Pound Party #RockstarSummer
Yay, it’s finally the weekend. And even better, I’m on vacation!
As I told you yesterday, I’m in Lansing, Michigan visiting my Grandpa and my young, fabulous “Grandma,” Paula. But before I dive into all the fun things I’m doing here, I have to tell you about a super cool party I went to Thursday night.
If you haven’t heard of Pound before, you need to get familiar!
I reviewed the class a couple of years ago but since then, the workout has taken off. The one hour class incorporates weighted drum sticks (Ripstix™) and hot beats into a fast-paced, heart-pumping burn session that has been featured on Today, The View, Access Hollywood, Extra, OWN, and even TIME magazine.
I don’t want to brag (or do I?), but I knew about it before it was “cool.” My friend Cristina Peerenboom, who I went to high school with in Tucson, is the creator.
Thursday night, she and her co-creator Kirsten Potenza, celebrated their increasing success with an awesome party at Momentum Gym in Santa Monica.
Unfortunately I had a prior engagement, so I was not dressed appropriately to do the 15 minute demo of some of their new tracks. But I can show you…

While the more dedicated people at the party were getting their “Rockout.Workout.” on, the boyfriend and I chose to go the lazy route and indulge in some free massages from Burke Williams.
It was heaven as you can imagine.
We also scooped up some delicious little vegan carrot cake cupcakes and tasty low-cal cocktails from Veev’s new brand, Vita Frute. Each drink is only about 150 calories and comes in flavors like Cosmo, Margarita, and Lemonade.
Fortunately for me, Pound is taught at Crunch gym on Sunset by Cristina and Kirsten every Monday night (despite how popular it’s getting), so I can go anytime I want.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you do. It’s so fun that you don’t even realize you’re burning calories.
Pound has classes all across the country. Click here to find one near you. Or try their online videos.
Have fun, and get Pounded.
Happy Weekend!
