TURBO FRIDAYat FAC-PAT STYLE

Packin the house again on a FRIDAY morning...it's CRUNCH time, just before the weekend.  We only had half a room today but we squeezed in and got'er done.  We were kicking this ROUND 46 today, let's not even mention the jacked up 3rd TURBO...I cannot for the life of me remember the jab, hook, speed bag around (NO WAY NO HOW)...so I just skipped it which of course threw everything else off.  BUT, there is always a BUTT...we had the rest of it down to a T.  Thanks for joining in on the "pumpin".  IT IS FRIDAY AFTER ALL...let's do it again next week.  1 hour at 1082 calories.

No Limits Circuit-Thursday at Lifetime

OK, so we set up circuits tonight with a push-up station, plank station, lunge with curls, squats with lat pull, in/out abs, dips, run-ups, planks w/knee pull.  We also included 3 football runs which were INTENSE by every meaning of the word.  Lots of squats, finished up with some core work and more legs.  Great class my new friends and remember, what does not kill you makes you STRONGER!  Don't make me blow my whistle!  1 hour at 792 calories.

TURBO @ LIFETIME...subbin for the QUEEN!

TKB Round 46 again and in less than 12 hours from the last time...PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!  Managed to stay on the stage the whole time for this one which is a challenge in itself since I can't walk and chew gum.  The lunging part of the TURBO is interesting, not a whole lot of room for error when you have about 3 feet to work with.   Can I just say, that sound system is the BOMB...best I have heard yet.  Clear and THUMPIN!  3 turbos and again, a fun bunch of ladies...I think they like slappin the floor too...he he he.  It was early but they gave me some GROOVE anyway.  Thank you for letting me take the thrown for Melissa...hurry back now.  1 hour at 1088 calories.  WE HAD PITCH...see the difference.

TURBO Sub at FAC...TKB Round 46

Well, if practice don't make perfect, then I aint ever gonna master this one.  It was a challenge doing this at TEMPO but pitch was not working and I tried everything.  It made the round easier and I was able to think quicker but it felt like SLOW MOTION in the warm-up...WOW.  Class was light (attendance wise) but we had a good time pumping it!.  We did 3 turbos since the 1st one was practice just to get the moves down...we did do them all back to back.  We completed (2) full rotations of the leg section as that is my favorite part of the round.  I kinda like slapping the floor too...knocked some jewels off my bracelet.  Great group of ladies...I hope they come see me in the morning sometime when I got PITCH!  1 hour at 974 calories...I NEED PITCH

Athletic Training CAMP PAT at FAC

OH Yea, brought the whistle to this one.  We set it up true CIRCUIT STYLE and worked hard...well they worked hard, I barked orders and checked form.  We did complete 8 circuit excercises and 3 football runs...they were sweating bullets (literally).  We  had a packed class (35 at least) and were stacked and planked on top of each other.  I felt I needed to change it up a bit and this did just that.  Thank you guys for your willingness to "try something new" and get out of your "comfort zone"...I know you are feeling it today. 1 hour at 750 and they worked a lot harder than I did...8 circuits (push-ups, dips, planks, crunches, stability ball, etc) on top of all that.  GREAT JOB!  I clocked (1) football run at 4 min and 37 seconds and 76 calories...depending on how hard you work and how fast you move your feet will give you an even bigger number.

TURBO Wed w/Deb at FAC...

YES, Round 46 is coming right along.  Deb changes hers up a bit so hopefully not too confusing.  I hope the choreography for the TURBO that I posted yesterday helped.  You guys looked awesome and right on cue.  I was amazed at my energy level since this is Day 1 of my Shakeology Cleanse and will need all I have to get through the day.  Of course, now I have added another class to my day...not only will I be teaching HIGH CARDIO in Athletic Training this evening but I will also be staying and subbing TURBO right after...2 hours back-to-back...what was I thinking starting this cleanse right now.  But you know what, no better time than the present because something will always come up anyway...you just gotta do it.  Hopefully I will see some of you guys this evening.  More later!  1 hour at 1172 calories.

PiYo Tuesday at FAC...

Great numbers today guys.  I loved seeing some of my TURBO peeps trying the format out for the first time.  This will make you way stronger for those jump tucks, burpees and air jacks.  We did lots of the Plyo section today and TONS of push-ups.  We even managed to get some core in there.  This was the most people I have seen since Summer hit so GREAT NEWS there.  Sorry about the mic and volume issue.  I will get their earlier next week so I can play with it a little more and  see if we can't get it  to work for us.  It's a little hard staying within the PiYo character when I have to scream and I was afraid if I touched that volume control one more time,  you would have lost the other ear.  1 hour at 680 calories.

TUESDAY TKB w/Holly at 24 Frisco

I LOVE it when Holly teaches me a new round.  I have been stumbling my way through this round mainly because I have not been able to take from another instructor.  You can only do so much TURBO on your own before you need to apply it.  Holly breaks it down and slows it down so you can get it down.  Thank you Holly for subbing...REPEAT tomorrow with Deb...give this girl some TURBO 46!  1 hour at 1138 calories.  SLAP THE FLOOR SO THE KIDS CLUB CAN HEAR IT!

Monday TURBO at FAC

Get yo swagger on...simply put.  I just love the music to TKB Round 46...it just gets better.  I would have to say my favorite part is the leg workout, no wait, the Pump It section, no wait, hell I LOVE THEM ALL!  We got the TURBO down...YES!  So, I Guess we will burn up the next class with 6 of those right till we get the rest of it.  Thanks for the support, smiles and sweat.  You guys know how to ROCK THE JOINT.  See most of you on Friday!  1 hour at 1106 calories...and that was mostly confusion.  Good thing you can still burn calories running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!

TURBO Friday at FAC-Pat Style

OH NO...it wasn't pretty but still SWEATY!  Thanks for hanging with me sistas on that new round, we gonna get it yet!  Practice makes perfect.  Thank goodness we did not have any mic problems cause I was sucking some wind on those TURBOs and you guys had it down...I was having issues with the "BUNNY" but I got it now...ROUND THE WORLD burpees are insane.  Just when you think it can't get any more difficult, Chalene changes it up on you.  Well, definately keeps it interesting and HELL to the YEA on muscle confusion.  Let's go ahead and throw some "BRAIN CONFUSION" in there while we're at it.  1 hr of training at home before hand was 742 calories.  Then, the 1 hour of teaching at 1072...deficit baby!

Plyo Plus @ Lifetime McKinney/Allen

Playing catch-up as usual.  Man, this is one busy summer.  Hitting 3 gyms in the same week is going to take some time to work the kinks out, that's for sure.  The members at Lifetime were very receptive in having a "new" instructor for their class and were very cordial and they WORKED HARD.  The expression on their face when I said "MARINE" was priceless.  At least they knew what they were in for.  There were approximately 40-50 people in there with benches and weights.  We combined cardio (plyometric style) with some light hand weights (heavy reps).  We worked some major legs and they discovered what a Plyo JACK was all about...I finally got some moans and groans out of them which they gave me freely.  This week will be PURE CARDIO people so you better fuel ahead of time...you gonna need it.  1 hour at 750 calories. 

TURBO 46 Training w/CAMP PAT

OK, this round did not rub off on me the 1st time but now I LOVE IT.  You gotta find your own flare with these things and I did just that.  I am sure it will be challenging but you guys will master it in no time.  TURBO has burpees again and this time they MOVE AROUND THE WORLD...just when you thought you had that mastered, then went and changed it on you.  What does not kill you...makes you _______!  My regulars know what to put there...you want some of this...tomorrow morning at FAC @ 10:45...we gonna earn some CANDY!  1 hour at 908 calories!

Athletic Training CAMP PAT at FAC

WEIGHTS and CARDIO is the name of the game!  Did you BRING IT!  The ones that came to class DID!  2 Football runs...squats, lunges, push-ups, bi's, tri's and some INTENSE core work.  Not much time left to stretch but we were able to go a little over.  Great work ladies and gents...now let's see how Lifetime can hold up...wish me luck.  1 hour at 844 calories.

Tuesday PiYo with CAMP PAT...

Can you say..."the hardest PiYo yet"!  Well, Chalene tuned up the heat in Lesson 17.  HOLY MOLY!  There are so many layers you can add...we will be learning this one for more than a few weeks.  We never even got to the Plyo section.  The abs/core section was INSANE.  If you have never tried PiYo, now would be the time.  This will work every muscle in your body and then it will work your muscle's muscles.  NO JOKE!  1 hour at 784 calories.  Now, that's WORK!

TURBO Tues @24 Frisco...

Well, while Melissa was off being a movie star out in LA, we still rocked the house with Amanda...just not the one I thought it was going to be.  Never judge a book by its cover...I thought for sure this was going to be (not the usual)  but she ROCKED it.  I have no idea what round that was but it was GOOD and I loved the music.  I know it had to be older than Round 38 cause I had not done it before.  Great class and Melissa would have been proud...now off to learn ROUND 46...let's GET SOME!  1 hour at 1164 calories.

MONDAY TURBO...CAMP PAT STYLE

HOLLA...what a sweat fest it was this morning.  Thank you for joining me.  We turned up the TURBOs this week.  6 TURBOS and you shoould be very proud of your accomplishment.  That is no easy task for ANYONE including myself.  Slow, quiet start but you guys woke up around 9:50am...bout time!  I was finally getting some feedback and some thumbs up (probably cause you couldn't talk if you tried at that point).  Great leg section and of course, our famous push-ups...it had been a while so BACK AT IT!  Caroline would have been proud.  Remember, we are wearing RED, WHITE and BLUE to TURBO on Wednesday with Deb to show our support for the US Women's Soccer Team...we got this!  1 hour at 1170 calories.  HAPPY MONDAY!

TURBO Sunday at 24 w/Caroline...

NICE JOB!  We used TKB Round 46 warm-up music and it is HOT.  I can't wait to learn this round.  It's sitting on my desk but gotta get PiYo Lesson 17 down first...ahh the WORK!  Full class this morning and I think I counted 4 Turbos.  We did TKB Round 38 and used up the entire hour so not much left for the stretching.  Great Sunday start to the week...and by the way, I think Right Corner took'em down this week!  1 hour at 1126 calories.  That's HOW I ROLL!

TURBO Friday at FAC-Pat Style

Time to pay the piper for all the bad eating last weekend and you could tell I was not the only one paying.  We sqeezed in 4 TURBOs in the short time we had together and blew right thru some legs.  FAC was nice enough to open the wall for us so we could spread out but then I had to scream louder and farther since my mic was not a FRIEND to me today.  Rather than bust someone's eardrums when it decided to cut out, I opted for old skool by DRILL SINTRUCTOR means of teaching.  Not to mention, having (trying) to mirror some of the sections.  Round 38 (auto pilot) since I left my brain at home after only getting two (broken) hours of sleep.  Don't let it show and you have a way of working through it all with the pumping jams.  Thank you for spending your Friday morning with me...I truly appreciate all the support and sweat.  I know you could be doing something else with your morning...but you made the right choice.  NICE WORK...1 hour at 1126 calories. 

TURBO Thursday at LIFETIME...

So much for a day off...guess I will be picking another day.  New facility for me and what a facility it is.  VERY nice and the members are amazing as well.  I was shocked to see I am friends with a lot of them on Facebook already.  Small world.  Well, Melissa previewed Round 46 and the TURBO section is lots of jumping which I LOVE!  Being on the stage is a little awkward but I am sure I will get used to it like I have with everything else in this FITNESS world.  I taught the end of Round 45 for the 2nd half so we got best of both worlds.  I will be subbing for Melissa Thursday July 21, 2011 at 8:45am Lifetime McKinney/Allen.  Come check it out and show your love for TURBO.  1 hour at 1070 calories.

MARINE CORP Piyo at FAC...

Well, I was trying to go according to choreography for Lesson 14, my kids on the other hand had other plans for my brain (and patience) so I managed to get the first 3 sections memorized and had to "ad-lib" from there.  From the amount of sweat and heat in the room, I don't think the class objected.  Let me tell you, this class is never the same since I base it according to the energy and level of the participants.  If you have ever wondered what this format is like, I suggest  you give me a try...I promise full workout and a little soreness...I mean, what's the point otherwise?  1 hour at 684 calories.

TURBO Tuesday w/ the BOSS...at 24 in Frisco

This has got to be one of the best playlists in TURBO yet...Best Of - 3.  I understand it is not readily available...DANG IT.  I will be searching for that one...a bit challenging as I have never done it before but when you have the BOSS (Melissa Mc Allister) calling it, you look like a pro.  Thank you for the awesome caloric burn.  Numbers of attenance were low ( could it have anything to do with it being the day after July 4) but those few dedicated ones were front and center.  1 hour at 1108 calories...way to SWEAT and SWAG!

4th of JULY WORKOUT at FAC...

Take a day off...you must be CRAZY!  We had a packed class...new ones, old ones and all the ones in between.  Lots of buzz generated since this is our 3rd time combining TURBO w/some P90X and INSANITY/ASLYUM for a massive 90 minute workout.  You thought you could not JUMP one more time, you thought you could not SKI one more time, you thought you could not do one more PUSH-UP but look at you...you did all that and then some.  What does not kill you makes you stronger.  Spread the word and let's blow this format UP!  Thank you to all of those who took time away from your family and Holiday to spend it with us NUTS...we loved every minute of it...oh yea before I forget, I WON!  90  minutes at 1244 calories.

TURBO Sunday at 24 w/Caroline...

Some people are just so addicted to TURBO they can't even take a SUNDAY off...guess I would fit into that category sometimes also.  Caroline is perfecting her warm-up still (too funny since they are always the same no matter what round we are doing).  Good mix of gals and guys...love it.  You don't have to be dancy or even have a good memory...just keep moving and have FUN!  If you have not  tried a Turbo Kick Boxing class, you are not having a BLAST at SWEATING!  This is the trend of fitness right now and will burn up some calories each and every time.  1 hour at 1064 calories.  We KILLED it!

TURBO FRIDAYat FAC-PAT STYLE

Good morning TURBO peeps.  Finishing up our Round 45 since I hear through the grapevine that round 46 has shipped.  I think we have killed this round and need new meat!  That room was packed this morning, thank you for that.  I love to see people as addicted to this format as I am.  We completed 3 really good TURBOs, sorry the first one was my goof, but my front row diva saved the day so not a complete loss.  Share this blog with your friends to keep them motivated and hold their feet to the FIRE as we help each other stay healthy and live a FIT lifestyle.  1 hour at 1048 calories.  YEA BABY
