in Fitness and Exercise
I'll start by saying I am fortunate to have a physically demanding profession, which obviously helps keep me active on a daily basis. However, I have always tried to boost my activity level each week with and exercise routine outside of work. A few weeks ago, a friend suckered me into trying Zumba®. I am hooked, hooked, hooked! I just can't get enough!!! So, what turns your wheels?

    I love trail running & lifting heavy stuff. I also just finished Insanity, it was crazy, but I loved it. I started Chalean Extreme this week and so far I really like it as well.

    I am in love with hiking. Here in Arizona there are tons of awesome hiking trails. The weather is perfect for it, until summer rolls around! :sad:

    I like Yolaties, which is a combination of Yoga and PIlates. I've seen You Tube videos on Standing Pilates which are very similar to what we do in class. Lots of balance and core work.

    Running and cycling, my favourite session is the long one, I find the time helps me clear my head and process the stress of work.
