Motivation and Inspiration from the Pros

A good friend of mine, Kelli, recently opened her own fitness studio, Sweat, Cycle, & Soul. She offers group cycling and yoga in a trendy, fun private studio.

 I have been taking her Power Yoga class for part of my off season training. I want to get good and strong before I head into the Full Ironman training season!!


 This picture of me was taken today, during class. 


Tonight I attended the Talkin' Tris and Motivation Clinic at the studio! Snapple sponsored Pro Triathlete, Morgan Chaffin, was on hand to provide a little insight into training for Ironman Triathlons.

                                              
Here's Pro Triathlete Morgan with Studio Owner Kelli

Morgan taught a 30 minute cycling class while offering training tips for triathlons.

One tip included pretending like your down in the aerobars during spin classes and focusing on cadence.
 Practice makes prefect!



The second portion of the clinic was Yoga for Athletes.


We stretched, strengthened, and toned every square inch. She did a lot of hamstring stretching and upper body strengthening to help us athletes who tend to have tight hammies and weak cores.

 Me, Morgan, and Kelli

Kelli treated everyone to wine and munchies after the clinic. We all chatted about past events, training tips, training plans, and upcoming races. 

It was a fun evening! A big thanks goes to both Morgan and Kelli for hosting such a great evening!

Stay tuned for a guest post from Kelli!!
