As I’ve gotten back into a consistent workout routine, I’ve wanted to move past my go-to circuits and create some new fun to mix things up. Last week, I shared my Pure Cardio HIIT workout, and this week I have another one for you: It’s a lot of basic exercises that I love, and it…
Pure Cardio HIIT Workout + My Favorite Things
For those days when you’re full of energy and want to have an awesome, heart-pumping workout, cardio feels amazing. I recently craved the intensity of an HIIT, cardio-focused circuit, so I crafted a new workout. It took me around 25 minutes to complete three times through. The old lady that I am, my hip was…
Two Words: LA Marathon
So guess what… This coming March, I will be running in the ASICS LA Marathon!!! This will be numero dos for me, with my first 26.2 being the Surf City Marathon two years ago. Last year, I was questioning whether I’d ever run a second marathon ever, but the people at ASICS recently approached me…
ASICS GEL-FIT SANA Training Shoe Review
If you were not already aware, my favorite athletic shoe brand is ASICS – just look at the picture below of my collection. (And that’s excluding a pair I just left in Chicago at my dad’s house.) Ever since my first race (half marathon) four years ago, I’ve been buying ASICS shoes, minus a pair…
Holiday Gift Guide for Runners
So today is December 22nd, and I’m still not done doing my Christmas gift shopping/creating (DIY for the win). I’m really good at procrastinating when it comes to gift giving, but it gets done, so that’s all that matters. If you’re still searching for things to get someone – more specifically, a runner, or if…
Electric Run Recap
Or as I like to call it “The 5K of Selfies” because everyone was stopped everywhere before, during, and after to take selfies. This past Saturday night, a few friends and I ran the Electric Run – and by ran, I mean power walked because one of our teammates hadn’t completely recovered from a sprained…
December Full Body Challenge
So it occurred to me this morning that this is my last post of November. First of all, when did November even happen? I feel like Halloween was yesterday. Anywho, I figured I’d take advantage of today’s post to plan a month-long extravaganza in the form of a workout challenge. I’ve done a plank challenge,…
How Long Does It Take to Get Out of Shape After Being Sick
Exactly a week ago I posted on ways to prevent and get rid of colds, and then this past Wednesday BOOM the flu hit me. Oy vey. This got me thinking. The last time I had the flu, I was training for my marathon. It was a month before the race, and I was completely…
My Favorite Things + Get Fired Up Treadmill Workout
So it occurred to me recently that with this upcoming move, I will no longer have access to a treadmill fo’ free. Although I actually hate the treadmill, I like to have the option to go on it, ya know?! Since my days with treadmills is coming to an end (at least for awhile because…
Sweaty Bands Review + Headband Giveaway {Closed}
Disclaimer: I was sent a Sweaty Bands headband for free to review. All opinions are my own. My name is Katie, and I friggin’ love fitness apparel. No matter how cute certain workout clothes are, though, I have standards. Let’s face it; sometimes the cute stuff isn’t the most practical. The quality clothes are when…
Active Nation Day with Lorna Jane
If you weren’t already aware, Sunday is Active Nation Day – a single day dedicated to women getting active to promote healthy living. The yearly event was created by Lorna Jane, who is an Aussie designer of women’s fitness apparel. The essence of Lorna Jane and her brand goes way past workout clothes though: “When people…
My Favorite Things + Pre-Race Day Bike Workout
Before I get into today’s post, I’d like to announce the winners of the Quest protein bar giveaway! Congrats to Courtney F. and Elle! I’ve already sent the emails to the winners, but thanks to everyone that entered. 🙂 Second order of business: I wanted to share a little workout I did on Saturday –…
Aloha Run 5K Recap
We spent our Sunday morning running the Aloha Run 5K, and it went by in a flash! That’s probably because we’re such fast runners though. (And by we, I mean Matt. He friggin won 3rd in his age group of 25-29. #rockstar) It was the 2nd annual Aloha Run, and it seemed very well put…
So This One Time I Did Bikram Hot Yoga…
Bikram yoga is a type of hot yoga where you perform stretching, balancing, and breathing exercises during a 90-minute class in a room that is set to about 104 degrees with humidity at 40%. It’s similar to normal yoga, but you feel like you’re going to die the whole time. A few weeks ago, a…
My Favorite Things + Get Ripped Ab Circuit
Even though I got sick of doing the same ab workout three days a week for 10 weeks of P90X, I also liked how good of a workout it was. To mimic the awesomeness that is Ab Ripper X, I created the below ab circuit. It takes about 10 minutes to go through twice, and…
