She masks our tears and sweat with a solid playlist!

This captures our class exactly...JenniferEra is THE intensity Queen!

I’m noticing a pattern, either I am attracted to instructors that are ridiculously intense and passionate about their work and mission, or all fitness professionals are freaks of nature!  I’m going with the latter…it makes me feel more sane (and trust me, I need all the sanity feelings I can get…I’m a chick, we often feel crazy;)!

Before I started on this much more organized fitness venture than my own happenstance approach, Sundays were one of my favorite fitness days.  I go to a killer, Rock and Roll studio in the heart of Hollywood, called Made in La.  It is a little boutique that isn’t mobbed with a lot of people trying to network through the gym, or meet their next 30 second relationship…its sprinkled with people that are inside actually working out, and to killer playlists, thanks to the amazing Ms Wyatt, Jennifer Era if your nasty…(that was a lil Janet Jackson reference, and no, I haven’t heard Janet in the playlist;)

Cycling was killer, but she started our mix with an inspirational, but Rock and Roll song by Local Natives, called Airplanes…sign up for Jennifer’s blog and follow her fitness music choices!!!  As far as the workout…I was pedaling slow, and fast, and we were standing and sitting, it was a blur of tears and sweat…more sweat than tears…who am I trying to kid…it was more tears…just kidding.  She is awesome, and she makes you get out of your own mind for the hour of her class……which I need for sure.  My mind runs like one of those bad Bing commercials.

FOOOOOOOD!

I predicted it…I no longer have a food pyramid filled with different types of cereal.  The food police put a halt to that…I am now learning balance in my meals with whole food options…I had an egg, apple and a handful ONLY of Kashi pre workout! PROGRESS…I think;) (you can take the cereal out of the girl, but you can’t take the girl out of the cereal, that’s how that goes right? when in Rome!)

Don’t tell her, but I felt better in my workout, I felt full and didn’t have a stomach ache or get the typical distended belly look…(ps, that’s not hot and it takes a while to go away!)  Check out her nutrition tips at Nutrition with Tanya!
