No offense to the Y, but they kinda suck ass when it comes to getting some help unless you have a personal trainer. And er…uh…the way my bank account is set up right now “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Now I will say I get the most bang for my buck from my YMCA because of the Zumba, Dance it Out classes and the awesome indoor pool.

Happy Monday everyone!  So lately I’ve been reading nothing but stuff about how important it is to do strength training IN addition to cardio.  For the last 3 months I’ve been going hardcore with my aerobic dance classes which consist of Zumba and Dance it Out.  And my legs and butt are in the best shape ever, but my core and the rest of me are just…blah!  My goal is to tone up and lose another 15-20 pounds in addition to the 10 I lost over the last 3 months.
