I haven’t had a chance to do all of the latest Les Mills releases other than BodyPump and RPM (and a sneak peek at BodyAttack) but so far, so good.
I did RPM 54 on Tuesday morning and it’s probably my favourite of the last few RPM releases. The music is fun for the first half of the release (I’m loving “San Francisco”), then ventures into some weird territory during the interval track. Check out this song:
A lot of RPM instructors and participants have been complaining about how dreadful this song is, but I didn’t hate it that much. Sure, it’s not the kind of song I’d jam to on my drive to work or anything but for 7 minutes of intense intervals? Why not?
Nothing really stands out in terms of choreography, except for the power climb track. There are only two blocks of work but they are much longer than usual. Overall, a challenging release (my legs were jello when I hopped off my bike) but fun enough that you don’t notice. Definitely a good way to pre-emptively burn off the decadence that would later ensue on Tuesday evening.
In other news (well, it’s not really news), I made a cool fritatta last night:
It’s a mix of brown rice, sesame oil, sesame seeds, peppers, soy sauce and eggs. For anyone who’s ever had bibimbap (a Korean dish of fried egg, vegetables and rice served in a stone bowl), this tasted really similar, especially since the rice got all brown and crispy at the bottom like it does in the hot pot. Yum!
I’m looking forward to the weekend – I have plans to see a couple of girlfriends I haven’t seen in awhile on Saturday and Sunday so should be a nice, relaxing weekend.
Anything fun planned for the weekend?

Okay your fritatta is right up my fried rice obsessed alley! How did you make it? Do you cook the rice first and then chuck everything else in?
I laughed when I saw your most recent post because we were totally on the same wavelength with the fried rice! To make, cook 1 cup of rice, then add 2 tsp of sesame oil and 1T of sesame seeds. Sautee the vegetables (peppers and green onion) in 1T vegetable oil on a skillet for about 5 mins, then mix in the cooked rice. Mix 4 eggs and 2T soy sauce in a bowl and pour it over the rice/vegetables mixture, mixing for about 30 seconds. Cook without stirring for 10 mins, then broil for 5 mins. Makes 4 servings, ~338 cals per serving. Enjoy!!
Ooh yum, thanks so much! This is what I’m having for dinner tonight
Haha I kind of think Skrillex sounds like someone threw my ipod in a blender (and you’re hearing the metal grinding) but I don’t hate it…haha I love bangarang on my running playlist!
OMG that is the perfect way to describe it… LOL!!!
