fitmob and MobTribe / Athleta Gift Card Giveaway

Logo-Full-Large Happy Monday! Whenever I come across a new workout, you know I love sharing with you guys. 🙂 Have you guys heard of fitmob? fitmob offers fun and challenging workouts with top trainers in various neighborhoods in the bay area. Workouts range from cardio, strength training, to dance and yoga, also both indoor and outdoor. Unlike any gym membership, fitmob members can workout in various neighborhoods nearby, and pay weekly. The best part, members are rewarded for working out, so the more you workout, the less you pay each week! Sounds pretty cool right? CE1_7762 CE2_7187 Well if that wasn’t enough, now fitmob is offering a new program called MobTribes. MobTribes is a shared personal training program that is affordable, fun and combines the coaching of a trainer with the motivation from a team. Its a group of 2-6 people matched with a top rated certified trainer handpicked by fitmob that can meet at any location picked by the tribe. MobTribes is easy to use using an app which allows you to check in with your trainer and tribe. And sharing makes it more affordable! The cost is $34 per session if you commit to 12 sessions. And if you invite your friends, you and your friends only pay $29 per session. 10-6-2014 2-54-05 PM MobTribes-300x250

Acai Smoothie Bowl with ZICO

Zico coconut water is my go-to for hydration needs. I love the flavor of coconut water, especially before or after working out. Zico can also be used in smoothies, baking and protein shakes, among other delicious recipes. Right now I’m really into Acai smoothies bowls. Acai berries are basically THE BEST thing for you (in my opinion, not even kidding!). You can read more about acai here, here, and here.

For my smoothie bowls, I basically throw some fruit, zico water, a frozen acai packet and sometimes greek yogurt or protein powder into a blender then top a few healthy ingredients I have laying around in my kitchen.

This particular bowl I blended the following ingredients:

  • Zico water
  • Frozen blueberry and strawberry mixture
  • Frozen Acai packet (bought at whole foods)
  • Non fat greek yogurt
  • Protein powder (optional-I used designer whey strawberry flavor)

Then topped with the following:

  • Chia seeds
  • Oats
  • coconut chips
  • Fresh berries

This is perfect for breakfast or really any time of day! (I’ll post some green smoothies soon!)

And here’s another morning smoothie I had the other day using ZICO:

Giant Race Recap

I finally uploaded our pics from the Giant Race from a few weekends ago. We had SO much fun, and if you follow me on Facebook and Instagram you may have noticed that Jeff ran with my mom and I for the very first time!! Let’s start by saying that he HATES running. He is not a fan of cardio, although he lifts with me on a daily basis. He has always sworn he will never run with me…until now. I don’t know what I convinced him, but I did. We were a little nervous for him, as he has not ran in over 10 years up until the day of the race. (Not recommended!) Believe it or not, he did awesome!! I stuck with him throughout and we finished with 9:30 pace. So proud!

Running with family and friends is the absolute best. If you have a family member that isn’t into running, start with a 5k. Make it a family affair. (I actually convinced my Dad to join us in our next 5k!!!)  Encourage your loved ones to get out there with you, its a great environment to be around like minded, active, happy people.

So you all know my routine… gym, gym, gym and a nice long run outdoors. However, this can definitely get monotonous and I have been getting that class itch lately. It’s great to add a class into your routine in order to keep things exciting as well as hit different muscle groups.

ClassPass in located in the following city’s:

Boston // Chicago // New York // Los Angeles // San Francisco

And have many fitness studios in each city. Here are some of my faves on repeat here in San Francisco:

PicMonkey Collage

…But there are so many more I am looking forward to trying which I can easily do with ClassPass.

Water to Wine Half Marathon Recap

Finally posting some photos from the Water to Wine half marathon a few weeks ago! Better late than never right? Located in the beautiful wine country right outside of Healdsburg in Santa Rosa, we had so much fun at this race. Personally, I think its so much more fun to run with girlfriends. We chatted and encouraged each other the whole time, and the wine at the end was a major motivator to get to the finish line. I didn’t set a goal time, but we finished in 2:04. With another marathon in the books, I’m going to set a goal of 1:50 for my next half coming up in October. Time to train!!

My ladies! So much fun having girlfriends to run with, love you Luba and Athena!

Loved the medal. It was actually a wine stopper- pretty cool!

Shorts: Nike

Shoes: Asics GT 2000

Compression socks: CEP

unnamed (3)

Post race we decided to do a wine a food pairing at the winery (Kendall Jackson). The food and wine were both phenomenal! Not to mention, the winery is the perfect setting for a race.

Throwing my feet up after the race was much needed! Also swapped my asics for these Nikes. The most comfortable shoe ever.

Thanks to run wine country for putting on such a fun event! I would definitely recommend this race to those in the area.

Do you have a race coming up? Please do share!

I have a few other marathon articles and training guides: here, here , here, here and here. Happy reading!
