I was excused from the mile in school,
0:02
like any sort of higher impact conditioning.
0:04
I was like, Christina, no, you can't do it.
0:06
Nobody wanted to put me in an ambulance.
0:20
Hello, it's in friend Karina Don.

the Summer Fitness Series in Palm Springs, California.

Yes, you know the Christina Ernest.

And she's inside your app right now with a brand new
1:32
two-week Evergreen High Intensity program.
1:35
It actually launched last week,
1:37
and the reviews from you are incredible.
1:40
You're loving it, and I love that you're loving it.
1:44
I always get a lot of comments and questions and suggestions.
1:48
You know, some people want more high intensity.
1:50
Some of you want a lower intensity.
1:53
This one is for those of you who really want to get at it
1:56
and have some heart pump and fun.
1:58
And again, more end week two of it,
2:01
but like all of the other programs,
2:03
it's always Evergreen, so choose when you want to do it.
2:06
All right, so this episode, let's get ready and get into it.
2:10
It's equal parts inspiring, hilarious, and deeply, deeply real
2:14
from trading a career in fashion merchandising at Raff Lauren
2:18
to a desk front job at a gym
2:20
to teaching her first ever cycling class
2:23
with a zero certification and someone else's playlist.
2:26
Christina's journey into fitness
2:28
is proof that sometimes the most unexpected leap of faith
2:31
leads you exactly where you were always meant to be, right?
2:36
All right, Christina opens up about navigating multiple
2:39
miscarriages, uprooting her life across the country
2:42
more than once, and overcoming a heart condition
2:45
that doctors said would keep her from running, which she loves.
2:49
It's a condition that ultimately became the very reason
2:52
she fell in love with movement.
2:55
If you have ever felt stuck, scared to start over
2:58
or unsure whether your dream is even possible,
3:02
this conversation will leave you feeling seen, uplifted,
3:06

3:25
Welcome back to Tone Down.
3:29
Today's guest, Christina Ernest.
3:32
Yay!
3:33
Coming at you from Palm Springs,
3:34
onset for toned up the app workouts coming this summer.
3:40
I can't wait. They're so good.
3:42
They're going to be so much fun.
3:44
There's just so much good energy on set.
3:46
It's going to be incredible.
3:48
What's your favorite moment so far?
3:52
Favorite moment so far, I think, was getting back
3:56
into teaching Tabata again after some time away
4:01
and getting to say things that I love to say again.
4:04
Like what's that?
4:05
Like what do you love to say?
4:06
At the end of my sessions,
4:09
Tabata, there are 22 intervals,
4:12
and my favorite thing is I'll say what's
4:14
20 seconds to a boss.
4:16
And it's our final interval.
4:17
It's like the biggest push.
4:18
And when I said it over there,
4:20
it reminded me of how much I love coaching
4:24
and how cool it is to be back.
4:27
Let's like deep dive way back.
4:29
Number one, activate and ignite is in the app right now.
4:34
Yes.
4:35
For those of you who are like,
4:37
I want something really hard
4:38
and I was reviewing all of the workouts.
4:41
Activate and ignite.
4:42
I'm like dang, this is for you.
4:45
If you want to just like completely
4:49
drench yourself and feel really good,
4:51
like you really had a good workout,
4:54
it's two weeks to do whenever you want with Christina.
4:59
So that's in the app now.
5:00
Obviously in the app, you can do your workouts
5:02
anytime, any place.
5:04
But let's like deep dive back.
5:06
I'm like going way back.
5:08
Because I don't, you all know Christina
5:10
from turn it up workouts in the past.
5:12
I've been around the block.
5:14
She's in the loop.
5:18
But let's go back to what 2000.
5:22
I have made a note of this we were talking today.
5:24
2008 and career shifts.
5:27
Yes.
5:28
Yeah.
5:28
So I did not start in the fitness industry.
5:32
And if some of our OG tone up girls are like,
5:35
wait a second, you pulled me up on stage
5:38
and one of the tone up retreats on a whim.
5:40
I was like, tell your story.
5:42
And I was like, and here we go.
5:44
Like it was just it was, but it was such a,
5:46
it was, I was so on the spot.
5:49
It's so cool to feel it come to life.
5:51
So in 2008, I graduated from college.
5:55
And I started in merchandising industry.
5:58
I worked for companies like Puma and Ralph Lauren.
6:01
And Ralph Lauren, I thought that was it.
6:03
Like I made it.
6:04
I'm going to be there forever.
6:05
I love it.
6:07
And then my husband and I got married.
6:09
He got relocated to Chicago for work.
6:12
I went.
6:13
And there was nothing there for me that satisfied
6:18
that same career path that Ralph Lauren gave me.
6:21
I found a job eventually.
6:23
And was in it for about eight weeks.
6:26
I hated it.
6:28
I won't put any companies on bless.
6:30
But I really didn't like it.
6:32
So I quit on Monday.
6:33
Usually people quit on a Friday.
6:35
You're not talking about Monday.
6:36
Moral of this story.
6:37
If you get anything, don't quit your job on Monday.
6:41
Because I gave two weeks after only giving them eight weeks on the job.
6:45
And they told me to get out on a Friday.
6:47
So I said, okay.
6:48
And I left.
6:50
But they asked me, they're like, what are you going to do?
6:52
And I was like, I don't know.
6:53
But it's not this.
6:54
I knew it wasn't this.
6:55
I didn't know what it was.
6:58
And I loved fitness.
7:00
My, my, reminded me that I, you know,
7:02
I enjoyed taking classes.
7:03
I loved cycling and all that.
7:05
So I went up to a studio, a local studio in Chicago.
7:09
And then one of the bigger box gyms in Chicago.
7:11
And I got a front desk job.
7:12
I was like, give me what you got.
7:13
And it was nights and weekends.
7:15
So I took it.
7:16
It was different.
7:20
Definitely not the way that I thought
7:22
that path would start.
7:23
But it was my foot in the door.
7:25
And I told everyone that I wanted to teach.
7:28
And then one night, a cycling instructor did not show up.
7:31
The group fitness manager was not in a good spot.
7:36
And was asking people frantically if someone could teach.
7:39
And I was like, I'll do it.
7:42
Am I certified?
7:43
No.
7:43
But I will do it.
7:45
I did it.
7:46
It wasn't great.
7:47
It wasn't even my own playlist.
7:49
But that started everything.
7:52
Go back into the mindset of when you said, yes,
7:55
I've never taught a class before.
7:58
Not my playlist.
8:00
Not certified.
8:01
That comes later.
8:02
Whatever.
8:02
You know how to motivate people.
8:03
I think the biggest thing with like training is
8:06
being able to motivate people to move.
8:09
Yeah.
8:09
What is the mindset where you said,
8:13
yes, to teaching that class?
8:15
Because I would be so scared.
8:17
It was like, yes, uh-oh.
8:20
Like I wanted it so bad.
8:22
And in my head, this didn't happen often.
8:25
You know, I didn't see instructors no show
8:28
at all while I was at the front desk.
8:30
So I'm like, if I take this and I prove at least
8:32
that I can get on the bike, at least if I can just
8:36
get one foot in front of the other, be honest with the people
8:38
in front of me being like, hey, you don't know me.
8:40
I don't know you.
8:41
Like this is my first time.
8:43
I probably just took your jacket and scanned you in.
8:45
Like it's giving them that honesty
8:48
and just proving to the staff there that I could do it.
8:52
And that I really wanted it as much as I was saying
8:55
gained the members trust as well as the managers trust.
9:00
So that one gig after that, I immediately got certified
9:04
because then I was hooked.
9:05
That gig turned into I was a substitute there.
9:09
And then I auditioned for another cycling specific studio.
9:12
I got that gig.
9:13
That one, yes.
9:16
Even though it was a risk was so rare and unique
9:19
that I knew if I didn't take it, I might not get that again.
9:22
So were you like sweating in your armpits?
9:25
Like, it was your heart.
9:26
Yes.
9:27
Pounding.
9:28
So I get on the playlist is not my type of music.
9:32
My it was very explicit.
9:34
And I'm not that type of person.
9:36
Like cussing.
9:37
Oh yeah, cussing.
9:38
Lots of cussing.
9:39
I come in in like a sparkly headband.
9:41
My like Bentley dance team teaser.
9:44
It was not good.
9:45
But you do what you got to do.
9:47
And they were just happy.
9:48
The class wasn't canceled in there.
9:50
So once you finished, how did you feel?
9:54
I was trembling for like two days.
9:56
But like so excited.
9:58
Like I was like that's it.
10:00
That is the feeling I'm missing.
10:02
And how do I chase that?
10:04
Where do I go from here?
10:05
Like I got this manager's trust.
10:07
But like I heard that there's somebody doing cycling auditions
10:11
down in the Gold Coast of Chicago.
10:12
Like how do I get into the door there?
10:14
Like who do I write to?
10:15
Like I was just so the fire was just like ignited.
10:18
Like I just wanted it so bad.
10:21
So you were big on cycling and you have cycling workouts
10:24
in the Tonerup app as well.
10:26
So how do you make that shift then
10:30
and to full training mode?
10:32
Yeah.
10:33
So in Chicago was only cycling.
10:36
And then we moved again.
10:38
We moved to California.
10:40
And I was teaching at a studio called Flywheel.
10:42
And the flywheel was in like West Hollywood.
10:45
We knew we were moving to Manhattan Beach area.
10:47
I heard the traffic was really icky.
10:49
So I'm like, I don't want to deal with that.
10:51
And then I found an equinox down the road.
10:55
So we were living in a hotel in Chicago.
10:57
It's just the stories get wacky.
10:58
But like we were living in a hotel in Chicago waiting
11:01
to move our belongings from Chicago to California.
11:03
I wrote to the group fitness manager at South Bay.
11:08
And I was like, hey, I'm coming in.
11:11
You know, if you want any cycling substitutes
11:14
and she was like, actually, I'm auditioning in 48 hours.
11:16
You can be here.
11:17
I was like, yes, yes.
11:19
And I was.
11:19
I had no cycling shoes.
11:21
I bought them from like a local cycle shop.
11:23
I audition.
11:24
I got the gig.
11:25
But then she was like, what do you think about the main studio?
11:28
Like, what do you think about treadmill?
11:29
Because equinox, they had great training tools.
11:33
I forgot that you trained at the equinox or cat and I met.
11:37
Yeah, yeah.
11:38
I loved it.
11:39
They, I mean, they jumped me right into the main studio.
11:42
Like, again, it was one of those things that like,
11:43
if someone's offering it to you,
11:45
like, go for it.
11:48
This is actually a funny story.
11:50
So you and Mike moved Manhattan Beach.
11:53
And he lived somewhere else first.
11:55
And then you moved into the apartment that we filmed the Bravo show.
12:01
Yes, we did.
12:02
I could still, we could see the nail holes of where they were.
12:07
Really?
12:08
It was great.
12:09
It was a great apartment.
12:11
The views were like outrageous.
12:12
Oh, my gosh.
12:13
Like, it was so good.
12:15
We aren't so fun fact.
12:16
This was, I mean, what was this?
12:18
Maybe 10-ish years ago?
12:20
Yeah, for sure.
12:21
We took Karina's mirror from her apartment.
12:26
And it's still in my home today.
12:28
10 years later, it's my favorite mirror.
12:30
That's so wild that like so many of us like lived it.
12:33
It was three, six, one, two, Manhattan Avenue.
12:35
I can share that address now because none of us.
12:37
Yeah, no, not there anymore.
12:39
But that is where we filmed.
12:40
That's where Bobby and I started dating.
12:42
And Eddie lived there.
12:44
And like, you guys moved in.
12:45
Yep.
12:46
Oh, so great.
12:47
The apartment has so many memories.
12:50
I kind of want to go back there and see.
12:52
I wonder what it looks like now.
12:54
Like, did they renovate it?
12:55
Is it like, I doubt it?
12:56
I mean, did you?
12:58
I painted the walls teal.
13:00
We did not paint them back.
13:01
They were perfect as it is.
13:04
What a wild time.
13:06
So you come to California and let's even back up
13:08
because our husbands knew each other from the east coast.
13:13
Yeah.
13:14
So me, Mike and Bobby went to Bentley.
13:17
Yes.
13:18
Bobby and I are both from Long Island,
13:20
but we didn't know each other going into school.
13:22
Yeah.
13:22
But Mike and Bobby connected there.
13:25
Yeah.
13:25
The web of people and then somehow we're
13:27
3,000 miles away from where we started.
13:30
Like, weird.
13:31
But then also is interesting that Tory
13:35
went to the same high school as Bobby.
13:37
Yeah.
13:37
And she's back along Island now.
13:41
Can't keep us away.
13:42
I know.
13:43
There's like so many like.
13:44
We go back and then we complain about the snow
13:47
and the weather.
13:48
And we're like, but we can't leave.
13:50
Yeah.
13:52
All right.
13:52
So here in California, California,
13:54
dream and then you ended up back in New York.
13:58
We did.
13:59
So to be honest, we didn't plan on leaving.
14:02
We bought a home in Redondo Beach.
14:04
We were like, ready to go.
14:08
Yeah.
14:08
How do I remember that?
14:09
I love it because you were there.
14:11
But like, it was our future.
14:13
It was what we thought it was going to be.
14:16
And then life shifted.
14:19
We wanted to start a family.
14:21
We had a lot of trouble starting our family.
14:23
I had multiple miscarriages back to back.
14:26
And it just, it wasn't happening.
14:28
And I couldn't be that far away from family anymore.
14:31
And I was like, I love it here, but I need to go home.
14:35
And Mike completely understood he made a job happen.
14:39
Like, we shifted gears completely.
14:43
We didn't necessarily know what was going to happen
14:45
when we moved to New York.
14:46
But I was like, I just, like, I got to go home.
14:49
Yeah, more of your family is so close and fantastic.
14:52
And now they live down the street.
14:54
Well, yeah, they got closer and closer
14:56
after I got pregnant with Ava or second.
14:59
They were, and we had almost Irish twins.
15:02
I was like, mom, help me.
15:04
But it, it worked out in, in the right way.
15:07
Like, it happened in ways I couldn't have predicted.
15:11
But now I love that my family is 10 minutes away.
15:14
I love that my kids know them so well,
15:17
versus having to take a plane and all that.
15:20
So it's nice.
15:22
So can we talk about you've overcome
15:25
there's so many different career shifts,
15:27
which I think is important to normalize
15:29
and having to be like, you can change your mindset,
15:33
your mind on what you want to do for your career at any point.
15:37
But also, just don't do it on Monday.
15:38
Don't do it on Monday.
15:40
Don't just don't take that from me.
15:42
But there's also something that you were told you couldn't run
15:48
because of your heart problem.
15:50
Yes, let's talk about that.
15:51
Yeah, so that's that's a way back.
15:53
That's many, many Christina.
15:55
So when I was younger, fitness wasn't,
15:59
it wasn't a part of my life.
16:00
I did grow up doing dance and gymnastics
16:02
and cheerleading and things like that.
16:03
But everyone always had to be very careful with me
16:05
because if I overexerted myself,
16:08
my blood pressure would drop significantly.
16:10
I would have some sort of fiending episode.
16:12
Sometimes they were smaller.
16:14
Sometimes they were more dangerous.
16:15
And nobody wanted to put me in an ambulance.
16:17
So everyone, I was excused from the mile in school.
16:20
I like any sort of higher impact conditioning.
16:24
I was like, Christina, no, you can't do it.
16:26
And looking back, I would kind of joke,
16:28
like, haha, I don't have to do it.
16:30
And then at the same time, I was like, why can't I do it?
16:32
If everybody else is doing it, what's wrong with me?
16:37
So it was tough growing up.
16:40
It really, I dealt with it from fifth grade was the first time
16:45
we realized it happened.
16:46
Up until my sophomore year of college, we were very careful.
16:50
And finally, I found the right doctor.
16:52
We did the right treatments.
16:54
We had the right medication.
16:55
We had the right program to getting me better
16:58
and having my heart stronger
17:01
that I was able to do things like run-walking.
17:04
Like just let I started very small
17:06
like when we started doing it.
17:08
And what's interesting is once we got me on the right path,
17:12
that aerobic activity made my heart stronger,
17:15
which is interesting because it was like the thing
17:17
that you can't do, now you can do,
17:20
and it's working to your advantage.
17:22
So, because I don't know too much about it,
17:25
but I do recall if you don't mind me saying Eddie and Liz is wetting.
17:30
That's not a good one.
17:33
And then in a fiending episode,
17:34
they're wetting it's beautiful and perfect and wonderful.
17:36
Yes, but you fainted, yeah.
17:38
And I'm like, what is going on?
17:39
So like that doesn't happen anymore.
17:42
That hasn't happened in a very long time.
17:44
What's interesting is that one of the last times
17:48
it happened, and I was pregnant.
17:52
Yeah.
17:53
I don't think I knew that.
17:54
Nobody knew that one person knew it.
17:57
One person that was helping me other than
17:59
our friend Amy, who is a nurse.
18:01
Yes, absolutely.
18:02
She saw me go down and Mike was honest with her.
18:04
And I mean, that was the last time.
18:07
And it's very scary because it comes on very fast.
18:09
And it doesn't give you much warning,
18:11
but it just makes your body go totally limp.
18:15
Like, and there's no control.
18:16
There's no sight.
18:17
It's, yeah.
18:19
Well, we're happy.
18:20
You're healthy and working out again.
18:22
Oh, yeah.
18:22
We did a crazy, crazy to about earlier.
18:25
There were sweat flowing and so much.
18:28
All good.
18:29
Lots of strength.
18:29
Okay.
18:30
So then with tone it up,
18:33
you've done workouts before.
18:34
And then you had K E squad.
18:37
Yeah.
18:37
And then you took a break because mother of three.
18:42
Three.
18:43
There's so many.
18:44
No, I'm kidding.
18:44
So Madison is our first, she's seven.
18:48
Ava is six.
18:49
They're 13 months apart.
18:50
And then there's Bryce, who is two.
18:52
And they would all tell you that I am wrong.
18:54
And they are seven and a half, six and a half, two and a half.
18:56
So in case they see this, got you.
18:59
But yeah, they're, I mean, they've been everything.
19:03
And when I built the K E squad, it was a different time.
19:08
It was during the pandemic.
19:10
Mike wasn't traveling.
19:11
Now he travels a ton for work.
19:13
There's another baby in the mix.
19:15
The biggest eye opener for me was I actually went into preterm labor
19:19
with Bryce at around 32 weeks and gave me a real scare.
19:24
And I remember thinking I was like,
19:25
because I was ready to take a long,
19:27
maternity leave because of Mike's travel.
19:29
But when that scare happened,
19:31
I was like, I am here for my family.
19:34
That is now my main focus.
19:36
I'm going to bring him into the world safely.
19:37
And they are my world.
19:39
And it has been and always will be.
19:42
But that was again, why that shift really happened.
19:46
So then we talked again.
19:48
It was like serendipity because it was literally,
19:51
it was the perfect timing.
19:52
I was just feeling good about just getting that spark back,
19:56
teaching more regularly and not worrying about what could be
20:00
and just having fun again.
20:02
It's so interesting too,
20:04
because not to be like,
20:05
who or anything, but whatever was aligned when I reached out to
20:10
China and Steph and Tori and you,
20:14
everyone was like, I'm ready.
20:16
Like we went through this like phase.
20:18
So what would you say?
20:19
Like anyone who's feeling not necessarily connected
20:26
with their purpose of their self.
20:29
And then they're ready to come back.
20:31
But how to listen to yourself and your intuition.
20:34
And how to just take that step again.
20:36
Like you've done many times.
20:39
Yeah, to me, it's about that human connection too.
20:42
Like keeping trust.
20:44
Like with the manager in Chicago,
20:46
like I wanted him to trust me.
20:48
I wanted him to know that even if I had no idea what I was doing,
20:52
that he could trust that I was going to get on that bike at five.
20:55
I think it was five o'clock, five thirty one of those.
20:56
And stay on it till five forty five, see through the class.
21:00
Like when we talked again, I wanted us to like keep our relationship going
21:05
and know that like you can you can trust.
21:09
I will do anything to keep the toned up community thriving.
21:14
And it's all about that connection with others and keeping that
21:20
positivity in there when that door opens.
21:23
It will go towards you because you'll keep that connection going.
21:27
And then when it's your time, you got to you got to step through the door.
21:31
When it opens, you got to go.
21:32
And even even if it's a little wonky along the way, like my first class,
21:37
like that big step forward, really just catapult to you.
21:42
So I always love like takeaways.
21:45
A woman listening.
21:47
She's got her kids at home.
21:48
She has a dream.
21:50
She's living her dream.
21:52
She has a family.
21:53
But there's just like one little spark more that she wants.
21:57
Yeah. What do you tell her?
21:59
I think we dig deep because we really have to think about what we love to do.
22:05
I loved fashion, but fitness was my outlet.
22:10
So I think finding what speaks to you and then how can you make that a reality
22:17
for like a career path and how it worked.
22:20
It really was like magic.
22:21
Like it really turned out.
22:23
And it's not because I went externally looking for anything.
22:26
It's because I really looked from within and believed in myself.
22:28
And like I knew I could teach.
22:31
I knew I needed more tools and more knowledge and more wisdom behind it.
22:34
But like I wanted to make people feel good.
22:37
That was the big thing.
22:38
So like other than finding like what you love,
22:41
like what do you want to accomplish?
22:43
Like what do you like for me?
22:45
I want to make people feel good.
22:46
I want to make people feel strong.
22:47
It's for little Christina that couldn't run.
22:49
Like it's that path that got me to fitness to continue that.
22:57
So would you say like fitness to you is not the aesthetic,
23:00
but the way it makes you feel that you can accomplish a feat.
23:06
100%.
23:06
Yeah.
23:07
It's all about that feeling at the end.
23:09
And I would say that when I say that we're like sweating with a smile,
23:13
it's really because we're here.
23:14
Like we're doing this when there are so many obstacles that can make you not do it.
23:20
It's special.
23:21
It is very true.
23:22
And I think as we've had many discussions the past two days of hitting 40.
23:27
So all of the things change.
23:30
And like why we work out here with like red eyes and snotty noses.
23:37
Healthy as a whistle.
23:38
Can't breathe.
23:38
Why?
23:39
Because flowers are blooming.
23:40
Like what?
23:40
You kidding me?
23:43
But I think that one of the biggest things is just like we work out.
23:48
Because number one, I feel like fitness as we are the place that we are in our life.
23:55
It's more of the community and how we come together and the best conversations happen
24:00
before and after workout or while we're sitting here around the dining room table and
24:06
sharing stories.
24:07
But it's all like fitness brings you together.
24:10
It makes you feel good.
24:12
And I don't know.
24:14
It's just it's a complete even like down to last night.
24:17
So when we got in and I was I mean jet lagged and exhausted and then I saw a
24:23
China and Ari and Ari and I had never actually met in real life.
24:26
Yeah.
24:26
Like we had taught virtual classes together during the pandemic.
24:29
We had done work with women's health together.
24:30
But we'd never like actually like met together.
24:34
And that was our first thing.
24:35
And I didn't want to get up from the table.
24:36
I was exhausted and I'm like no, I need to keep talking to her because we had that connection.
24:42
And the only way we had it was through fitness.
24:45
Was it when I asked you to be a part of the show and you I think that you said on the
24:50
phone to me, would you ever consider having Ari and she was like your next phone call.
24:55
And I said I have a call with her in like 30 minutes.
24:58
I can't believe it because she's like she's infectious.
25:02
She's so good and like it's that fitness connection.
25:06
Like it brings community together and you just want people that uplift you to win.
25:12
Like when I'm going into it, I'm like I'm bringing my people like I love her.
25:16
So we've been here watching all the workouts and it was when Ari was doing her dance workout.
25:23
I really hope no one can see our silhouettes in the window.
25:27
No, I took video but we all are like okay move like this.
25:31
I kind of want to have like a toned up dance off with Ari's workout because it was so fun.
25:38
We're going to tap me out.
25:39
It's like you know, I just uploaded dance like no one's watching and so
25:45
fun.
25:46
It was so fun.
25:47
That class is I can't I'm going to take that alone in my basement.
25:51
And I'm just going to go for it.
25:54
I'm pretty sure kids would join in.
25:56
They would.
25:56
Oh yeah.
25:57
She's family friendly.
25:58
Over here.
25:58
No, they were.
25:59
They got like moves.
26:02
Oh my gosh, they would love it.
26:04
Okay, let's talk about activate and ignite one more time here.
26:08
Yeah.
26:08
Turn it up up.
26:10
The end spoke for those girls who really want to go hard.
26:13
It has a little bit of everything.
26:15
You'll be jumping.
26:16
You'll be lifting.
26:17
We've had some low impact it.
26:18
We've got some core days like it really is a great hybrid of classes.
26:23
And maybe if you haven't taken class with me in a while or if we're just meeting for the first
26:27
time, this is a great way to see some of the classes that I have been teaching.
26:33
And my favorite, which is Tabata, which is sprinkled in there.
26:36
It really, it does the job.
26:38
It really gets it done.
26:39
And there's five days of work, two days off.
26:42
But you can always go on your app and I choose what days you want to work out.
26:45
But I was looking at the programming.
26:47
I'm like, dang, Christina's really good at like programming.
26:51
She's going to, like, you're going to crush it.
26:55
You'll be feeling good.
26:59
Maybe mad at me in the moment.
27:00
There might be a few very, and that's okay.
27:03
That happens.
27:05
All right, Christina, well, thank you.
27:08
This was so fun.
27:08
This was so fun.
27:09
I know.
27:10
Don't send me home.
27:11
I know.
27:12
She's like coming from a snow in New York and it's like,
27:15
I just have grass here.
27:16
That's not covered in snow.
27:19
The little, the little things.
27:21
We have pomeranians.
27:22
We have grass.
27:23
We have 90 degrees of water.
27:27
But all right, how do we find out and follow you at Christina Ernest?
27:31
Yes, follow me at Christina Ernest.
27:33
You'll see classes just flowing on the toned-up app from from me and the whole crew.
27:39
And it's going to be really exciting.
27:40
All right.
27:41
Thank you.
27:42
Thank you.
27:42
Let's go find out.
