I’m partially back from maternity leave. By partially I mean that Little Vinnie is sleeping long enough in his swing for me to actually get in a workout AND write a post for you all. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a new routine!

I think I have a favorite new workout. On Monday, I opened my new Boot Camp location in Seattle and I knew I had to have a special first day workout. With Some inspiration from another Boot Camp owner, Monty, who runs his camp in North Carolina, I came up with something magnificent. And by magnificent, I mean it will leave you huffin & puffin and possibly sore for days. That’s the meaning of magnificent, right?
