November 8th… Do you prefer exercising alone or in a class?
I do not like working out in classes because I tend to spend too much time looking at everyone else.
With that being said, I work out better and harder in classes.
I miss body pump. It is a great workout that I used to do at the gym. I miss my yoga class. The energy in the yoga studio is what drives a good practice, in my opinion.
I can’t wait until we are working and can spend the money on the incredibly overpriced gym/ yoga studio monthly fees.
On a whole nether rant totally off topic, someone please explain to me why yoga studios are so expensive. My friend Tiffany, an incredible woman and yoga practitioner wrote about just this and why she is not a “certified teacher.”
On the right is Kristen. She is a teacher at my Yoga studio in Lake Mary. I haven’t been there since we moved back to the states. Right now, without either of us working…dropping $125 on classes a month just doesn’t fit in our budget. But, Kristen is incredible! Not only is she like gumby, but she teaches an amazing class.
Hopefully in the next few months, before I get too larges as the Prego woman I can find my way back into a gym and some classes instead of willing myself to do my videos at home. I know Adam too can’t wait to get his workout in at a gym instead of the park next to the house.

Shoot in the morning and evening when light is best and kids are freshest. Capture the candid moments between the posed ones. Let kids take photos too because their perspective is genuinely interesting. And decide in advance whether you want to be a photographer on this trip or a participant because trying to be both fully is hard.
The best camera is the one you actually bring. A mirrorless camera with a versatile lens covers most situations well. A quality smartphone camera is capable of excellent results with the right light. The difference between gear levels matters less than being present enough to notice the moment worth capturing.
Get on their level rather than shooting down. Chase the light rather than the location. Let them be doing something rather than posing. Burst mode catches the expressions between the forced smiles. And the photos that feel most true are usually the ones nobody knew were being taken.
Photo books made annually keep memories organized and accessible. A travel journal written in the moment captures things photos miss. Kids writing or drawing about trips creates keepsakes they will treasure later. And sharing on a blog or with family back home adds an audience that makes the documentation feel worthwhile.
Places where kids have something to do rather than just stand in front of. Markets where there is movement and color. Playgrounds in foreign countries. Beaches. Anywhere the environment creates the context rather than requiring a perfect pose.

I agree because I’m paying 120/month for my martial arts school , but that includes kungfu , tai chi , and meditation ; that is why I take yoga classes once in a blue moon !
There are some really good Pilates-Pregnancy videos out there you might like. It’s tough when money is tight, but you probably know a lot of the yoga moves by heart. Maybe you can do them in the park with a friend?
