Today I had the fortunate opportunity to attend a TONY HORTON Plyometrics class at LuLu Lemon in Santa Monica.  I was very excited that I would have an opportunity to meet this man that I have been spending the mornings with (via DVD!) for the past month.  Tony Horton is the creator of well known fitness programs such as P90X, Power 90, Ten Minute Trainer, and more.

After meeting up at LuLu Lemon, we walked over to the promenade and spread out to give ourselves enough elbow room. There were at least 50-60 participants there, with plenty of onlookers strolling about. It was a beautiful morning.  Crowds were hovering around Tony, of course, and I brought my camera just like everyone else, but OF COURSE I left the battery in my car! OF COURSE!!!  I managed to find the Lu Lu Lemon regional manager, Angela, to take my picture with her camera and she will be sending it to me sometime next week.  Thanks, Angela! I will post it as soon as I get it.

I totally brought it, which means that in the next few days I will probably feel very sore.  Oh well! As long as I'm not suffering tonight at my 20 year reunion, I can deal with a little pain.  

Now, plyometric exercises involve very intense movements requiring power in your legs.  They are one of my favorite things to do. Some of the squat-jumps we did were gravity defying! (If I can get my rear to defy gravity by doing these, I'll do them all the time, thank you!)  I love love love plyometrics! Call me crazy. It makes me feel strong and energetic.  Tony has an entire workout devoted to plyometrics in his P90X.

I had a chance to ask Tony if he had any advice in this business becoming a coach.  Among the things he discussed, the most poignant for me is that you have to be genuine.  Amen to that! I decided to become a coach because my neighbor purchased CHALEAN EXTREME a few weeks ago from the transformation in my body that she saw. And I know that if she commits to doing the program, she will have FABULOUS results like me, which is a very rewarding thought.  I have never felt better, healthier, and stronger!

Now go do your best and forget the rest! Ciao!
