I’m Moving! (weekly workout recap)

boxes

Well, last week was quite a busy week and it’s looking like the next couple of weeks are insane too because I’m moving! I kinda knew I might be moving (within the same area) but wasn’t sure how fast it would happen and well, it happens at the end of next week! This means I’m […]

Back To Running (weekly workout recap)

Bala-bangle-barre

I’m totally back to running after that brief week with my hamstring bothering me. I mean it when I say that I never run with any sort of aches or pains so for me to have said my hamstring didn’t feel right, means it really didn’t feel right. But I’m all better now and hey, […]

Quick Look At Last Week’s Workouts

Hello! I don’t have much to add beyond the workout recap details listed below. In Friday’s post, I mentioned that last week was a blur. I wasn’t kidding! Something about it felt very blended together, which is likely why I have nothing to add beyond what I noted below each day. Last Week’s Workouts Last […]

Last Week’s Workouts at Equinox

Another nicely varied week of workouts in the books! I ran a little more last week and tried a new-to-me 60-minute barre class on the Thursday Equinox class schedule. This week I plan to try a TRX class! My pilates instructor teaches it and said it’s perfect for me. I will report back about it […]

Thanksgiving Week Workouts in Review

brooks-ghost

The Monday after a long holiday weekend (especially Thanksgiving!) is always a bit strange. Not only is today weird, but last week also seems like a total blur! Good thing I write down my workouts after they happen so I can put together this post. Did you shop the Black Friday sales? Are we supposed […]

Little Bits of Running (weekly workout recap)

equinox-pilates

A few notes before getting to my workouts from last week! My Ever-Changing Gym Routine: Do I not always say that my workout routine will vary from week to week? Well literally, no kidding on that. While I’m a morning person, I don’t need to get up as early right now so the 7:00 AM […]

Back To Barre (weekly workout recap)

equinox-barre

A couple of notes before getting to my workouts from last week: Just as I said in last week’s post that ideally, I would like to take two barefoot sculpt classes a week, I didn’t take any and instead tried two new-to-me barre classes. Which I LOVED. Two different teachers yet both styles were fairly […]

Workout Variety + Figuring Out Equinox Routine

equinoz-pilates

So I’m still in the mindset of not wanting to write a weekly workout recap each week but I did join Equinox so I feel like I should give some updates on how that’s going. I love it. It’s been so fun and rejuvenating to my workout routine and mornings! I don’t think I even […]

Trying All of the Equinox Classes

Last week was my first full week at Equinox. It really does feel great to be back in the gym atmosphere and I’m loving the whole Equinox experience. My main excitement over joining Equinox is the access to so many great classes! Last week at Equinox I tried: Barefoot Sculpt One-on-One Pilates Spin Barre I […]

SoulCycle & Pure Barre Birthday Celebration (workout recap)

pure barre

Happy Birthday to me!! My friend Dina is so awesome. She treated me yesterday to a special morning of birthday workouts: my first SoulCycle class directly followed by a Pure Barre class! The best part – the double workouts were her idea! I still can’t get over that. Just look at her endorphins on display as we arrived at Pure Barre […]

How To Find The Gym That’s Right For You

how to find the gym that is right for you

  Remember last week (or was it already the week before? Geez!) when I attended a spin class as a guest at Lifetime? Well, I was offered an unbelievable extended guest pass to bring me back through the end of the year. This special family guest pass would grant me full access to Lifetime once again including the […]

What do you do With Your Apple Peels & Lots of Recipe Links

apple crumb coffee cake

  If you know me, you know that a 9:45 am spin class is super late for me to work out. I had two breakfasts, baked an apple crumb coffee cake and consumed three cups of coffee prior to getting myself to Lifetime and on a spin bike. I made the apple crumb coffee cake for my […]
