SkyRobics & Open Sandwich Dinner

January 11, 2011 by christine

I don’t know why, but today feels like it should be Friday. Not because I’m tired of work… well I am just a little. But because I’m just in a great mood today and ready for more free time to play. Hopefully the weather will behave this weekend for a little outdoor fun. Until then, there’s always indoor fun. A couple of people have asked me what SkyRobics is and well, it’s this:

This is a video from the actual SkyZone gym I’ve gone to and I’ve taken a few of Anthony’s classes and a few classes from other instructors. SkyRobics is an hour long class of non-stop aerobics on this trampoline course and I’ve heard you could burn up to 1,000 calories in that hour. At first, I thought there’s no way considering I can’t burn that much running for an hour, but after taking a class for the first time and barely being able to walk the next day, I’m thinking that it’s possible. Going non-stop on a trampoline doing various exercises, ball tosses, and laps around the court is very intense working just about every muscle.

What I love about the class is it’s an amazing workout disguised as childish, free-spirited fun. I can go and have a blast blowing off steam and having fun after a busy day stuck at my desk. One of my goals is to get to one of these classes a week for the next few months and hopefully most of this year if I can afford it. I think it can do wonders tightening up my leg and butt muscles and really help my running. That’s not going to be easy while training for another half-marathon in March, so I need to schedule enough rest time having one day each week to rest – usually Friday for me. But it seems like a fun challenge. If you have a trampoline gym like this near you, try a class like this.

Anyway, I went fast and simple for dinner tonight creating an opened-face hummus sandwich.

I smeared Trader Joe’s hummus on a small piece of sourdough bread, topped with avocado slices, tomato slices and spinach.

It was a fun, simple dinner that’s customizable with any hummus flavor or a raw sauce.

I’ve never been a fan of traditional, closed sandwiches because they always seemed so heavy and bulky. But I’m a fan of two smaller open-faced sandwiches because there are two halves to eat that can be mixed and matched with different flavors. I can see myself doing this with more raw breads in future. And my light dinner saved room for a little dessert which I invited two of my favorite ingredients to.

Yup, banana soft serve again, it never gets old. I just dumped about half a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, about 1 1/2 banana’s worth of frozen banana chunks, 2 packets of stevia, a tbsp. of lucuma powder and 2 tbsp. of cacao powder into the Vita-Mix for a quick dessert.

Yum!

I think I can throw this together now faster than actually scooping traditional ice cream from a container!

    “SkyRobics is an hour long class of non-stop aerobics on this trampoline course “–
    I WANT TO DO IT!!!
    I used to love tramps as a kid. I mean our neighbors had one and i didnt even like the neighbor girl but stayed friends w/ her JUST to use her tramp :)

    Making softserve quicker than scooping ice cream, classic. Love that!

    “closed sandwiches because they always seemed so heavy and bulky.”–indeed! I like to keep them open so i can pile them higher with veggies and customize each half!

      Me too, in fact I still love taking over bounce houses at my nieces’ parties. :-P There’s gotta be a trampoline gym near you if we have two in this area, you should totally try a class!

    I always forget that I love banana soft serve & open faced sandwiches. When I was little, I used to love sharp cheddar & tomato sandwiches!

    That trampoline workout looks SO fun!

    Ok, first, I LOVE banana “ice cream” especially with the key ingredients: lucuma and cacao.
    Second, that sandwich looks awesome. I’m not a fan of traditional ones either- but give me avo and hummus and I’m happy!
    And third, that SkyRobics looks like SO MUCH FUN!

    I also love the look of your sandwich.

      SkyRobics is a pretty new thing, but we actually have two different trampoline gyms in this area so you must have one near you! :-)
