PAT STYLE

TURBO Sport 03 in da'house this morning.  MUSIC was CRANKIN and I love these tunes YO!  Not too much choreography to learn so you can really work on form and BUST A MOVE!  A little light in the numbers as they started dropping like flies.  It must have been the 3 TURBO's in a row.  We were all learning it at the same time so we kept skipping some sections and having to go back and TRY TRY AGAIN!  Good thing is you keep burnin while your learnin!  I love the guys and gals in this class...so forgiving and dedicated to getting a good workout NO MATTER WHAT!  We are going to keep this round for about 4 weeks until we get it down and 45 should be out by then but let's keep it a secret...we don't everyone takin our ROUND cause we are the POUND!  1 hour at 890 calories.  RUFF RUFF!

Hip Hop Hustle Friday at FAC

We are getting this one down to a "T" fo sho!  Packed class again this morning.  Every one must have had a GREAT Cinco d'Mayo!  I know I did so I needed the extra calorie burn today.  Roaring like a Dungeon Dragon and I am sure some stank breath too...I love the layering in this HUSTLE and it goes so well with the music it is easy to catch on.  Chalene is a GENIUS!  Great leg workout and works the brain too and lord knows, the older you get, the more you forget!  1 hour at 866 calories.  See you guys next week!

TURBO SPORT 03 Training

OK, so I am working on choreography for TURBO SPORT 3 for Friday's TURBO class at FAC.  This is not a big round for choreography and we are going to leave the Tempo alone.  I plan on keeping this round for about 4 weeks until 45 comes out.  This will give us a chance to learn it together and get the moves down so we can push that caloric burn the more familiar we get with it.  I am the only one teaching this round as I know so come weekly so you can get down the moves and we will CRANK the tempo as we learn it.  I love the TURBO section with the Burpees, Plyometric jumps and sound effects.  Its a little longer than the other TURBO sections so you get more calories burned.  The music is HOT so that is one of the main reasons I picked this round.  Let's KICK IT!  1 hour at 836 calories.  This includes the push-up section too.....YEA

Athletic Training CAMP PAT at FAC

Full class tonight...I LOVE IT!  Got in some major jumping jacks, floor touches, bowlers, lots-o-lunges and of course some push-ups.  That was just the beginning since we had 25 minutes of intense low-weight high-rep exercises to do.  With the class being full, I got hung with 8 lbs. which made for an INTENSE workout.  I saw pools of sweat before we ever hit the stretch at the beginning of class.  I had people in there just coming back from knee injuries, thyroid surgeries and even a freshly broken pinky toe...now that's dedication.  I decided very quickly that eating Tacos before class was probably not the best decision I ever made...tasting sour cream for a 2nd go round is not my idea of FINE CUISINE!   Awesome class.  1 hour at 878 calories.  It pays to LIFT!

Wednesday TKB w/Deb at FAC...

TKB Round 35 threw me for a loop.  Brain got a workout as well as the legs with this round.  I LOVE THE MUSIC in this round.  It's gonna take a few weeks to master those moves to determine where I can throw my Plyo in there to get my crazy caloric burn in.  I like the cool down section as I felt like I was in HUSTLE.  Again, ab section ripped me a new one which seems to be the norm for this week.  Deb loves her abs.  Stayed a little after class as some of my push-up buddies had to finish up their challenge for the day.  MAN was I glad I got mine out of the way before class.  Comical video.  1 hour 10 minutes at 1018 calories.  Time to shower and get ready for Athletic Training Weight Week...oh YEA!

Tuesday PiYo with CAMP PAT...

Talk about a scare today...class began as usual with a cold room and sunshine peeking in the windows.  My usual crowd and some new people who wanted to work on balance came in.  About halfway through class I noticed my feet slipping more than usual and thought to myself "man, it heated up in here quick".  Well, come to find out, the heat was turned on halfway through class and was blowing down on us.  People were sweating more than usual which is not all that safe for a Yoga mat.  At one point during our bowlers with a knee lift, one of my new members fell completely over...NOT GOOD.  Thankfully, she was not hurt and finished out the class.  I guess I will start checking that thermostat throughout the class.  Cool down was not cool at all...took me back to HOT YOGA days in a hurry...1 hour at 578 calories.  I am sure some of that was body temperature...

Tuesday TKB w/Melissa at 24

Best of TURBO with those crazy peeps at 24...front row is coming back in full force.  Almost everyone is back from injury and vacation so windows will begin to fog once again.  Room was quieter than usual and we determined that leaving the door shut keeps the sweat from pooling on the floor and the glass from fogging up...good to know.  This is a two towel class as I am slowly catching on.  One for the floor and one for me...The ab section in this round is killer and even more so after that Ab Ripper X we did Monday night.  Tony can rip you a new one on any given day GUARANTEED!  1 hour at 1184 calories.  BROUGHT IT! and push-ups done before class with Mrs. AMY!

FitHouse at A LOFT Grand Opening

CRAZY is all I can say with a strait face.  We had a great turn-out for some INSANITY and Ab Ripper X.  People did not let this crazy weather keep them from gettin their sweat on.  Introduced some people to the Healthiest Meal of the Day and gave them a little Recovery Formula between workouts.  You could tell they were expecting to not like it but ended up LOVING IT just like we do.  I met some new friends and re-connected with some old friends.  This is truly one of the best Beach Body families on the planet and you can be a part of it too...just say the word.  We will save you a spot.  54 minutes at 970 calories.  Now, that's productive!

TURBO Monday at FAC

Gettin CRAZY in da right corner!  It may have been wet and yucky outside, but  inside was a PARTY!  You may have used the "kids are out of school" excuse, but some of us saw that coming and made reservations over the weekend.  If you don't start your week early, you will be playing catch up from here on out...I GOT MINE, how about you.  Takin it HIGH in the sky and LOW to the flo...  INSANE number of calories today and got my 100 push-ups out of the way.  1 hour 15 minutes at 1096 calories.  Join us tonight at A-LOFT Frisco as we bring you AMERICA'S #1 home fitness programs and goodies for the belly...no guilt cause it's all GOOD FOR YOU!  see you there or be SQUARE!
