I had a blast at the Summit in San Francisco, CA this past week! The TRX is such a unique piece of equipment. If you try it once, you will become addicted! It is such a great workout and you'll feel your muscles work in such a different way than traditional weight training. I met a lot of great people from all over the world. After 4 days of training, we all pretty much felt like family. Here are a couple of pictures.

We filmed "Total Core Pilates" 2 days before Thanksgiving. Everything went great! We had a couple of hair & mic issues (I KNEW I should not have cut bangs a couple of months ago!) but nothing a little editing can't fix. :) Of course, my wonderful producer Christi Taylor and her hubby Robert made us all feel comfortable and at ease. I cannot wait to see the final product!
Here we are at 5:00 a.m. with Santa
Getting the mic on and ready to go!
Here is Kristin, myself and Lisa (from left) right before we filmed. They did a great job!

I filmed my first DVD on May 14th in Phoenix, AZ. Let me tell you...I was so ready for this day! I felt like myself and my models were prepared and I had been waiting to do this for over a year. I was not nervous. I was so excited!
We filmed after Christi Taylor filmed her DVD, "Ultimate Cardio Core Workout". Watching Christi film in itself would have been an exciting day, but I got to do my stuff afterwards! Getting our make-up on, getting the mic all ready to go, and all the other stuff before was fun. But when the camera started rolling, the fun really began! I will say this though...the set is very, very HOT! All the lights shining right on us in addition to working out was something I was not used to. (This really came into play when we started our Pilates section. Our muscles started to cramp up.)
But it was worth it all in the end. I wouldn't have changed anything.
