Hi friends! I hope you enjoyed my little recap of Daydream Island. We had such a blast while we were there playing tennis, taking out boats and even jetskiing! I can’t help but look at the photos longingly. I wish we could go back!
The views were so amazing I just had to film a video for you all! So I’ve got another barre video for you to help you #Jumpstart January! This video can be done absolutely anywhere. You don’t need any equipment, just your own bodyweight. This one was a killer and I was sore for a few days after! If you need to take a break at any time, just pause the video and jump back in when you are ready. The more you do it, the better your strength and endurance will become so you’ll eventually be able to do it without stopping!*
This video looks so tranquil but I actually got attacked by a bunch of horseflies. I was editing this video and all of a sudden I started going nuts and attacking horseflies with my flip flop. Lol! That part obviously got cut! 🙂
Readers, have you ever been inspired to do something by your surroundings? How are your new year’s resolutions going? Any vacations planned to escape the winter weather?

January 16, 2014I’ve wanted to try a Barre class for so long! Looks like I’ll be trying yours asap. My fitness resolutions are actually going well! Despite getting a little off track due to feeling under the weather. As long as the scale moves in the right direction… I am happy. 🙂

January 16, 2014Tell me what you think! I hope you feel better soon. I hate this time of year when sickness is all around!

January 16, 2014Wow! Now I want to go on vacation! Thanks for sharing. I will keep those pictures in my head when I go running outside in the cold!
FitBritt
January 16, 2014I’ll admit I’ve been staring longingly at these photos wishing I could go back!

January 16, 2014This is cool! I might do this tonight after a short airplane ride. My legs would be shaking so bad! It is over 70 degrees here today, so I have no need to escape for the winter. 🙂 Maybe in the summer I will want to go somewhere a little bit hotter.
FitBritt
January 16, 2014I’m so jealous that it is 70 degrees. Why do I live in the northeast!?
Joi @ Rx Fitness Lady
January 16, 2014OMG, I wish you had left the attack in, HA! Great video the parts I watched. I like seeing different styles of teaching as I mentioned the other day!
FitBritt
January 16, 2014It was pretty insane! I went after like four of them wit my flip flop! Haha.
Jillienne @ ChasingRaspberries

FitBritt

January 16, 2014What a great workout video–musicality is pro; scenery is to day dream about; and, exercises spot on!
FitBritt

Danielle @ Fitness Frugalista
January 16, 2014Thanks for posting these videos! I will admit I LOLed about the horse fly attack! Sounds like something that would happen to me too. Love the pictures!
FitBritt
January 16, 2014The horsefly attack was pretty funny! Hope you enjoy the video! 🙂
Paige@FitNotFad
January 16, 2014Oh my goodness so beautiful!!! I am still dying to take a barre class somewhere here I still haven’t tried it!
FitBritt
January 16, 2014Barre is the best! You have to give it a try!
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome
January 16, 2014That looks heavenly! I’d love to be on an island right now! It’s cold!
FitBritt

Elise @ 9toFit.com
January 17, 2014I love your videos, it’s so awesome you mad a 45 minute video. I don’t know if I’d have the patience or someone who would sit and film for me for that long ! lol
FitBritt
January 17, 2014Thanks Elise! I tried to convince my husband to film me but he didn’t want to. Luckily I found a spot on the island where they have this movie theater set up so there were these cement stairs and I just propped the camera on one of the stairs!
Nellie @ Brooklyn Active Mama
January 17, 2014Beautiful pictures, I can’t wait to try the Barre Video although I would have LOVED to see you take care of those horse flies LOL! The background is amazing and serene!
Lex @ Flecks of Lex
January 22, 2014I’m so excited to try your barre video! I’ve been wanting to hit up one of my local studios that offers the classes, but they’re never convenient. Now, I have no excuse!
FitBritt
January 23, 2014Yay! I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
