It’s been awhile since I’ve ran an organized race and I’ve missed it so so much! I am so excited to share that I am partnering with Oral-B Glide Floss for the 42nd Annual Bridge to Bridge 12k and 5k here in San Francisco which is taking place on August 26th.

Named “America’s most beautiful run” by Sports Illustrated, the Bridge to Bridge Run is a longstanding tradition in the San Francisco. Oral-B Glide Floss has been the title sponsor of the event for the past 10 years as they continue to inspire people to promote healthy habits- like flossing or participating in a local race!

The 5K/12K race and event expo will takes place on Sunday, August 26 at 8:00am. The race starts at the Bay Bridge, goes down the Embarcadero, through Fisherman’s Wharf and along Marina Green where the 5K finishes. The 12K continues through Crissy Field with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and finally back to Marina Green to finish. Food, drinks, and more will be provided at the after party. I’m so excited to participate in the 12k and get back into running these types of races. I love the running community in San Francisco and this is an iconic one I could not pass up!

FITNESS SERIES: LEGS & GLUTES WITH BAY CLUBS

08.07.2018

Between birthdays and vacations I have been so off track with my nutrition and workouts, so I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things. Once I get back on track its no problem for me to go to the gym or get a workout in, but its getting to that point which is a struggle for me!

Bay Clubs just introduced a new group fitness class called IGNITE which I have been going to and LOVING! Ignite is a mix of high intensity cardio and weight training. Think Barry’s Bootcamp and Orangetheory, but they have you do all sorts of cardio not just treadmill training. Ignite has helped me get back to the gym and I highly suggest you check it out if you have a Bay Club in your area!

Today I wanted to share WORKOUT #3 of my FITNESS SERIES: LEGS AND GLUTES.

Circuit 1: Repeat each exercise 3x them move onto circuit 2

Dumbell lunge to high knee: 10 each leg

Jump lunges: 1 min

Dumbell courtsey lunge: 10 each leg

Circuit 2: Repeat each exercise 3x them move onto circuit 3

Donkey Kick with bands: 15 each leg

Pulse: 30 seconds each leg

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

OUTFIT DETAILS: BELOFORTE SPORTS BRA / LILYBOD LEGGINGS / NIKE SNEAKERS (similar)

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.

Here are a few more of my favorite pieces from Lorna Jane:

#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.
