Real Workout

May 22, 2013 By Kelly Rogers Victor Leave a Comment

25+ years of running started catching up with my lumbar spine last year, so it was time to vary up the workout repertoire. Enter Leslee Blatnikoff’s RealRyderRevolution spinning studio in Birmingham, MI. I’ve added 2-3 weekly spins to my routine, and it’s simply an awesome, addictive ride. I chatted with Leslee about why riding feels so good and makes you feel so kick-ass.

“I’ve been spinning for about 13 years, and I’ve been an instructor for eight. I was teaching at a couple of local gyms and then I went to the Hamptons with my family, and my cousin took me to a spinning studio and I thought, ‘we’ve got to do this.'” For Leslee, what makes a class great is the music. “I’m a music freak and very passionate about my playlist. I really believe that music makes your workout, and I think that’s why people love my classes, the energy is just exciting.”

Dara-Lynn Weiss and Her Formerly Fat Daughter, Bea

Who among us does not have an overweight child in our lives–if not our own child, then a niece or nephew, godchild, or friend’s kid? But, in truth, few parents are doing much about it. Indeed, their inaction or inattention is what landed their kid at their unhealthy weight in the first place. The consequences are grim: over 1/3 of American children are obese, and childhood obesity, as we are constantly reminded, can lead to lifelong disease and disability.

Working with Kelly has been life changing. I've learned about healthy food options, their health benefits, portion control, reading labels, and how to prepare these foods deliciously. In just three months my eating habits have changed, my energy level is up, and I've lost weight even though I'm eating more food than ever! Most importantly, my family is reaping the benefits.

Kelly helped me figure out why I kept making the same bad choices even though deep-down I so wanted to make changes. We worked together to enable me to get out of my own way! By helping me adopt small, easy-to-reach goals to work on between meetings, I made steady progress that added up to major change over the course of six months. I am eating and living in a far healthier way than I ever thought possible. I feel amazing and my weight is finally under control.

Kelly helped me put in place a system of new daily habits that transformed my eating and exercise. Rather than giving you a list of foods or exercises to figure out on your own at home, she takes you step-by-step with biweekly meetings to help you create a new lifestyle. I highly recommend her approach if you’re stuck.

Doctors and nutritionists send you home with a “to do” list. Kelly helps you actually get it done. I highly recommend her approach if you’re stuck.

I learned with Kelly that small changes can make big impacts. She helped me prioritize my week and create a plan to get all of the important items on my to do list accomplished. Kelly showed a tremendous amount of support during our meetings which made it easy for me to speak about the aspects of my life I wanted to improve on. I would recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking to get on the path toward a healthier self.
