The Insider’s Guide to ElliptiFit

Posted on February 26, 2014 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: elliptical, ElliptiFit, group fitness class, high intensity workout, low impact, West LA | 5 Comments

For those that follow my blog, you know that I completed a 5k race in mid-January. However when I was sidelined earlier this month with plantar fasciitis, my podiatrist told me that the best cardio workout for someone with my condition would be cycling or the elliptical. So when I heard about ElliptiFit, I was super excited to take the class! I love taking group fitness classes. The boost that you get from an instructor with a great attitude, … [Read more...]

Last Friday I ran in my very first runDisney race – the Never Land 5k! The Never Land 5k was just one of several races taking place during Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend. The 5k race started at 5:45am – yes that’s crazy early I know, but it was well worth it to see these fantastic views of Sleeping Beauty Castle lit up in the wee hours of the morning! The race was kicked off by a fireworks show & a special appearance by Tinker Bell! … [Read more...]

Running Around Hollywood – The Hard Rock Cafe 5k

Posted on November 8, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: 5k, ENERGYbits, Hard Rock Cafe, Hollywood, running, ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, Sparkly Soul | 6 Comments

Last Friday my daughter had the day off of school. Since my hubby took the day off of work, they both accompanied me to Hollywood & Highland so that I could pick-up my bib for the Hard Rock Cafe 5k, which was taking place the next day. My daughter “insisted” that we get Beard Papa cream puffs & I was like – “wait, we hadn’t even had lunch yet!” So we got a half-dozen in a box to go. Since my husband is rarely in this part of town he … [Read more...]

This past Tuesday I braved the 405 Freeway & the dreaded Sepulveda Pass to Santa Monica. For those who live in the San Fernando Valley, you can feel my pain.

For those familiar with my blog, you know how much I like this place from my earlier review. … [Read more...]
