Fitness

When quarantine hit, the thing that shocked me the most was how much I missed going to the gym. I’ve always been a gym-goer, but only begrudgingly.

Like a lot of moms, I’m extremely busy. I have two kids under 8, I work full-time at a University, and I also somehow manage to maintain nearly a full-time side-hustle as a blogger, while trying to also fit in family time and parenting duties.

I don’t like running. Scratch that. I don’t like the pain (or perceived pain) I associate with running. I had no plans of running a 10K. Then suddenly, I was selected to be a part of an elite group of fit women and to be an ambassador for RUN 10 FEED 10. Say what?

I was invited to try out a new fitness studio called the Haute Room. I agreed to review the class and the Haute Room is giving one lucky reader 5 free classes! The opinions in the review are completely my own.

Athleisure is here to stay. I remember talking to a friend recently about how casual Americans dress compared to other parts of the world. (We are headed to South America soon, and the vibe is much dressier down there). But even if other places require a lot more dressed-up looks, here in the U.S., people love their denim and, even more casual, the standard black leggings or sweats. Lately, I’ve seen more and more women choosing to wear a matching activewear set, so I thought it was time I try one for myself.
