You've heard me talk about Chemaine Hurtado as my "on the coast" trainer. I wish I could ride with her every week, but the three hour drive makes that a little hard to do. So … I am super pleased to share that Chemaine has started a YouTube video series that focuses on balanced riding through the use of the yoga ball! Her first video is now available on YouTube, but to save you the trouble of doing a search, I've embedded it here for you to watch! It felt like Chemaine was actually in my house giving me a lesson, especially since I watched it on our "Smart TV," which kept her life-sized!
I think you'll enjoy the video, and I know you'll find Chemaine charming and engaging. Enjoy!
