When life gives you lemon, make some lemonade! That is exactly what my rain plan provided me today.

Unfortunately the rain and wind kept my favorite Wednesday event from happening, Lululemon Run Club. To make matters even worst, my gals Melissa and Rebecca were going to join me for run club. I was looking forward to catching up with both of them.

Unfortunately Melissa was already on her way back to Long Island City when I texted her my rain plan. But, Rebecca was up for the rain plan. She had never been to Equinox so I thought we could make use of my guest passes.

We had an absolute blast! We chatted during a sweaty 45 minute workout on the elliptical before putting our abs through Abdominals with Angel Alicea. Luckily this guy is more bark than bite!

He was recently featured in Fitness Magazine for his excellent workouts. This 15 minute ab session put our muscles to the test and left us sweaty and weary.  Angel was great about correcting our form and kept us motivated with great music like Beastie Boys. After experiencing Angel’s abs class, I really want to try the class that takes place before it each Monday and Wednesday, Bo-Hi-Do!

The Art of Hitting with the Body. This workout entails a gathering of the combative arts (Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai) as well as Strength, Core and Cardio training exercises. Achieve a great workout and attain excellent mixed martial art technique.

Next Monday I’ll hopefully be a sweaty mess after funneling my inner Billy Blanks mixed with Bobbi!

By the time we parted ways this evening, Rebecca and I decided that we need to make this a weekly event. Working out with a friend makes the time fly and you always have someone to be a guinea pig with you when you crave trying a new class.

Guess what made my evening even better?
