Workin’ It Out with Jane Fonda & Friends

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you that I was invited to attend the first World Fitness Day, the brainchild of the fabulous Jane Fonda. Well, on May 1st I and approximately 1,500 people gathered in the Georgia Dome while 46,000 checked in via the live webcast as we got our workout on with several fitness celebrities including Billy Blanks, Denise Austin, Debbie Allen and Richard Simmons. To say it was fun was an understatement. The energy was high and laughs were a plenty while I sweated it out with several of Atlanta’s blogging elite. Here are a few pics from the day:

Debbie Allen still instructing people to pay – in sweat

The Pointer Sisters entertained the crowd after the workout. They’re still sounding and lookin’ good.

Harry the Hawk came by and showed me a little love

Bloggers unite before the workout

Jane Fonda and the fitness gurus – she looks fabulous

Is texting while exercising illegal? We all were tweeting away.

Ludacris came and kept the crowd moving

I didn’t find my old leg warmers but I did rock this funky wristband

Plans are already in the works for the second annual World Fitness Day. I’ll be there; I hope you will, too!

WifeSavers: Bringing Sexy Back

What do you get when you combine 10 women, 10 chairs, a few poles, some high-heels, the best sex columnist on the web and the most popular sensual dance studio in Atlanta? The BlogRollers’ first WifeSavers: Bringing Sexy Back event, of course!

A few weeks ago My BlogRollin’ partner, Christie, and I sent out an e-mail to a couple of our bloggy-buddies asking them if they’d be interested in attending the launch of our new WifeSavers series.

WifeSavers is a series of events and experiences for brides-to-be, newlyweds and veteran wives created to help them thrive in the throws of marriage. The series offers a variety of individual events geared toward enlightening and enhancing one aspect of wifehood including exercise and fitness, cooking, intimacy, personal makeovers, home décor and repair, and auto maintenance. Informative and entertaining, WifeSavers arms wives with tips, tricks and tactics to help them be the best they can be.

We were met with a resounding, um, hell yes! In fact, all the slots filled up so quickly we didn’t get to open it up to our WifeSavers VIP Club like we planned. So, last Friday night, ten of us got together to learn some new dance moves at Pole La Teaz in Atlanta. Our fabulous instructor and co-owner of Pole La Teaz, Ro, was awesome. Not just at moving her hips, but at encouraging us to unleash our inner sex-divas that so desperately wanted to come out. After learning how to work the chair, we sat in them, sipped some wine and chatted with sex columnist and author of "The Mominatrix's Guide to Sex: A No-Surrender Advice Book for Naughty Moms" Kristen Chase. Kristen shared some tips from her new book about recharging your sex-life and led us in a candid, ahem, discussion about – sex! It was informative, exciting and refreshing to tackle a subject that’s so taboo, but so important in marriage.
