Working out at Work
Today at work we took the kids out for a walk, the first in awhile-it was so nice out! The walk is me, pushing a buggy with 5 toddlers in it for about 40 minutes. And because I work with toddlers, I have to lift them up to change them, etc. I was feeling awfully hyper today and also ran around with them on the playground. Also, as usual, I went for a 15 min walk during my break.

Ellen Barrett on Fitness DVD Shoots and Post-Baby Espresso
Ellen Barrett, fitness instructor, studio owner, and star of the Fusion Fitness DVD series and numerous other videos, just released a new DVD: Barefoot Cardio.
For fitness videos, height really matters. I'm 5'6", that's pretty much as tall as you can be and not look like a goon on these video shoots. Really tall people don't balance out. And petite people look so much more tall than they look in real life. The first video I ever did was for Crunch. I was in Hollywood, and I was training a lot of celebrities, and I was teaching at Crunch and they wanted their videos to be really authentic, with actual teachers. It was hell and torture. The director was just so mean to me and the people who were in the background exercising. It was such a beast. It was also exhilarating, but I remember finishing and thinking I never wanted to do that again.
