Finding the Fun in Fitness with Reebok

[Glow in the dark yoga!]

Last week I was invited to the 2013 Reebok Women’s Lifestyle and Fitness event here in New York City. Reebok, fitness, fun exercise workshops… You know I didn’t have to think twice about what my RSVP would be.

Reebok supplied us with sneakers, tanks, bras, tees, and tights and I got to spend two days trying out all of their gear while mingling with some of the most passionate and inspiring group of fitness writers, athletes, and bloggers. We all had a blast participating in yoga, running, CrossFit, and dance workouts together. In other words, it was two full days of bliss.

#WhatsBeautiful: Win a trip to the Under Armour Retreat in Costa Rica

This post is sponsored by Under Armour.

You know what’s beautiful? That thanks for Under Armour and FitFluential, I’ve got a bunch of new workout gear on its way to my mailbox right now.

But you know what’s EVEN MORE beautiful? The fact that over the next few weeks, together, we’re all going to set goals, push and encourage each other to achieve them, and all along the way, define “What’s Beautiful” on our own terms..

Under Armour Women is hosting the What’s Beautiful Campaign from now until June 21st in order to inspire and motivate women all around the world to push past their comfort zones and achieve what they once thought was impossible. They’re calling it a “competition to redefine the female athlete.”

Summertime Slim-down Boot Camp: Week 11

Alright, Hungry Readers! It’s time to start week 11 of our Summertime Slim-down Boot Camp!

As I mentioned last week, there are no new workouts from this point forward. For the next four weeks we’re going to be switching it up and adding some pzazz by picking from any of the previous week’s workouts anytime a Hungry Runner Workout is scheduled on the calendar.

Summertime Slim-down Boot Camp: Week 10 Workout

Week 10. Let’s do this!

I say this in the video, but this week don’t forget to go through four rounds of the workout in order to complete the whole thing.

This is our last new boot camp workout. Below you can find our May Workout Calendar, and you will see that after we finish week 10, anytime a “Hungry Runner Workout” is scheduled you’ll choose from any of the previous weeks workouts. Which workouts you choose to do is totally up to you, so you can pick your favorites and really have fun with the last four weeks. My only real rule is that you don’t repeat the same one for the entirety of the four weeks. I suggest picking a different one at least every week, if not more frequently.

Wednesday is the 1st of May, so it’s crunch time now! Keep checking in on Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter using the hashtag #HungryRunnerBootCamp so I can keep up with your progress.

Stay motivated and keep up the good work!

Why is fitness important to me?

No, really. I’m still sort of asking myself this question out loud right now. I’ve been asking it over and over again trying to figure out the answer. When I first started to think about it, I wasn’t sure. I was kind of like, “because it just is”. You know? Health is important. I want to be healthy. It’s as simple as that, right? Well, yeah I guess. This is all true. But that’s not a good enough answer for me. So, I kept thinking and I started to dig a little bit deeper.

I Tried a New Exercise: AntiGravity Yoga Round 2

Last month, I tried AntiGravity yoga at Studio Anya with The Holding Space for the very first time. To start off easy, I took a “restorative” class, which had a calm and relaxed vibe.

Last week, I went back to studio Anya for my second shot at Antigravity Yoga , this time to give the Flying Fitness class a try. My reaction to round 2? How fun! Again, I got to swing around and hang upside own in the hammocks, not being able to help feeling like a little kid on a swing set.
