In NYC fitness trends are huge. I feel like each week I hear about a new class someone is obsessed with or that will transform your body. I have definitely joined this somewhat cult-like culture in the past year and when I like something I tend to go a little overkill. First, I fell in love with Flywheel. Then, I discovered Soul-cycle. Soul-cycle will always have a special place in my heart, and there were weeks over the past winter when I was going 5x a week.
This summer I've been addicted to Physique57 - again going sometimes 5x a week. The downside to these obsessions is that running can go on the back-burner. I'm still on the physique kick, but I'm going to limit it to once or twice a week. I don't think that any of these classes (or any workout) should be your only form of exercise if you really want results.
For me, there is nothing better than running first thing in the morning. I'm the last person that likes waking up before 7am, but it is the best way for my mind and body to start the day.
I ran my firsf half-marathon in March, and yes, training through the winter was not ideal, but I miss having something to train for and a goal to go after. Ironically, I actually gained weight training for the race....I was always hungry and thought I could eat anything I wanted after a long run, woops.
At the finish with my 2 friends and running buddies (It was FREEZING).
Maybe I'll sign up for some road races or another half, but either way my goal will be to run more. So as my Labor Day weekend ends and the Fall of 2013 begins, I'm making a recommitment to morning runs because there's nothing better than this:
