Herron to Rivera

Yasssss, we made it! Happy  Friday ! Hello Weekend! Hallelujah! To follow up on my earlier post about getting started with your fitness journey are a couple of things that don't necessarily make things easier, but they sure do help! One of those being music. Having a playlist when you're working or running helps make the time go by faster and also gets you in the rhythm. I'm pretty hit or miss with music-I can go run outside without head phones and be perfectly fine (really the worrier in me just wants to be able to hear anything just in case), but on the treadmill is where I can lose focus. I need something that kees me going, so I put together a few of my top kick-ass songs to workout to: Alive-Sia. My newest fave. This song is so perfect to run to and has an awesome build up. When it hits that main chorus I feel like punching the air! I can do anything with this song on! And then I hit replay :)  Untouched-The Veronicas . This has been a long time fave, stemming...

...Robert's my witness, for the most part. It's coming up on mid-January, and that means the newly joined fitness club members are in full force. Don't quit yet! As a self proclaimed "gym rat" (not to be confused with fitness expert or obsessive gym girl), I know the frustration all the normals are going through right now with the new attendees taking up their spot, but at the end of the day they are only there to start a better life, and you can't stay mad at that!  I love going to the gym. I'm not there everyday, but it's a great place to get away from normal day to day life and just focus on myself. I feel my best right after I've just kicked ass, but that's just me. I was basically born an athlete, so I've put together a couple of things that I think could help anyone get started! Ready? Get 'er done! - Start. That's the hardest part, right? Making a change and physically acting on that change instead of...

So I had the opportunity to try some Bikram Yoga last night courtesy of Jessica...you know...the yoga that is in a boiling hot room for 90 minutes? If I can play a 90 minute soccer game in the dead heat of the summer (which was done many a time!), then I can do this-right? I'm always up for trying something new, and since I have been doing Piyo classes pretty regularly, I felt like this was a cool next step to try out. Plus, it's something I've always been curious in doing, but just never had someone to do it with or the opportunity to go to. She had asked myself and friend Brittany to try, and we did! So thank you Jess-it was....fun? Intriguing? Crazy? Ha!  I'm not going to lie-I was more worried about doing the actual yoga poses and not looking like an idiot in front of all these pros because 1) I'm not that flexible and 2) I'm still not that flexible. But it wasn't bad! And I felt like I could hold my own! I'm definitely not the best yoga pose p...
