Sneaks for me, sneaks for youuuuu
The stairs and I are not friends today.
Spinning gets me EVERY time! So good.
Since the Pilot was home yesterday, I was able to take a daytime class, so I went into work for 10 minutes of weights and 45-minute spin. My friend Katie taught, and her playlist was amazing. I especially love the features on our new spin bikes with wattage (how much power you’re exerting), RPM (revolutions per minute) and stage feature, so you can time yourself for certain distances during the workout. It made me work a lot harder than I usually would have since we had numbers to focus on.
After spin, I came home and we all went out for a little family dinner at Eclectic.
Meet the enchilada salad. Enchiladas topped with iceberg lettuce, grilled, spicy chicken, avocado, corn chip crispies and cheese = basically a platter of everything that’s good in the world.

So I’ve been meaning to tell you guys about the new kicks that Reebok sent me. I was definitely ready for some new teaching sneaks and was so excited when I opened the door to find a package with 3 pairs. One for Zumba, one for my other classes, and one for when I’m feeling a little wild ๐
The Zumba high tops are by far my favorite. The color isn’t too bright (but still something different and fun), and every time I wear them, I’ll get a ton of compliments and inquiries about where to buy them. They have a pivot point (awesome for salsa turns) and high support for the lateral movements.
For DJ dance and my strength/bootcamp classes, I’ve been wearing these purple sneaks. They’re super lightweight and comfortable- perfect for cross training.
I still haven’t tested out the yellow ones, but think they’ll be perfect for Aqua Zumba. (I’m getting certified in a couple of months and can’t wait!! I’ll actually like teaching pool classes now haha.)
Reebok also sent me this turquoise tank:
(it’s a soft tech material- awesome for Tucson heat), and these pants, which were a little too big. I love the style and fabric, but would definitely go a size down on these ones if you check them out.
Since I was so obsessed with the high tops, I emailed Reebok to see if they might be able to offer a giveaway for you guys. They offered not one pair, but THREE!
3 lucky readers will receive the Dance Ur Lead Mid shoes in a size of their choice.

I will spend it taking the dog for a long walk!!
I spent my off day visiting with family and a job interview!
I had to re-work my workout schedule this week to accommodate my long run, so I’m sneaking a little HIIT / strength in on my “off” day! Although I will be food-cheating and having Chinese for dinner. ๐
I absolutely love the pink high top sneakers! Would love to wear them to Zumba and other classes or just out and about.
Off day equals -light yoga, making some baked breakfast cookies and doing some errands all after work and some kindle reading. I’m late on reading the divergent trilogy books.
I am a Facebook fan!
I’ll enjoy the extra hour or so of free time to bake my husband his birthday pie! Yes he prefers birthday pie over birthday cake. So pumped about this giveaway by the way! I feel in love with those shoes the first time you posted about them but they’re a little outside my budget. Fingers crossed!
I’m doing a 10k this weekend, so planning to get in a few miles at the track today if I can, even though it’s an off day. Although…it looks like it’s going to rain out here, and I don’t want my shoes to get soaked, so I might just pop in a yoga DVD instead.
I’ll spend it actually teaching Zumbatomic. Not much of a rest day but I love those kids. Love your blog! You inspired me to start my own: afitnessprincess.com. ๐
These are so cool. I am doing Refine Method today.
Oh! and I”m already a fan on Facebook. ๐
I’m spending the rest day (or night, since I’m at work during the day) doing laundry and grocery shopping! Not as much fun as working out, but it must get done. I’m hoping to squeeze in some low-key yoga before bed to stretch out my body from yesterday’s workout too, but otherwise it’s definitely a rest day for me ๐
Those all look amazing! I’m spending my off day doing some cross country skiing ๐ Just got my skis yesterday so I can’t wait to use them! I’m also a fb fan.
Off day today includes a walk at the lake!

I didn’t get to work out yesterday, so my off day was technically yesterday ๐
Going to hit the gym w/ a shoulder/chest workout, and spend some quality time with the elliptical.
love these! I’m hopefully headed to a relaxing yoga class tonight! I definitely need it!
Did my steady state so I can sleep in after trivia night on Wednesday! Hit up the elliptical for some low impact cardio.
My obsession with bright sneakers would be completely indulged by these!!!
I tweeted about the giveaway!

I’ll spend today going to spinning class!
I will be spending my off day cooking and pre-portioning my meals for the rest of the week!
Going to the chiropractor for ART (active release technique)– great for my sore muscles and scar tissue that I’ve built up over the years training!
Oh my goodness I’ve been looking for Zumba kicks for so long now! I’m doing an at-home WOD tonight since it’s -40 here today (Canada).
I’m now a fan on Facebook!
And I like you on facebook already!

I am teaching and going to school but will be taking some quick walks around campus – then home to the hubby and my darling little guy. Can’t wait to see them! Then it’s homework and grading, homework and grading. Can’t wait to finally do W#4 tomorrow (I still haven’t had a chance to do it, been too sick!), it looks like a great one. Thanks Gina.
I am doing lots of strectching today for my off day and a walk in the long forgotten sunshine..
Hi! This is my first time leaving a comment but I’ve been following your blog for years now! Ever since I started reading in college (I’m almost 25 now), you’ve been such a role model to me. I recently starting taking zumba & hip hop dance classes 3x a week and found I was getting shin splits pretty often. I talked to the instructor and she suggested I try for high top sneakers to help support my ankles and take some of the pressure off. While I can’t completely afford them now, I adore the shoes you’ve featured and would love a chance to win them! Thanks again for always shedding a positive outlook and sharing your experiences with the blog world : )
A facebook fan now, too!
i’m going to the gym soon for strength training and a short walk on the treadmill.
I am going to be swimming to try and stretch out some tight muscles.
