Staying Active While Cruisin'

We put in our fair share of steps this past week!

Our first stop was Juneau. 

We were told by a shop owner we MUST go see the bronze life size humpback whale sculpture. Oh, it's just a little ways down the road...... 2 miles later we found it and it wasn't even completed! LOL
Found this cool sculpture on our way to Mt Roberts tram. 



 The views were amazing. 


There are trails at the top that we hiked. 


When we were at sea we stayed active by dancing! The music was a lot of fun. 

In Skagway we signed up to go hiking to Laughton Glacier. It was amazing!



 Here are our 3 guides. They were awesome! Girl Power!!

We split into groups and we were the fastest, so we went farther with the head guide. I kept thinking "I'm hiking on a glacier in Alaska!" How cool is that?!



Back on the ship......
More fun music, more dancing.

In Ketchikan we went kayaking. 
And in Victoria BC we went biking!
And of course, the size of the ship means lots of walking! here....

 or here.


My fitbit stats for last week!

No excuses! Let's keep moving!

Pound Workout

I went to a pound class last night. I thought it was SOMETHING the instructors made up, but when I did a google search I found out otherwise. 

THE CLASS


Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out.

Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements.

Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to men and women of all ages and abilities.



Here is a video with the co-founders. Two women who were drummers!


I am completely uncoordinated, but the instructor is very sweet. I'm not sure I'll be in this class for the long haul, but it is always fun to mix it up!

Have a wonderful weekend!
