Red Rocks Workout and Sunrise Service!

Did you ever think you felt so in shape until you try something new and feel like you're about to pass out?? I did! On Saturday April 6th, my supervisor from my work study job at JWU lead a workout at the Red Rocks Amphitheater! This large natural theater holds 9,450 people for concerts and events, and hundreds of people that work out every day!

We took buses to get there, which was about a half hour from the school....and the workout started at 10am. Right when we got there, we got going. My supervisor Jen was a huge motivation and constantly kept encouraging us and pushed us to do more and try harder! We did a variety of stairs, climbing up the big stairs, running up the mini stairs, (which were more height appropriate for me) running from one side of the bleachers to the other, and running up and down semi-steep ramps.

It's so crazy to see how many people were there and how motivated they were! Just witnessing this helped me understand why Colorado is one of the fittest states in the nation, and the state with the lowest obesity rate! People were full of energy and seemed to always want more, doing extra lunges in between stairs, jumping up the stairs, and carrying backpacks to increase the weight. MORE MORE MORE! You know what I wanted more of.....SLEEP! But thats not the Colorado way! I pushed myself and had an awesome time!

If you enjoy exercising (kind of an oxymoron there...lol) and seeing the beautiful red rocks, this is definitely a place to visit whenever you're in Colorado! I highly recommend it!

There's Jen telling us what to do next! Always with a smile on her face!

The view from the top! Yes, it was over a hundred rows..... O_o

Just a bit sweaty after the workout....lol

JWU getting those abs of steel!

This is a bit off topic, but I also came here for the Easter sunrise service. It was an awesome experience and is something everyone in Colorado should experience. We praised God and listened to a nice Easter message as we watched the sunrise. God's beautiful creation was breathtaking, and even though it was cold...it was completely worth it. 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

His mercies never come to an end;

They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

"The Lord is my portion" says my soul,

"Therefore I will hope in Him"
