I’m always looking for new ways to get strong, break a sweat, and have fun. More and more I’m into nonconventional sweat tactics. I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I went to the gym. I love my spin and weights circuit training, but curling 10-pound dumbbells just doesn’t interest me right now. There…
Have you been seeing those bright domes and the torture (aka kickbutt workout) they inflict upon us? Those are BOSU Balance Trainers! You’ve probably seen the classic blue and black ones in gyms for a while now. Not only did BOSU release a pink edition last year that we went crazy for… But NOW they’ve released…
I crave adventure, but am a creature of habit! As much as I love traveling, sometimes I struggle with the disruption to my workout routine. How can I balance these two loves? Luckily there are five ways I am always able to stay active while traveling, including when I was home in North Carolina last weekend: 1….
Whether Asheville ripped the phrase off from Portland (who maybe ripped it off from Austin), I’ve found myself calling some truly bizarre places “home.” In 2000, Rolling Stone called my hometown “America’s new freak capital.” (Read whole article here.) Needless to say I’ve grown up surrounded by the weird. I’ve always appreciated it, but…
Happy Flex Friday, sweaties! Coming to you from Indianapolis this week! The Sweat Pink team is here rocking out all the Sweat Pink and blogging love for fitbloggin. Today for #flexfriday, we’re talking arm strength with Bob’s Red Mill. A lot of my activities end up working out my arms: paddling, bootcamp and circuit training, all…
Trigger Point asks us today for their #howIroll challenge to name 5 things that are essential for fitness events or vacations (or race days). This is pretty perfect timing as we’re just two short weeks away from BlogFest, our annual conference within IDEA World. So we’re in big-time prep mode and the question has already been…
I couldn’t say when the last time was that I ran an official race. So when we got invited to join in on the initial 5k for the United Relay, we jumped at the chance! Literally… The race was at 6pm on Wednesday in Seattle. That means… faux weekend road trip with the girls! Jamie, Nicci,…
Next Wednesday, April 27th, 2016, runners will venture out from Seattle (San Francisco and Los Angeles legs start on other days) for the United Relay. They’ll run day and night until they reach New York. This is the first non-stop running relay! Yes, it’s running history in the making! I’m so excited to be taking part…
It’s official! Spring has sprung in Portland! Flowers are blooming and I’ve skied 50-degree days to prove it… Though that last one was in Utah and Colorado. Don’t get me started on the fact that it dumped snow in all 4 ski areas I’ve been to this year after I left. (read: tone is bitter) …
ONE YEAR IN PORTLAND Last Saturday marked my one year anniversary of moving to Portland! Finding a soul mate (aka Caitlin), making amazing friends, hikes and many other outdoor adventures, teaching at my dream studio, working for two amazing companies and with amazing people, helping open a studio, so much travel and adventure… What an…
