What I am "F'd Up!" about today!: 30/60/90 class with Kristi Molinaro

http://www.306090fitness.com/
Oh. My. God.  People.  Want to get your butt kicked in an exciting new way?  How about trying 30/60/90, the invention of fitness pro Kristi Molinaro?  Yup, that should do the trick.  I did the class this morning at Equinox and thought I was going to die in the best way possible.

Kristi is fabulous, fit and strong with an amazing smokey voice and cheerful smile.  The smiles soon faded when the core section of the class started and my abs started to yell at me.  And then it was all business all the time the next hour of the class when we picked up the weights and started doing crazy plyometrics.

30/60/90 is like the name says:  30 second, 60 second, and 90 second intervals of super intense, athletic moves.  In this clip from NY1, Kristi explains that her program is similar to HIIT training, or high intensity interval training.  There are plenty of modifications, however, so I never felt like I couldn't participate.  The guy in front of me was doing every advanced modification available-- so nice to know that there is room to grow.

Another cool thing:  The class changes monthly, so you'll never get bored.  And if you get bored doing this workout, you may not be human.

30/60/90 is taught at Equinox gyms here in the New York area.  For a schedule, go to http://www.equinox.com/.

intenSatiday *boop* in the Park (I think it was the 4th of July. . .)


Chicago was the first thing to pop into my head! That is what a beautiful sunny day does to me, folks.

I wanted to extend an invitation on behalf of super intenSati leader Lindsay Davis to attend free intenSati classes in Central Park- starting tomorrow morning (Saturday April 3rd) at 9:45 am. The class will meet at the entrance of Central Park at 59th street/Columbus Circle and will walk into the park at 10 am sharp! Lindsay was chosen as NY1 New Yorker of the Week because of starting these classes. Click on the link to watch the really inspiring video!

If you have read my intenSati blog posts when I was participating in the Warrior Challenge in January, you know what a huge fan I am of the practice and how inspiring and motivating I think it is. These outdoor classes are a great opportunity to try it out for free!

Here is what Lindsay said when I asked her why people should come and work out in front of other people (gasp!): "Certainly, CP intenSati is an exciting way to think about spreading joy, positivity, an example of wellness and gratitude!! For students, we learn to get over caring what other people think and I've found that people who watch are doing it with such appreciation and amazement, like we're putting a show on! The FRESH AIR ROCKS!!!!!!! :)"

It promises to be a beautiful day tomorrow, so I hope you will come out and get intenSatisfied! For a full listing of classes and to find out more about the intenSati Method, check out http://www.satilife.com/
