Fitness First!

Last night, I drove out to have my first visit with Jon Hunt and 8one8 Fitness in the Quad Cities. Although the trip there took me a little longer than I had hoped, Jon and I had a great meeting on my next steps concerning fitness. I am excited to work with Jon and his team and cannot wait to see the results. As a former gymnast, I have a pretty fast metabolism (which is definitely nice) and a good work ethic when it comes to staying fit, which is really important to me. Working with 8one8 Fitness these coming months will keep me on my toes and push me to crank up the difficulty level. As part of our consultation, Jon had me go through some various exercises including lunges, squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and the oh-so dreaded burpees. No one likes burpees… but I’m working on changing my mindset, so cross your fingers for me! Maybe by the end of this year, burpees will be my favorite exercise! Wouldn’t that be crazy? Anyway, we worked through the short circuit just so he could get an idea of where I was at physically. As a student teacher, the biggest obstacle for me is finding a time to work out. I haven’t quite decided if working out BEFORE school at 5:00 am would be a better routine for me or if sticking to my AFTER school work out around 6:00 pm. Luckily, 8one8 fitness specializes in at home workouts which means if I don’t make it to the gym at 5:00 am OR 6:00 pm, I have no excuse to not do it in my own apartment! Thank you to the Muscatine Scholarship Program for allowing us to work with these phenomenal sponsors and an even bigger thank you to 8one8 for taking us on! We actually have been lucky enough to be one of the first group of clients to work out in the new location. Look up 8one8 Fitness to find out information on their methods of training and the more!
