Weekend Workout

Hello Thursday… I can almost see the weekend from here. Last weekend was super productive as Ben and I finally took down the Christmas decor and organized the house. We took Sunday morning off to get in a nice little weekend workout outdoors, and it felt so good.

I don’t know about you guys… but one of my new years resolutions (this year and every year) was not only to work out more… but to do so outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. Sometimes the thought of going to the gym can get a little daunting (for me at least), so I thought that by enjoying more sweat sessions in good old mother nature I might feel a little more motivated to get my behind in gear! And I am so glad I did – once I’ve finished my workout I always feel so much better.

So, that’s where this post comes in. I thought it would be fun to share with you my fun little workout. I decided to hop on my road bike (which had gathered a few cobwebs since we moved to Arizona), and burn some calories biking to a little tranquil yoga session in the park near our house. Now, I am by no means a professional yogi… or even an amateur one at that (let’s go with beginner). But I know enough basic moves to just get in a good stretch and sweat… and my Old Navy Capris were perfect for the occasion. Afterwards, Ben and I biked to Starbucks and home. A nice little Sunday morning indeed.

And ok, you must note: I am not wearing a helmet strictly for the purposes of shooting this look – call me vain, whatever… but I thought you might want to see my face and not a tub of plastic. However, I do not recommend or support riding without a helmet. I always wear mine. In addition, and as you may know, I am not a personal trainer. Before beginning any new nutritional or exercise regimen, I recommend consulting with your physician first.

That’s it! What did you guys think of this post? I’d love to know if you would like to see more fitness posts like these… leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
