Not Summer Anymore!

2009-12-27T06:54:00.000-08:00

Haven't blogged in several months! Teaching yoga for 24 hour fitness has kept me out of trouble and off the blog!

I will update weekly now, as fitness is my main business, heart and soul!

Hard to remember that it was too hot just in August. For San Diego we still have beautiful sunny weather but chilly, chilly, chilly! Nonetheless stay hydrated and nourished and keep thse muscle warm!

Hang in there my dear fitness clients and friends. Soon there will not be any fudge left! If all else fails, get out there everyday for a walk and breathe in deeply.

Also I have 3 dogs that will never turn you down for a walk or a trip to a dog park for a great play date!

Super Hot Days in San Diego

2009-08-30T10:24:00.000-07:00

Other than getting up at 4 am to workout it is pretty hot out here in San Diego. If you do, hydrate well , put on the sunscreen, and take it easy.

I thought about going to the pool for a water jogging workout, might still do that tonight, but thought best at 10:30am to stay indoors and do yoga.

This is a great time to head to the air conditioned gym!

Check out the website for free yoga classes in the month of september. September is yoga month. Go to yogamonth.org and look for free classes in your area.

Stay cool!

Monday Morning Yoga

2009-08-03T14:20:00.000-07:00

Great class this am. With the heat and humidity we are having I am drenched after teaching an hour class! Take care working out outdoors and even indoors. Remember to hydrate! When I get a dull headache I know I am dehydrated.

yoga at 24 fitness

2009-07-25T10:41:00.000-07:00

Well this morning I subbed for 24. If you have taken yoga from me you know my classes are not easy, but apparently I was easier, stretchier than the regular teacher! Hmmmm! I am going to take a class from this "tougher" yogi to get some tips and new ideas to make my sessions more challenging.

First Day of Summer Vacation!

2009-07-24T15:11:00.000-07:00

First day off and I am enjoying it. This morning I went to Jazzercise and this evening I will teach a yoga class for my dogs' Vet, Dr. Bigelow and his wonderful staff. I am now teaching yoga for 24 hour fitness. Besides subbing, you can find me teaching my own class every Monday morning at club Miramar 10:30 am to 11:30am. If you are a 24 hour club member - join me, take my class or just stop by and say hi. I am looking forward to this time off to workout, run, teach yoga, nap, relax, work on my patio garden and play with my dogs. I will also be continuing with my YogaFit RYT training. I'll keep you posted on just all that I REALLY accomplish this summer. Beside finishing up traffic school on on-line (no fun) ;-( , I will for sure get in a nap or two. Feel one coming on right now! ZZZZZZZZ.......

Spring Break!

2009-04-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Sure can't beat perfect spring weather in San Diego and spring break (from school) both at the same time! I could get used to this! I taught two yoga classes today, walked the dogs lots of times, rested, read, visited family, ran errands, and had lunch with my son. Hope your day was just as packed. Always get that exercise in!

More Rain on the way for San Diego

2009-02-13T15:58:00.000-08:00

Well, the wind has picked up and will soon blow in our next rainy weekend. Not complaining because we sure do need the water. I got in my main workout in, this morning at Jazzercise Mira Mesa and I will teach "Yogilates" this evening. How about you? Have a Happy Valentine's Day.
I have eaten too much chocolate already! ;-)

Rainy Weekend Ahead for San Diego

2009-02-06T14:17:00.000-08:00

Hi there everyone.

Stay dry out there if you decide to walk, run or bike in the rain. Otherwise choose an indoor activity such as yoga, Tai Chi, strength training, jazzercise, stretching.. WII Fit?

I subbed this week teaching yoga and it sure helped with the stressful week at the regular job testing diploma students, etc.

I just might take your Super Saturday class, Alene. Sounds fun. Amy taught "Yoga Plus" on Super Saturday. She must be passing that on to you?

Stay safe and dry my fellow fitness fanatics!

A new super saturday class

2009-01-30T13:33:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,

Thank you Carol for creating this blog. I have been wanting a place to connect to others about yoga and fitness issues and concerns. I am looking forward to sharing thoughts and questions with other like minded folks.

I wanted to share my exciting news with everyone. Starting with the May 16th Super Saturday for Grossmont's Adult Ed. program, I will be teaching an Intro to Yoga class. I am in the process of designing the format and information, but I will be focusing on de-mystifying yoga. I will talk about the different types of yoga available, go over some basic terminology and the eight-fold path that guides yogis, and how to use props in a helpful way. And of course, I will get the people moving with a wonderful class that will focus on alignment and moving the spine in all 6 directions. I can't wait! Please tell your students and friends you know that have been wanting to try yoga. This class will be perfect for them.

Namaste,
Alene :)

Another Beautiful Day in San Diego

2009-01-29T21:05:00.000-08:00

Hi there fitness friends. Please read the blog, comment, talk about staying fit, eating right, challenges, yoga, running, weights, aerobics. You name it! Write about it!

I subbed at a yoga class today. Good to be back teaching at Lemon Grove Senior Center. Such a great group and location. The focus of the class was on the Chakras and doing 7 Sun Salutations each dedicated to a different chakra! Then we did some sound therapy also based on the Chakras.

What did you do today?

Namaste

New Year Workouts

2009-01-06T22:01:00.000-08:00

Let's get starting working out regularly. At least 30 minutes a day, more is better. Building Brawn equals a better brain!

Run, Walk, Yoga, Lift Weights! It is all good and good for you!

let me know what and how you are doing!

Holiday Season Fast Approaching

2008-11-21T17:24:00.000-08:00

Well, this weekend I am taking Level3 of my YogaFit training. Two full days of workout and inner strength work. I am really looking forward to it.

Keep movin' and you will not suffer the side effects of all the holiday food consumption. Walking, running, swimming, biking for endurance . Weight lifting, circuit training for your strength, and finally pilates, yoga, Tai Chi, or stretching for flexibility.

And...build in me time for relaxation, meditation and deep breathing.

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude! All will be well!

Peace

Carol

October 31, 2008 - Halloween

2008-10-31T17:28:00.000-07:00

Pick out all the good "dark" chocolate, then Saturday and Sunday ramp up your workout. Of course I have been on a "Pre-Halloween" binge and I don't think I can take anymore sweets.

I will be teaching a yoga class tonight, going home, walking the dogs and then calling it a night.

Stay safe and remember to adjust clocks before Monday and enjoy that extra hour of sleep. This is a good time to change batteries in the smoke detectors, too.

Endurance, Flexibility, Strength

Well, I am back to work this week that 9-5 job, which is really 1:30 to 10:00pm job, that pays the bills. I am soooo sleepy but working out everyday nonetheless. I know the weather is hot but get out there, or to the gym or for a cool night walk... how about the pool? Just Keep Movin'

My ever so lucky yoga clients, you can hardly wait for me to share with you, right? :-) Til' later..... and remember...just keep movin' Carol

Officially on my "Staycation"

2008-07-28T11:40:00.000-07:00

Hi there! I am officially off work, on vacation, but since I am not "going" anywhere, the new buzz word for this is "staycation." Sure is nice to stay home, get up late, etc. However, getting up too late means getting outside to run to0.... late and it was another hot run! Nonetheless, I sure do love Miramar Lake for working out. My dear fitness friends and clients keep moving, working out, rolling out the mat, walking, whatever. If you have drifted away from it...get back movin'. til later....Carol www.justkeepmovin.com

Morning Run at the Lake

2008-07-13T17:55:00.001-07:00

I got in a great run at Miramar Lake this morning. The overcast burned off very quickly and the sun was blazing hot even at 9 am. After working out my client, Cheri, I started working on my new aerobics routine for the M/W/F class I'm teaching for the summer. A short nap this afternoon, and then a muscle relaxing bath are in order.

What is new with your workouts?

Some of you have shared that you have trouble logging on to the blog.

1) use the same email address I used to contact you about the blog postings.
2) Set up the account, password, etc.
3) Log out, then log back in, then I think your password, etc will work.

Good Luck!

2008-06-26T21:23:00.000-07:00

It seems some of you are having trouble adding to the blog or even creating an acct and then adding comments.

I will work on this this weekend to see if I can figure out what is happening.

One thing that I think is necessary is that you have to log out after setting up the acct and then get back on the blog page and then maybe your acct works.

More later.

Carol

Posting Number 2

2008-06-24T12:17:00.000-07:00

Well, I can see that we are all "excited" about posting to the blog. I think the heat fried our brains. I know I didn't even want to move much.

Much cooler today.

Is anybody going to share about their fitness experiences, moments, breakthroughs, miseries?

First Blog Posting

2008-06-15T16:42:00.000-07:00

Hello my fitness clients, fitness friends, family, etc.

This is my first blog posting....EVER! I don't even look at other blogs. Who has time for that? especially when you are using all your free time to... well...workout! that is not totally true. I have looked at my niece's family blog is is detailed with their very very busy family farm life.

Rules for this blog:

This a a semi private blog. That meaning, not open to the general public, only my fitness clients, fitness friends, fitness family, and those that you might trust to share it with.

Spelling doesn't count! We will count reps, and sets, miles, laps, inches, lbs, but NOT SPELLING!

Hopefully two rules will be enough! Happy blogging.

Today, June 15, 2008: Happy Father's Day!

POSTING: I trained three clients today, walked Annie, my dog, three times and I think we have two more walks in us still today, I updated my website (about time!) and I am doing some long delayed school work(procrastination...one of my many areas of weakness).

How are you doing today?
