It’s been two years since I started taking dance c

It’s been two years since I started taking dance classes regularly.One of the hardest things about learning to dance has been learning how to move QUICKLY.Another big challenge has been getting my left leg/foot to respond to my brain 🧠 as quickly as the right side does.And the third biggest challenge has been learning a new movement vocabulary of dance moves.There’s something so gratifying about being a beginner.Each tiny achievement feels so satisfying, especially when you’re surrounded by other people in the class who are having fun while facing similar challenges.I’m lucky to have such great teachers over the past couple of years at the @bayclubs El Segundo and at @theplaygroundla in West Hollywood.Finally being able to get my left leg to do the footwork as fast as the right leg 🦵 in this clip felt like an “IG reel worthy share” so that I don’t forget it happened.And none of this dancing would be possible if it weren’t for all of the strength training I do each week.I feel very fortunate that I know how to program my strength training specifically for the dance moves that are most challenging for me.A huge thank you to those of you who have been cheering me on as I’ve posted dance videos over the last couple of years.🙏🏼I can feel the love! 🤗🥰Wishing you all a happy new year filled with joy, love, and lots of movement! 🥳💗#hiphopdance #groove3 #neverstoplearning #southbaypersonaltrainer

I’m trying to be better about sharing things from my stories on my grid. 2025 has been all about doing more fun things with friends and less work.Here’s some cherished memories from a night out in West Hollywood celebrating my friend @taraaquilinastyle ‘s birthday 🎉.I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 15 years but must admit I’ve been quite a workaholic until recently so this was my first time experiencing the nightlife in West Hollywood.It was so much fun!

Just me being happy that it’s 74 degrees outside in December and that I’m in my garage gym lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ in between client sessions.Also, I’m trying not to wear black workout clothes so here’s today’s magenta and forest green ensemble with pigtails (instead of a ponytail) to make bench pressing possible.#southbaypersonaltrainer #lasunshine #benchpress #pigtails #yogastrong

On Monday night, I took a SUPER fun and challenging class with @smcjumps @jazzitupstudios3 in Torrance!It felt a bit like the high impact aerobics I loved in the 80s, but while wearing bouncy rollerblades. 🛼And while the boots allow you to bounce, each one weighs a little over 4 pounds so I was really glad that I include loaded foot/ankle training through full range of motion at the hip in my strength training program. 💪🏼Sarah Michelle is an incredibly gifted master trainer, and all of the students in the class were warm and friendly.And while I was the only new person in class, everyone welcomed to me into their bouncing squad with encouragement and open arms.I rented boots and @funfanadix was super helpful.He made sure that I had the right size boots with the proper amount of spring on the bottom.My heart rate was definitely on the high end for me because it’s a 60 minute class with lots of jumping.I currently take some cardio dance classes that also have quite a bit of jumping, but not as much as this class so it was a great challenge and I’m excited to come back and do it again!As you all know, I love being a beginner. Finding new movement modalities that I am not good at, but there’s potential to improve is one of my favorite things to do.If you’re in LA and want go to this class together, lmk 💃🏼.#kangoojumps #reboundboots #gloriagaynor #abba #iwillsurvive #torrance

Life lately…🐶Taking Rocky out for a walk on a beautiful sunny day in Potomac ☀️🎉 Flying trapeze class in DC with my niece Stella. Check out her layout! 🤩⚾️ Daddy (my brother) and Dad (Jerry) saw a baseball game down the street while Stella and I were in class.🎉 Night # 6 of celebrating Stella’s 12th birthday 🎂. Stella and Uncle Farzad both know how to stretch out their August birthday celebrations 😆📚Farzad’s first day of school so I made a sign for him. He’s taking a Shakespeare and Calculus for fun this semester.🪽Stella’s layout catch and splits catch at camp this summer.

True confessions …as a child I wanted to be in the

True confessions …as a child I wanted to be in the circus so I could fly 🪽I first tried a trapeze class in 2010 when we moved to Los Angeles, but it hurt my shoulders and hands because they weren’t strong enough.I was 38 years old.15 years later at the age of 53, I decided to try it again for two reasons:1. I visited my 12 y/o niece Stella for her birthday and wanted to take a trapeze class with her. She spent lots of time at summer camp learning trapeze skills.2. I knew it would be different this time because of all the strength training that I do.I was confident that my shoulders and hands were completely capable of supporting my entire body weight for a two hour flying trapeze class.You know how they talk about being strong enough to play with your kids and grandkids?I think this is a perfect example of that 😉TLDR1. Progressively overload your Deadlifts, Lat Pulls/Band Assisted Pull-ups and Rows alongside your vertical and horizontal pushing lifts and you’ll be good to go in a flying trapeze class.2. My weekly 4x5 Toes to Bar drills are no doubt the reason why I could do the knee hang / hocks knee hang on the first try3. Sometimes when you THINK you can’t do something, it’s because you simply haven’t trained for it. It’s not because you are too “old”.Strength is specific.When you train for the thing you THINK you can’t do, you WILL prove yourself wrong.What can you do now that you couldn’t do when you were younger?#flyingtrapeze #trapezeartist

Did you know that progressive overload doesn’t alw

Did you know that progressive overload doesn’t always mean increasing the amount of weight?It can be increasing your range of motion, doing a more advanced version of an exercise, progressing to not using grips on a deadlift etc.When you increase the range of motion, you’ll need to decrease the weight.That doesn’t mean that you aren’t implementing progressive overload because by increasing the range of motion and doing a more complicated version of a squat, you increase the time under tension and the mechanical work the muscles perform, forcing them to adapt and grow stronger.What are some of the ways you implement progressive overload into your programming?

When I have friends visit LA from out of town my favorite thing to do is to take them to 2 @bayclubs back to back dance classes followed by the recovery room and end with lunch @cafevidala@lizzymulkey and I danced our hearts out in the cardio dance class at 10am with @ambersusa then got our hip hop groove on at 11am with @nupeir_gIt was Lizzy’s first time in the Recovery Room so we did the trifecta of Normatec boots, the Hydromassage Lounge Chair and the Cryo/Heat Lounge Chair…so relaxing 😎Then we caught up on everything over lunch before Lizzy biked back home to Venice.It was what I would call a perfect Thursday 💃🏼👯

A perfect start to my weekend always includes @groov3dance classes with @azmanawi followed by the recovery room trifecta: NormaTec Compression Boots, CryoLounge+, and HydroMassage.I joined the Bay Club El Segundo in the fall of 2023 because I wanted to challenge my brain and my body to move QUICKLY and this specific location has 3 dance classes per day to choose from.While I love yoga, Pilates, strength training and plyometrics, my motor control/coordination skills needed a new challenge.My dancing skills were at about a zero-2 on a scale from one to 10 when I started so while each class I took was fun, it was also frustrating.However, just like learning a new language, I started to build a library in my mindbody of the commonly used hip hop moves and as I progressed the frustration levels lessened.I learned how to track the rhythm/tempo while saying the eight counts in my mind while dancing, which has been a game changer!Azman teaches on Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 AM. One of the reasons I love it so much is because we do the same choreography on both days which means that Saturday is the “rehearsal“ and Sunday is the “performance.”This video is actually the third time we did this choreography because he took a vote to see if we wanted to do it again (it is a challenging phrase IMO).We voted yes, which made it easier to remember the choreography and more precisely execute the level changes.I still forgot a transition or two, but overall, when I compare where I started in 2023 to where I am now I feel very accomplished!Thank you, Azman for filling our weekend with your expert dance instruction and community 🫶🏼🙏🏼.You are loved and appreciated!#Groove3 #weekend #hiphopdance #bayclub
