If you didn't get my recent email (sign up for the newsletter and notifications on the home page) then you are missing out on some epic fails as I leave my comfort zone!! Do you subscribe to my YouTube Channel? If so then you know what I'm talking about! If not, go subscribe now! Click here! The videos on YouTube explain everything! It's big for me to leave my comfort zone, as I'm sure it would be for you too, because I pay too much attention to detail! Sure, for some things that is great, but when doing audio and video....well...... it's just too much to ask! For the next few weeks, my goal is to do a live stream workout each day. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! I'm not at home and what I am doing usually takes all day for weeks and I don't stop until done. Now I am forcing myself to start or stop the day to do a video. Day one was a great workout but the audio didn't get recorded, you can think of it as a "silent movie workout" until I do a voice over and then it will be a "Godzilla movie workout." Day two, I stopped early to attempt (keyword) to do a yoga live stream at the beach during sunset. Epic fail #2! I forgot to bring some items to the beach, ok, I can still do this...nope! Too windy and cold! Which brings us to today! Day three-a nice yoga stretch, with audio (LOL). Me with alot of cracks and aches and ughs during stretches (watch the end of the video and it will make sense). Oh yes, and a yoga mat to the face a few times! I still think it was a good stretch class despite all that! Let me know what you think! Make sure you subscribe to the channel and get notifications! I might not always be able to give a heads up of the time I'm doing the workout, but if you are on my newsletter list you will get some notice (hopefully). Since there are a few "never used before" locations and workouts that I want to do live, it should be interesting and probably humorous! Here is a link to a quick video of one of the fails! Enjoy it!
