Hey everyone!

Since this past Tuesday, my life has revolved around lululemon. When I met Tori she asked if I am the new girl working at lulu, and I said that yes, I'm going to be LIVING (note: not WORKING) at lululemon from now on.

Now, only 2 days later, I realize that my slip-up was quite prophetic -- as I attempt to soak up every bit of wisdom possible, I realize that I am indeed beginning to LIVE lululemon, which is great! I feel healthier already!

I start my shadow shifts tomorrow, but wanted to thank everyone who has contributed to training me -- by teaching me, watching me try on the whole store, showing me how to fold, answering questions, etc. I realize that this is just the very beginning of my learning process, but I'm so grateful for the team effort I've experienced so far. (And I promise many, many more questions in the future!)

I've also really enjoyed meeting everyone, and can't wait to meet those of you who I haven't yet. I already know I'm going to LOVE working at lulu!

Hey all!

Well, I finally went to my first real kickboxing class. I've been to kickboxing classes before. Just none that could compare to this. I even have taught group exercise classes that contained kickboxing moves. Boy was I wrong. Who knew you had to have a big huge bag that was attached to the floor and ceiling to have it really be a true kickboxing class. What a difference that bag makes. It's like trying to learn to fight by punching the air as apposed to a real person. Yikes!

Mauricio was great! Very excited about Lululemon, and really gets it. He took me around their impressive little establishment, and shared with me what makes them different from say a kickboxing class at a regular gym. That way, we can really promote them authentically! There were two other women in the class, and I must say I was a bit jealous of their pink and hot pink boxing gloves.

If you want to try it out though, don't worry about going out and making an investment right away in gloves. They will provide you with hand wraps and gloves. I felt so menacing in them. Be prepared to do many kicks and punches, and you will be sore the next day. A great workout and fun! I highly recommend it, and I will go back for sure! A great way to work off some frustrations as well! Not that I have any mind you, but in case you do!

Happy Punching!

Oh my gosh you guys! I did pilates on the reformer for the first time today and I swear it was so hard...I had no idea! I had to suck my stomach in and do all of these crazy hard twists and turns using muscles in a way I had never done before. It makes me appreciate how strong pilates people are and even though I'm a yogi at heart, I would definitely be interested in doing pilates reformer again--- I want to have that strong core!
