In case you missed any of the previous Fitbloggin’ recaps…
Which leaves me with Day II and Day III to recap. Yowza. Let’s see if I can do Day II its justice.
Friday night, I slept like a champ. In fact, I set an alarm to wake up for an early morning run. Yeah – that didn’t happen. I was completely fine with that choice – sleep might very well be my favorite part of the day. (Does that sound sad?)
After setting up the fitmixer table, we saw how close we were to the JumpSport trampoline workout, so Tina and I joined in at the back of the class.
That’s Tina. She likes posing like this (see banana). I like it when she poses like that. -> Tina = down to earth, hilarious, nice and beautiful. I have a girl crush.
We have JumpSport trampolines at the fitness center here in Franklin (about 8 or so). I use them with clients periodically, but never as an entire workout piece. I’m seriously considering STARTING A TRAMPOLINE CLASS at FHFC! This workout was NO JOKE! Dare I say, it was my favorite of the weekend. Yes, I dare.
Set up as a partner workout, we traded off time on and off the trampoline. The partner on the trampoline did various jumps, up/down planks, dips, etc., while the partner on the ground performed burpees, squats, and various core movements.
There *may* have been some dancing….

After jumping our little hearts out, it was time to sample some fitmixer!
The attendees LOVED this product – we had over 250,000 impressions from our #fitmixerfun hashtag! We chilled the water bottles in our bathtub the night before, so the water was cold when we mixed in the aminos.
Sometime during the sampling, I slipped away for breakfast.
Plus seconds. I was starving this whole trip!
After I ate, it was time to digest with a little ZUMBA and Fitfluential fun. Fact= hip movements help with digestion. Fact= I just made that up.
Jill – so happy!
After our assigned booth time (7:00AM-11:30AM), I headed upstairs for a shower. Ran into Laura on the way.
I’d been hoping to meet her – us mamas have to stick together. She’s lovely. I already knew that.
A quick shower and chat with Travis (side story – I asked Travis where my kids were and he said he didn’t know. ?!?!? Apparently my mom kidnapped them for the entire weekend, so my time away was actually a little mini-vacation for Travis. And by vacation, I mean that he mowed the lawn and worked on the house.), I headed down to lunch.
Tuckered out and full, I went back up to the room, checked out the swag (see below) and took a NAP! Oh, a glorious nap! This meant I missed most of the afternoon sessions, but that was A-OK.
Nap over, I headed back down for Kelly Olexa’s session at 4:30pm.
I petitioned everyone to go out for SUSHI – something I rarely get around here. Using Yelp, I found out that there was a Kona Grill right around the corner.
In attendance, L-R: Sana, Hank, Brendon, Gabby, Meg, Bulubox friends, Justin Borucki, Bex, Jill, Bulubox friend and Ericka!
After I stuffed myself with spicy crab sushi (told you I would have Maryland crab while I was here!), Sana, Meg and I walked around the harbor. It was the perfect temperature all weekend – breezy and crisp!
Back at the hotel, I drank some kombucha and crashed around 10pm. I’m a loser.
Phew. Recaps suck. I’ve got one more 1/2 day to rehash and then it’s back to regular-rambling-Lindsay posts. My favorite kind.
See you tomorrow!
QUESTION: Sushi. Take it or leave it??
splendid…lindsay
Can we have a trampoline and Zumba class at Blend? Although I’d participate in any class if you were there. And fitmixer. :)
SUSHI! I love the pickled ginger…so I’m going with a huge LOVE IT.
It was so great to meet and chat with you!!
Sushi- take it. :) Loving the FitBloggin’ recap posts. So jealous of all your fun you had. WILL meet you in person someday lady!!!!
Sushi – Take it! Though I am kind of picky…
I recognize those faces… great job everyone!
The trampoline workout looks awesome! Who knew jumping on trampolines would come back as fitness like it was for me as a kid?! Love it. And I absolutely LOVE sushi! There’s a chain called RA’ Sushi and I love the specialty rolls they make.
A trampoline class is pretty much the most genius idea I’ve ever heard. I’m crossing my fingers that you start the movement and it makes its way to my gym in Rhode Island!
It was great meeting you Lindsay, hopefully I’ll get to know you better and even see you at the next FitBloggin in Portland. :) I look forward to following your blog.
xo, Jessica
I’m loving the recaps, even if you’re not loving writing them. :) The trampoline class sounds like so much fun – i think you should add that to the Blend 2013 schedule!! And I am happy to say that I LOVE sushi – of all kinds – again. :)
I’m so bummed I missed this! I was living vicariously all weekend through instagram, twitter and FB updates. Looks like it was so fun but exhausting. Are you napping now???
i belonged there. sigh.
i missed you so much.
I want to try those trampoline classes!! They look SO fun!
Awww, you’re so sweet, Lindsay! And I already knew that, too. :) So glad we could meet up- wish I could have had more time with you, the weekend flew by!
Totally agree on the trampoline workout, he made it intense. Loved it!
Fitbloggin sounds like so much dang fun. Now I cannot wait for the next Blend retreat ;)
Ewwww! Leave it!! I want to trampoline! That looks SOFUN!
I wanna try a trampoline workout now…looked so fun!
I’m hit or miss with sushi…if it’s really fresh and high quality i’ll do raw fish…otherwise i’m a tempura shrimp roll kinda gal. Best sushi I ever had was in Chicago. (Even better than the sushi I had in Japan!!)
I definitely want to try out fitbloggin one year! And as for the sushi, I’ll take it! YUM.
What an awesome blog conference! It looks like everything was so much fun and everyone was so nice! Stupid question but how do you measure the number of impressions you get on Twitter?
Very sad that I had to leave early and miss Kelly and sushi and more time with YOU. But hey- at least I have the memories from everything else! Amazing time.
And yeah- the Jumpsport workout was my favorite- I never would have though that a tramoline workout would kick my butt 100x more than Crossfit (and I know, real Crossfit is a bit more intense…)
xoxo
i’d say you are uber cool. naps and all! and look at all those fun cool bloggers. You guys are rock stars. Love the fitmixer crew!
I love sushi but that is not the same as Maryland crab!! (I’m a Maryland girl, after all.) You need to try real Maryland blue crab. Yum…
Will I be seeing you on Saturday? Hope so!
Oh I LOVE sushi… And I miss it oh so much. I know, I know, I can have the cooked stuff, and I do. But it’s just not the same. ;)
TRAMPOLINES! That looks like such a great workout and so much fun! and omgosh look at all that awesome swag! you definitely made out there! I rode on those dragon boats one in the harbor haha. so much fun! (:
Looks like such an awesome conference! That trampoline workout looks like so much fun! I would have loved to try it out!
take. take. take. no, I’m not greedy. but sushi is da bomb.
NEXT TIME I WANNA COME FOR SUSHI!!!!!!
I would LOVE to do a workout on trampolines — SUPER fun. Right up my alley!! :)
Looks like you had a fabulous time!!
Okay, the trampolining looks like too much fun! I’ve got to try that someday…… :)
