Mimi at SWEATVIBES

After a long week of me being in bed with the flu, there's nothing that gets my juices flowing like having the opportunity to teach, something that I love to do with all of the Vibers. I didn't know if I would make it through the whole class, but after seeing such a large amount of people sweatin' it up with us (40+ students to be exec, including 12 new people) for our monthly Vibes Birthday Bash, there was no way that I was going to let a lil' flu bug keep me down! The birthday bash is a special class for Vibes because it gives us a chance to celebrate with you guys (and there's nothing we love better than having a celebration). I personally take pleasure in teaching the class because it makes me feel that much closer to all of you. In fact, I had so much fun that when I got home, I immediately began working on a new routine to keep the energy going. Let's hope that I can remember all of the steps!   I definitely am looking forward to next month's V...

Ladies (and gents, of course). Let's talk about something. With the New Year fresh in our minds and the ink on our resolutions still not dry, let's all look ahead to the upcoming summer (although with the current weather conditions, I know it's difficult, but we still can dream) and a new you. Whether it's because of our busy schedules, the holidays, or maybe even a recent addition to the family (congrats to all of you who had babies last year and are raising your little ones), we just don't have time to hit the gym or attend VIBES classes as much as we'd like to and I fully understand; however, I'd like to point a few things out to you. According to webmd.com, in order to maintain your current weight, women between the ages 19-51 should have a calorie intake of between 1800-2400 calories per day. In order to lose weight, it is recommended that to lose a pound per week you would need to decrease total calories by 500 a day. You can't do that by wa...

As I awoke this morning, I realized two things: I ate too much over the holidays and my body hurts from last nights class! Then, I started thinking about the first GLOW VIBES class of the year and was really amazed. I’ve been teaching for a very long time and can truly say that I was impressed with what we’ve put together for you guys and how well you guys received it. There is a certain energy that I get when I’m up on the stage dancing and I could not do it without you guys: my VIBERS! I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about last nights class as I was wondering if everything would work (being that we were trying something totally new) and who’d show up. With the holidays just ending and the horrible weather (thank you snow for waiting until after class to show up), I thought that I’d get 5 students! On top of that, I was going to try out some new songs and was totally worried (so much so that I was peeking at my choreo videos during class, lol). Yet, t...
