Day 1 of the D1 Experience
It’s late. I am tired and sore- so this will be short and sweet. Andrew was right! The experience was awesome. It was addicting.. The people are encouraging.. And boy howdy, do you feel the work-out.

My thoughts: D-1 is serious, motivating, positive and hard work. They use everyday tools to help you be your best. This is not dancing or movement class or walk around and get your heart rate up.. This is a fast paced training environment where you might or might not cry 30 minutes into because you physically can’t go another step- they encourage you EVERY step of the way- even if when your only half done. They were so glad I just showed up. I will not lie.. I completed warm ups (jogging 4 laps, doing lunges and other activities I can’t really describe then we did “mini-station work outs”. There were 2 -5 exercises I could do. There were 2-5 exercises I couldn’t do.. and 2-5 I just didn’t do because of my tiredness. As my leader (Tish) says “listen to your body”- so I made it roughly 30 minutes. Tish said.. I would be tired tomorrow. She was wrong. I was tired 15 minutes after I left… I am pretty worn out.
Hey, I did way more today than I have done in years. Ladies and gentlemen we will call this success. But, I am going back. Actually, I am joining a Burn it 2 Earn it Weight Loss challenge at D1. So, it looks like I will be sticking around till the holidays. Come join me. If I can do so can YOU!!
