Bike Retreat May 2009

When I first had this Bike Retreat idea, in my head, I thought- no one would go for it- am I totally crazy to think that there are others out there who would love to workout all day?... I was first slammed down with the idea some 4 years ago. I guess I asked the wrong person. So, I pulled the idea off of the back burner and said... YES, there are crazy people out there like myself, who would LOVE to work out for 4 hours in a day...YEAH!

(yes, I took this while riding my bike)

So, here I was bringing this slam down idea to my cleints 4 years later, ready for anything. I felt like I was back in high school talking to the popular kids, ready to once angain be slammed with the, "well, I wouldn't do that when I can go on a bike ride myself " stand point. I pulled out my courage and told my idea to my now wonderful clients. "I want to do a Bike retreat." They said "like riding to and from..." I said "yes, even better, there will be an hour Mat Class, then we will bike 12 miles, we will eat lunch enjoying each others company, and not think about how we are biking back till we get back on our bike and actually bike back! When we return to the studio we will then do 45 minutes of rolling out and stretching."

I saw the wheels spinning in their heads, and heads tilt, then I heard, .... "Yes, I would like to do that." yeah! the popular girls like me...they really like me! So, I had 3 awesome Ladies join me in a fun filled day of working our bodies to the fullest.

On May 5th, at 9:30 we started with our hour Mat class!

Here are the three doing their 100's. Look at the beautiful form on them! Inhale for 5 exhale for 5. Keep those shoulders down, focus at your knees, and CONNECT with YOUR CORE... very good!

Now, of course we have to stretch out our hamstrings, while we continue working our abs. So, what is better than Single Stretch leg Stretch... NOTHING

We are set in motion! Go Vicki!

We were so blessed for such a Perfect day! Sun was out, perfect wind was keeping us cool, and the trail wasn't too crowded.

There's Janan, bringing it in. Go Janan go!
