I haven't posted in about two weeks, but I have been doing Daily Burn every day. I take Zumba classes on Mondays and Thursdays, so I do the DB workouts on my non-Zumba days. Even though I haven't posted, I did take some notes on previous workouts and I wanted to share them before talking about today's workout.
I had a four-day weekend during the Memorial holiday a few weeks ago and I made it a point to do DB each day.
There was kickboxing on May 27 which I did live that day because I was off from work. On Saturday, May 28, Dara Theodore taught the class and brought a great deal of energy. She reminded us that the Memorial Day holiday makes her feel grateful for all she has.
Sunday, May 29 was led by Erika Shannon who did a linear workout which involved balance, coordination and rotation. I always like the Sunday routines because they seem more laid back than during the week, but at the same time challenging. While the Sunday routines are not as intense as the weekday ones, the workouts involve different muscles and different balances which challenge and motivate me.
Now we get to Monday, May 30 -- Memorial Day. Host J.D. said Mondays are usually "Never Miss a Monday" workout -- and especially on Memorial Day when they have ALL SIX trainers in the studio. They each took turns doing a few minutes each. Gregg Cook started it off with the warmup and Pheonix Carnevale followed it with Martial Arts. Erika Shannon worked our arms and Prince Brathwaite made our legs stronger with Jack Squats. Dara Theodore followed with a good core workout and Becca led our cool-down. The highlight of the workout was when the instructors participated in the "DB365 Backyard Olympics." J.D. said these were games families could play in the backyards during a cookout that incorporates physical activity and fun and kids playing won't even realize they're getting a workout.
The first game played pitted Gregg against Prince. They had beanbags set at various intervals that they had to run to, pick up with their mouth and drop in a box. The first one to pick up all beanbags wins. Gregg came out the victor here.
The second game was "Balloon Burpee" and it was Dara vs. Phoenix. They had to throw a balloon in the air and proceed to do one burpee and catch the balloon before it hit the ground. First one to complete three burpees wins. Dara could not catch the balloon quickly enough and Pheonix won the game.
Finally, all six instructors played a game of tug-of-war. It was a lot of fun watching the games.
