FITNESS SERIES: CORE WORKOUT WITH BAY CLUBS

07.05.2018

I am so excited to share the second post of my MINI FITNESS SERIES! As you all know, fitness is a huge part of my life and its only natural that I share that with you all. As a part of my blog, I will share a fitness series with you at least once a month that highlights a specific workout while also highlighting some of my favorite activewear brands.

So today I’m sharing a little bit more about WHERE I workout on a daily basis, along with a killer core workout to get your abs burning!

We have been members of Bay Club San Francisco for about 4 months now and we cant imagine being members anywhere else! Prior, we were at 24 hour fitness, and Bay Clubs is such a different atmosphere I absolutely love it.

Bay Clubs is more of a lifestyle and a place where I look forward to spending time each day. We spend a lot of time in the gym, so to have full amenities is such a treat. Bay Clubs has a great community of active people and is such an uplifting atmosphere.

We love all of the amenities the club offers. They have swimming pools, basketball courts, cycling studio, full spa, a variety of group fitness classes, a gorgeous lounge, cafe (happy hour each night), a shop (hello Lululemon), shuttle and the list goes on! There is nothing missing from this club! I also love that there are many rooms and many different places to workout within the club. For instance, there is a main fitness floor, but about 7-8 different rooms that you can use anytime to either lift weights, use a cardio machine, practice yoga, pilates or crossfit. I love that if the main gym is busy, there are so many alternative places to workout and feel comfortable.

Needless to say, if you are on the hunt for a new gym I highly recommended you check out Bay Clubs. Its really the best you can get in the city.

Now for a killer core workout!

Repeat each circuit 3 times before moving on the next. Also try not to rest in between each exercise within the circuit. For added intensity, incorporate a cardio move in between circuits. I love jumping rope or rowing for 2 mins in between.

Circuit 1: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Crunch with weight overhead

Air bike

Plank Jack

Plank hold

Circuit 2: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Running man in plank position

Dumbell side bend (rotate rides)

Plank, knee to elbow (rotate sides)

Plank hold

Circuit 3: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Russian Twist with weight

Flutter kicks

Leg raise

Plank hold

Now lets talk activewear! I mixed it up a bit for this post, wearing both Lilybod leggings and Beloforte sports bra.

Lilybod has a lot of different fun legging options with fun designs and stripes. Here are a few pairs that I’m loving:

I am also a HUGE fan of Beloforte. Their Fall 17 line is TO DIE FOR. The season features a range of mauve, nude and black activewear including sports bras, tanks, leggings and sweatshirts. Looking forward to sharing this dusty rose set with you all on the blog soon!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!

As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been a huge fan of Lorna Jane activewear for a long time now, and one of the best things about blogging is working with brands that I admire.

Lorna Jane has so many fun, stylish pieces! They have such a great assortment of colors, fabrics, and styles I really love the selection! These leggings above are one of my favorite leggings I’ve tried. The material is so soft, and comfortable, the quality is really amazing. I love how supportive and comfortable the sports bra is, and the long sleeve tee is another favorite.

#UPFORANYTHING CHALLENGE WITH ATHLETA

01.21.2018

I am so excited to kick off the new year with a fitness campaign! Athleta has been one of my favorite activewear brands for years now so I immediately accepted the challenge when they nominated me to be a part of their #UPFORANYTHING campaign. Athleta’s goal for the #UPFORANYTHING challenge is to push women out of their comfort zone in our new #UPFORANYTHING gear and take a fitness class that we’ve always dreamed of taking- or maybe a class that we’ve needed that extra push to take.

Challenge accepted! I grabbed my partner in crime Amira, and we decided to take a boxing class! I’ve wanted to get into boxing for years now, but have never pulled the trigger. I figured it would get me out of my comfort zone, and regular routine of running and/or weightlifting, and that it did!

Athleta sent us all the gear we needed to take our first boxing class: Up For Anything Tights, All in Bras, Essence Tie Back Tanks, and a Swell water bottle.

Armed and ready, Amira and I headed to Pilates Pro Works in San Francisco to take their MatBox class. I’ve been meaning to take this class forever and I’m so glad we did! The class started with a cardio warmup including jumping jacks, burpees, pushups and more to get our heart rate going. Then we got to high intensity boxing and kickboxing with a punching bag where we did rounds of different sets. Amira and I shared a bag and had so much fun letting loose and going for it! Then the gloves came off and we did a few light weight training moves and ended with a yoga sequence. I absolutely LOVED the variety in this class! Ending with yoga seemed to be the perfect cool down to what was a very intense class. And not to mention, it was such a great workout and a great way to get out any extra tension. My hands were sore, but my adrenaline took over!

The Up for Anything tights were perfect for class. They are made from a sculptek light fabric for the perfect combination of movement and support. They are so so comfortable, have a high waist band which hugs in all of the right places, and also have four convenient pockets which I love. Athleta sports bras have always been my all time favorite, and this All in Bra is no different. It provides such great support and just fits so well. If you are in the market for new tights and bra, these two are it!

Athleta’s mission is to ignite a community of active, healthy and confident women who empower each other to realize their limitless potential. This campaign did just that. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in Athleta’s mission and get out of my comfort zone to try something new. I am now obsessed with boxing and will be adding to my routine go forward.

Now its your turn to push yourself to try something new! Pick a class that you have never taken before, grab and friend and go for it! xo

*Thank you Athleta for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

WORKOUT WITH MICHI // DISCOUNT CODE

08.29.2017

MICHI NY is a super rad brand that I found on instagram and have been obsessed with ever since. MICHI is known for their high-end fashion forward sports wear, perfect for the woman who doesn’t want to look like everyone else during her workout. She requires high performance clothing and wants to feel confident and empowered during her workout.

Sometimes you feel a special connection with a brand and this was one that I knew I had to work with. So today I am excited to be partnering with MICHI to share an all white activewear look + some of my favorites from the brand.

They are also giving you loves a special discount code for 10% off. You can use code: TEAMJENNA at checkout.

OUTFIT DETAILS: MICHI CROP TOP / MICHI LEGGINGS / SUEDE JACKET (PICTURED BELOW) / GIVENCHY BAG (UNDER $60) / NIKE AIR ZOOM PEGASUS SNEAKERS

I cant stress enough the superior quality of the line. These leggings fit like a glove and they are so dang comfortable. They are not too tight, the material is not too thick, they are just right! This crop is something that I haven’t seen anywhere else which I was drawn to. There are so many activewear brands that are doing the same thing, but MICHI has items that are different. I love the open back, although you do have to wear this top with a sports bra. I would however where the black version without a bra if I was just lounging and not working out.

I am in love with all of the fashionable activewear pieces below! This bomber and this jacket are GORGEOUS! I really love their leggings and wear this olive green pair often. And can we talk about these sports bras and tops?! This off the shoulder is a fave for more of a “athleisure” look, and this bra and this bra are both insane!

Don’t forget to use the discount code TEAMJENNA on the MICHI site at checkout! xo

FROM GYM TO STREET: THE MESH LEGGINGS YOU NEED IN YOUR CLOSET

08.08.2017

I love a good pair of leggings that I can wear both in the gym and out and about whether that be grabbing a cup of coffee or running errands. I’m usually a black legging kind of girl and no matter how many I have piling up in my closet, I always find the need for another! Hopefully I’m not the only one! 🙂

Today I’m sharing the perfect mesh legging from Lanston Sport. I’m a HUGE fan of the mesh trend, but I do find myself very particular about how much mesh, where the mesh is located etc. I find it can be over done very easily, but these are the perfect pair that you need in your closet.

OUTFIT DETAILS: LANSTON SPORT LEGGINGS (C/O) / LANSTON SPORT SPORTS BRA (C/O) / LEATHER JACKET / ADIDAS NMD RUNNERS / GIVENCHY BAG (UNDER $60)

I’ve mentioned this quite a bit but in San Francisco we LOVE our leggings, leather jacket, and almost always go for an all black look. This is definitely what you will find me wearing after work, or on the weekends.

I LIVE in these leggings, as the mesh hits in all of the right places. This sports bra is also one of my favorites due to the fact that it has side cutouts, and a thicker band which makes it much for comfortable for me. If you have never tried Lanston Sport, I highly recommend you check out this brand! They have so many cute fashionable and functional workout wear!

Here are a few more of my favorite pieces from Lanston Sport. At the top of my list are both these and these black and white leggings, as well as this sports bra and this cami.

Hope you all have a great week! xo
