Pump It Up!

On some days you feel like you'd rather just sit on the couch and not head to the gym or out running when it's freezing like this. Solution? Make your home the gym. You can either do regular exercises on the floor or find a workout you like, the Internet is flowing with them. I used to love my mum's old aerobics videos when I was younger. I'm not saying that all these current workout routines wouldn't be fun but there's just something about old time aerobics and dancing. I found one of the most fun workouts I've ever done. It's called Pump It Up and it's performed by the Call On Me-video girls. You remember that song right? I sure remember that was one of the most played songs on my playlist back then. And everyone remembers that dance routine right? Try doing that after almost an hour of cardio. It's fun I gotta admit it but not as easy as it looks. So why not try this? You can skip any parts you like, it's divided into several sections. You can get a good workout done even if you finish when the hour is up and the cool down starts. Every wondered why the dancers on the video dress in next to nothing? Cause when you do it properly you get hot! It even inspired me to get my leg warmers out and dress the same. And it was enough. It's a total body workout, real cardio. But I think I'll skip the leg warmers the next time. Turn up the music and pump it up! Are you ready?

Joinain päivinä tuntuu vain siltä että haluaisi jäädä sohvalle makaamaan eikä raahautua salille tai ulos juoksemaan pakkaseen. Ratkaisu? Tee kodistasti kuntosali. Voit joko tehdä ihan perusliikkeitä lattialla tai etsiä itsellesi sopivan treenin, netti on niitä pullollaan. Nuorempana rakastin äitin aerobic videoita. En sano että tämän hetken treeniohjelmat eivät olisi hauskoja, mutta vanhanajan aerobicissa ja tanssissa on vain sitä jotakin. Löysin yhden kaikkien aikojen hauskimmista treeneistä. Sen nimi on Pump It Up ja sen esittävät Call On Me-videon tytöt. Kaikkihan muistavat sen biisin vai mitä? Aikanaan se oli minun soittolistani soitetuimpia kappaleita. Ja kaikki muistavat sen tanssin eikö niin? Kokeilkaapa sitä on olette hyppineet ja pomppineet lähes tunnin. Se on hauskaa mutta voin sanoa että ei niin helppoa kuin miltä näyttää. Miksi sitten et kokeilisi tätä? Osioita voi jättää väliin, se on jaettu useampaan. Jo tunnissa saa kunnon treenin jos haluaa jättää lopun venyttelyt väliin. Oletteko koskaan miettineet miksi tanssitytöillä ei ole juuri mitään päällään? Koska tanssiessa tulee oikeasti kuuma! Tämä inspiroi minuakin kaivamaan säärystimet kaapista ja pukeutumaan samalla tavalla. Ja se kyllä riitti. Se on kunnon kokovartalotreeni. Mutta taidan ensi kerralla jättää säärystimet pois. Nupit kaakkoon ja pumppaamaan! Oletko valmis?

Real Estate Night

I was invited to a cocktail evening of fun by Arvoasunnot LKV(free translation luxury apartments real estate agency) in honor of their new office opening. The party was held at restaurant/bar Maxine in Helsinki. The champagne was flowing and the place was packed with people; Jukka Rintala, Mikael Jugner among others. Also Kaisa Liski was there since she works at the new office and she was very friendly too. 

Entertainment was not forgotten as the a cappella band Club For 5 was performing with a variety of songs and to top off the night Mikko Leppilampi had an amazing show. I've seen and heard him sing before too and he's just so good. And nice to look at too if you ask me! ;) The big surprise of the night was that Arvoasunnot was donating 100 000 euros to the new children's hospital in Finland! This is amazing news and it almost made me cry. It was a good night! How was yours?

Minut kutsuttiin Arvoasunnot LKVn järjestämään cocktail tilaisuuteen heidän uuden toimistonsa avaamisen kunniaksi. Juhlat pidettiin ravintola Maxinessa Helsingissä. Samppanja virtasi ja paikalla oli paljon porukkaa; Jukka Rintala, Mikael Jugner mm. Paikalla oli myös Kaisa Liski tyttärineen sillä myös he toimivat uudessa toimistossa, molemmat vaikuttivat todella ystävällisiltä. 

Viihde-puolta ei oltu myöskään unohdettu. A cappella yhtye Club For 5 viihdytti ihmisiä, ja illan kruunasi Mikko Leppilammen uskomaton show. Olen nähnyt ja kuullut hänen laulavan aiemminkin ja hän on todella hyvä. Ja onhan häntä myös kiva katsella jos minulta kysytään! ;) Illan jymy-yllätys oli se että Arvoasunnot lahjoittaa 100 000 euroa uudelle lastensairaalalle! Tämä oli uskomaton uutinen ja sai minut lähes itkemään. Ilta oli onnistunut! Miten teillä?
