Today was day 2 of my Core Fusion challenge! I met Dori and we took a class called Core Fusion Energy Flow.

The Core Fusion website describes Core Fusion Energy Flow as:
Designed to shift your energy and improve overall wellbeing, Core Energy Flow inspires guests with a combination of yoga asanas that raise the body’s heat, intense core functional training to strengthen and tone the core and Qi Gong circular movements and stretching to move energy and produce a state of inner calm and balance. Previous yoga experience is recommended.

I was a little nervous to try this class because I tried a few yoga classes in the past and either did not enjoy them or felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I’ve taken maybe 4 or 5 classes and only liked 1! My mind tends to race, I get bored, I have no balance, etc. Dori spoke with the founder and he said that the class would be fine for beginners. I really do want to like yoga so I decided to give it a try!

The class took place in a different classroom than Core Fusion Open. It had a very relaxing feel to it. There was incense burning, candles lit, high ceilings, and hardwood floors. The temperature of the room was also warmer than usual. We took the class with Barbara; one of our favorite teachers. We knew she would help us and make us feel comfortable since we were beginners.

We were instructed to grab a belt and 2 weighted blocks. I brought my own yoga mat to class. Barbara showed Dori and I a few main moves before class started such as Downward Dog and Childs Pose. I was happy since I was familiar with the few poses that she showed us beforehand.

We began by doing several basic stretches and poses. We incorporated a few Core Fusion moves into the class which I really enjoyed. I was very familiar with the leg and butt moves we did. We also did planks and push ups throughout the class. I was sweating during the whole class!

We used the blocks at the end while doing abs. I had a very hard time with the abs section. It was similar to Core Fusion but I think the block made it even more challenging for me. My whole body was shaking!

We ended the class by stretching out with the belt. I have to say the hour flew by! There was great music playing the whole time. I did not feel bored once.  I liked that it was a mix between yoga, cardio, and the familiar Core Fusion moves. Dori and I both agreed we would love to take the class at least once or twice a week! Yoga success!

Dinner

I came home from class pretty hungry for dinner. I made a basic salad with carrots, cucumbers, and Sabra hummus.

I also roasted broccoli and Applegate Farms chicken strips.

I combined everything to make one big delicious salad!

Dessert was grapes, chocolate chips, and whipped cream.

I went into the kitchen to get a spoon and Daisy took over my dessert of course!

Tomorrow I am back to reality. I plan to take a few more Core Fusion classes this week to keep the challenge going! Be sure to check out Dori’s blog to keep up with her progress!
