1,000 Steps Workout

Last N0vember when I was in So Cal, I got to do an outdoor stair workout that my boss, Chalene Johnson had created. I have to admit that I was nervous going into this workout as it is called The 1,000 steps workout. Chalene had sent a playlist for the workout for us to download to our ipods for the workout. She choreographed the workout so that each time you go up the stairs, you do a certain "step/move" for a song. Within, the 1st few seconds of the workout I had forgotten about all of those steps ahead of me, cause i was just having so much fun, stepping to the beat and climbing the stairs. I've found a place in NYC where there are lots of stairs and it's in a beautiful park waaaayyyy uptown, but it's so worth it for me to take the 45 minute train ride. I love doing this workout as it's such a great change of pace for me from the 12 classes that I teach all week. It's super challenging and fun at the same time!

I used to be one of those people that dreaded working out. I'm so glad that I've been able to connect with people that have a passion for fitness and have been able to share that passion with me. If you dread working out, keep at it and try new things. There is something for everyone. It may be hard at 1st, but remember, as with anything in life, the more you do it, the better you will get =)
