Every Monday evening I take a workout class called R.I.P.P.E.D.  It isn’t as intense as it sounds….well maybe it is, but after a couple of classes it’s just a pure surge of endorphins.

This is what the website says:

This total body, high intensity style program, utilizing free weights, resistance and body weight, masterfully combines the components of R.I.P.P.E.D.--- Resistance, Intervals, Power, Plyometrics and Endurance as the workout portion along with Diet suggestions to help you attain and maintain your physique in ways that are fun, safe, doable and extremely effective. The deliberate combination of the R.I.P.P.E.D. elements and how they are precisely organized in the R.I.P.P.E.D. class format provide the basis for the One Stop Body Shock System, by stimulating both, different energy systems and muscles in each workout segment, changing the focus and activities every 6 to 9 minutes. Along with driving, motivating music, participants jam through R.I.P.P.E.D. with smiles, determination and strength. No boredom here, for all levels, R.I.P.P.E.D. is effective, it’s tough yet doable; R.I.P.P.E.D. will absolutely challenge your levels of fitness and endurance

and its 100% true. I love it.  The program is done in seasons.  At the end of a season the workout is completed changed up, thus never letting your body get used to one thing. That’s something I love about it, its always changing.  I love to run and have been for quite some time but it’s the same thing. I wouldn’t say that I have a short attention span, but I do get bored easily and so by having someone else change up my workout for me and force me to push myself, I can feel that I am much stronger than I ever have been.

I’m doing this for myself, but I can’t help but think that this will also help me be a better parent in the future.  And that is the end goal.  You chicks better watch out because I’m working myself to be the hottest mom out there (even if I am just a dog mom right now!)
