SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk

Posted on October 1, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness, Local Events, Reviews | Tags: charity fundraiser, educational programs, Pier to Pier Friendship Walk, SKECHERS, South Bay, special needs children, The Friendship Circle | Leave a Comment

Disclosure: The wonderful folks at SKECHERS invited me down to their headquarters last month to learn about the SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk. I was treated to a luncheon provided by Fresh Brothers & received a gift card for a free pair of SKECHERS shoes. In return, I got to meet the awesome people at The Friendship Circle of the South Bay. No compensation was received for this post & all opinions are my own. On a sunny day in … [Read more...]

During my spin class this morning, I found myself lost in the music that was blaring from the speaker system. It got me thinking…what are my top 10 songs to workout to? Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Stronger by Kanye West Feel this Moment by Pitbull (with Christina Aguilera) Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz California Love by 2Pac, Dr. Dre & Roger … [Read more...]

Getting Back Into the Exercise Groove

Posted on August 29, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: 5k, exercise, fitness, food, KIND bars, Neverland 5k, Sparkly Soul headband, stand-up paddleboard, SUP, Tinkerbell Half Marathon, TRX, workout | 7 Comments

Now that my daughter is back in school, I get to resume my workouts on a regular basis. I did workout over the summer, but I have to admit that it did start to taper off. Once it hit August, my three times a week workouts turned into once or twice a week. I always work better when I have a goal in mind. This past spring, I worked out 3-4 times a week because we were going on a family vacation in June to Disney’s Aulani in Hawaii. I had wanted to … [Read more...]

Fun Day at Annenberg Community Beach House

Posted on August 21, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness, Mommy Stuff | Tags: Annenberg Community Beach House, beach day, family fun, pool, Santa Monica, stand-up paddleboarding | 8 Comments

This past weekend I went with my family to the Annenberg Community Beach House. This is by far my favorite place in Santa Monica for family fun in the sun. We started out the day by going to the pool. There are plenty of lounge chairs, tables, umbrellas & two changing rooms. They even have a recreation room on the second floor where you can take your kids to play checkers or read while taking in an ocean view. Also next to the beach house … [Read more...]

Strong is the New Skinny

Posted on July 7, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: exercise, fitness routine, Griffith Park, gym rat, paddleboarding, The Trails Cafe, TRX | 8 Comments

Confession: I am a gym rat. There have been periods in my life where I stopped going to the gym – pregnancy, stressful job, etc. However, in general, I live for going to the gym. Let’s back up a bit… Back in high school, my fitness goals had less to do with being healthy & more to do about losing weight. Let’s just say that the scale has not been my friend since 11th grade. Lol… Since then, my position has evolved towards the goal of being … [Read more...]

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number

Posted on July 1, 2013 | Filed Under: Fitness, Mommy Stuff | Tags: aging, birthday, goals, intentions, milestones, stand-up paddleboarding | 10 Comments

Later in the year, I will be celebrating a milestone birthday. Yep, I’m turning 40! While that may seem daunting to some, I’m actually feeling better about it than when I turned 30. There’s a R&B song titled “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” & in my opinion that’s a good phrase to live by. I started this summer with the intention of doing new things that I’ve never tried, sort of like a bucket list. I’ve always wanted to try … [Read more...]
