Work out with Jillian Michaels!



                                     

Wow this just got interesting!!  I was attending a conference in Washington D.C. to receive an award for my school and guess who showed up....Jullian Michaels.  She held a private workout for some teachers and I got to participate.  Lucky me....if you consider doing this lucky! This is the first time I have actually participated in a sport with a national celebrity.  As most of you know, Michaels is a well known fitness trainer that is part of the Biggest Loser phenomenon.  She led us in cardio strength exercises that wiped us out but I held my own, I'm proud to say.  Of course I HAD to take a few breaks to video this awesome experience, at least that was my excuse. Other than that, my legs were burning, I was huffing and puffing and working up a great sweat....which is my motto so I was enjoying myself quite a bit.  She definitely was motivating and very entertaining to watch (I mean work out with).  The best part was to occasionally look behind me at the other health professionals with looks of "I love this but when is it going to be over"!!  My favorite exercise by the way.....can I count stretching at the end!  Thanks Jullian for a great surprise.
