Green Apple Active – Lifestyle and Fitness Apparel

Posted on August 31, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness, Product Reviews | Tags: Green Apple Active, Moisture Wicking Organic Bamboo Apparel, Organic Cotton fitness apparel | 2 Comments

I tend to live in my workout clothes. At school drop-off, you’ll see me in my yoga pants or leggings with a loose top or tank. Lately I’ve been looking for an outfit that doesn’t scream “I just got out of my cycle class!” & for one that looks more like casual weekend or lounge wear. It’s important that either top or bottom piece can take me from the gym to a doctor’s appointment to school pick-up. Remember when I went to BlogFest last … [Read more...]

Highlights from #BlogFest at #IdeaWorld

Posted on July 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: BlogFest 2015, IDEA World Fitness Conference, Sweat Pink Fit Approach | 16 Comments

Last week I attended IDEA World Fitness BlogFest with Sweat Pink. I had never been to IDEA World, but I knew it would be a good experience based on what my blogger friends had told me. So I drove to the Convention Center in DTLA for 2 days straight & I have to say that it was an amazing experience. In a nutshell this conference is where food, fitness, nutrition & social media converge all under one roof! Inspiring Speakers There were … [Read more...]

Weightlifting at Novo Body Fitness in Encino

Posted on July 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Encino weightlifting studio, Miguel Novo, Novo Body Fitness | 2 Comments

Confession: I'm a former cardio junkie who used to only focus on spinning classes, cardio kickboxing, stair climber machines & treadmills. It's not that those fitness classes or exercise machines are inherently bad, it's just that I needed to add some strength-training to my exercise regimen. I used to think (many years ago) that I should not lift weights that are heavier than 5 pounds, for fear that I would "bulk up." Now I know … [Read more...]

FXP Hula Hoop Workout

Posted on May 19, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Cardio Workout DVD, FXP Fitness, Hula Hoop Workout | 4 Comments

I know from my own experience that if you do not enjoy your workout, then you are less likely to commit to it & be consistent. Personally I like variety & trying new exercise classes. However between work & my daughter’s school schedule, I don’t always have time to hit the gym. So when I heard about FXP Hula Hoop, which is a workout that you can do at home, I decided to give it a whirl! The FXP Hula Hoop Starter Kit comes … [Read more...]

Checking Out Drenched Fitness – aka #BritneysFaveWorkout

Posted on March 12, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Britney Spears workout, Drenched Fitness, Westlake Village fitness studio | 7 Comments

Last month I attended an event at Drenched Fitness in Westlake Village. During the class I alternated between running on a treadmill & floor exercises using the HIIT method (high-intensity interval training). All the while, a local DJ played music that kept me motivated & pumped up. The class was a total hit HIIT! Afterwards, much like the studio name implies, I was totally drenched! Fortunately I was able to pull myself together … [Read more...]

WundaBar Studio City – Pilates Reinvented

Posted on February 23, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Amy Jordan, Studio City Pilates, WundaBar Pilates | Leave a Comment

If you’ve seen the photos on my Instagram account, then you’ll probably notice a few things – I love food, I attend a lot of children’s events & that I like to work out! The food part is easy to explain – I like eating! I also attend a lot of kids stuff due to my day job. The working out part is critical for me, since I do have to offset all of that eating, but also it’s good for my mental health. My family knows that mama gets a little … [Read more...]
