A few weekends ago, Saturday was FANTASTIC. Not only did I get to go to the Scarborough Renaissance festival, but I started my day out by going to FitCon 2014 in Waxahachie!
I actually found out about the event just two days before, by watching this video by Nick Wright.
I truly am blessed that I got to go. I met some of the most humble and intelligent people in the fitness industry (specifically YouTube, lol).
So here is a quick recap with pictures of how things went!
Nick Wright and his girlfriend were the first people I got to meet. They came in from Long Island and I'm so happy to have met them! Both are super friendly. I felt so tiny next to Nick... look at those arms!!
Bob from OlympusIron was very nice and full of energy. He also captured a quick video of us so maybe it will be uploaded to his page if he reviews FitCon.
Of course, Quest Bars had a booth out there and they were snapping pictures of people with their product. The ingredients list isn't exactly my favorite, but compared to other bars out there, these guys win.
Standing in line (yes, a LINE!) to meet I found myself behind Joe from Health4Thought. I talked to him for abit and got to snap a picture.
After waiting a few minutes, I got to meet Chris Jones from Physiques of Greatness!! I tried to be cool and take a flexing picture with him, but I think he kinda beat me. Super funny guy. He lives in Fort Worth so maybe Ill run into him again some time.
The last guys I got to meet were all the way from the UK... The Terrible Twins! They are so, so sweet! If these guys came in from another country, who knows what is in store for next year.
I was dissapointed that I didn't get to meet Furious Pete or Jonnie Candito, but hopefully they will be out there next year!
Who are your favorite fitness icons or Youtubers? Did you make it to FitCon or will you go next year? Natalie
If you've been reading my Week Of Workouts, you know I am serious about training. But until now, I haven't actually been following any specific program.
After watching a video from Tim over Jonnie Candito's 6 Week Strength Program, I decided I wanted to give it a try. With the program, I will be able to increase my weight for the big three: deadlift, bench, and squat.
The program is completely free, with the option of giving a donation to Jonnie if you try out the program and like it.
I announced that I was starting the program with a new video on my YouTube channel. I will be posting every week to update you guys on how I am doing!
Hehe, no, this post is not introducing you to another me.
However, it is showing off my new video that is uploaded to my Youtube channel!
I worked on this video for a project in my TV production class a month or so ago and thought it would be awesome to use as an introduction to who I am! Please check it out and subscribe and share my Youtube channel.
I hope to start posting more regularly now that I am a part of the#FitTube tag... I foresee recipes, workouts and more coming your way.
PS... This video is also on my new ABOUT ME page!! Go check it out now!!
Recently, I shared my interest with Diatta of Femme Fitale Fit Club to help with a fitness Youtube series.
Starting onApril 16th, a few fellow ladies and I will be posting a weekly video tags on Youtube with the theme being something fitness and health related.
A FitTube tag is 20 questions that each of us participating answer in a video posted on Youtube. Our first video is going to be about getting to know us all, so keep your eyes open for the upload!
This is the first of many #fittube tags, and I am really excited to be a part of it. I haven't used my Youtube account since posting my first yoga video... so this will ALSO be a great way to again become active in vlogging, lol.
Check out the great ladies who are also participating this round:
For years, I've been following fitness gurus and figures on Youtube. They often post workouts, and really these videos were where I started my fitness journey. They made it so simple: I didn't have to put together my own routine, I just needed to follow along with them!
I honestly have to say that the first few workouts I discovered online were from Cassey, from Blogilates. I started with her beginner workouts and they kicked my butt! Now I can do her advanced workouts and still enjoy the burn. What really got me loving her channel in general was her cute, bubbly personality... she never made me feel dumb or uncoordinated, like so many trainers will. It was like I had made a new best friend, and she was right there next to me working out!
So, for a while now I have really been wanting to start a Youtube channel of my own. I wanted to post videos in a nice, fun way, so that I can also help people start (or continue) their fitness journey through online workouts! This is exactly what I did yesterday...
Along with fitness workouts, I also use online yoga videos. Yesterday I had planned to use one of these videos... but then I thought, why not create one of my own? I had done it before (More on the details of my first ever self-instructed yoga flow are coming later!), so why not do it again, and this time film myself?
My sister helped to set up my lap top, and off I went. This is definitely a video from a amateur recorder... seriously. Besides the fact I'm really awkward, the lighting is a bit odd and the background not the best. BUT... overall, for my first video, I am proud. It could have been lots worse!
Anyway, here is my FIRST EVER fitness video!! A full 75 minute Intermediate-Advanced Power Yoga Vinyasa Flow. By me, the Clean Eating Teen!
Ahhh! Check it out! Share it, like it, love it, laugh at me. It's all okay!
