It's hard to get into a workout routine, especially depending on your work schedule. While my office building offers a gym, there aren't any classes. And the gyms that do, most of the classes start at time where it's just not possible with my schedule. It takes me about an our to get home from work (that's if weather is perfect), and a lot of classes start around 5:30-6:30. I can't always make those times, which kinda sucks. Plus let's face it, gyms are expensive. Do I want to pay $80-$90 a month? Not if I can help it! That's why I love Xpose Fitness. What is it? It's a studio that offers classes centered around exotic dancing. They offer different levels of pole classes, floor/chair, plus yoga and stretch related classes! Now, Xpose Fitness is a local chain, but you can find similar ... Continue Reading...
And I Bought Yet Another Fitbit
It's getting hilarious at this point. I've now had three different Fitbits. They don't break or anything. I just feel the need to upgrade. Or I buy one and then the next day something new comes out. This time around I upgraded my Alta to an Alta HR. I've wanted something with a heart rate monitor but I have small wrists. I don't want some giant watch looking thing sitting on my arm all day. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as the standard Alta. It can track exercise, your sleep, and everything else that the other one did. The sleep tracking is more in depth thanks to the HRM. And look, as someone who uses these things I still take everything with a grain of salt. I'm sure it counts steps I don't take, and I'm sure the HRM is probably a bit off, but that's fine. It's giving me ... Continue Reading...
I Signed Up For A 5K
I've always wanted to do one. I even signed up for one a few years ago but then something came up and I didn't take part. Honestly, I was probably just lazy and nothing actually "came up." When I saw that The Color Run was coming to town I knew I had to do it. The medal is a unicorn you guys. A UNICORN. How could I pass that up? The event is in September, I think the weekend after I get back from London. That was great planning on my part. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's planning things back to back when I shouldn't. Now, I'm not a runner at all. I think I could be though, and that's what matters. My issue is with pacing myself. That and the fact that I don't want to walk then run, then walk and the other "Couch to 5K" programs that are out there. When I do something, I want to ... Continue Reading...
