Workout Wednesday: New Kicks!

Hello friends!

Who's ready for some motivation on this hump day? 

Here's a thought that always seems to work for me: just put on your shoes and go! Really, it sounds so simple but as long as I get my running shoes on there's no way I'm backing out of my workout.

As some of you know from my Instagram, I'm doing the Love Your Body series with the lovely ladies of Tone It Up.  One of their challenges is to get 100 miles of cardio by Valentine's Day.  You can log your miles from running, walking, swimming, the elliptical, whatever works for you!  I'm really proud of the miles I've already logged in the past few weeks - just over 46 miles! With all of this extra running, I'm in need of some new kicks. 

My tried and true brands are Asics and Brooks.  They have always been the best for my style of running (picture me gracefully prancing on my toes, haha).  There are other brands I'd like to try as well along with some styles that have caught my eye.

Here's a roundup of my favorites:

Help! Which pair should I get? 

Workout Wednesday: Lulu Lookalikes for Half the Price!

Happy Wednesday everyone! 

Lets talk about something that most of us have a love-hate relationship with: exercise.  On one hand you'd rather watch TV on the couch all night but on the other hand swimsuit season is just around the corner (and that corner is quickly approaching for those of us in Florida). 

You know what makes a workout better for me? The right clothes! And I'm not referring to fashionable workout gear ("ain't nobody got time for that"), I'm talking functional pieces. I was lucky enough to get a fabulous pair of leggings from Santa for Christmas (I wonder how he knew) that are so much like my Lulu's but half the price!

I'm sure those of you who are lucky enough to have a Nordstrom in your city know about Zella. Us Jacksonvillians are impatiently waiting for ours to be completed. However, I couldn't wait any longer. I've seen the reviews, I've heard the testimonies and this momma needed a pair of Zella Live-in Leggings. I got the black ones and wear them all the time - to the gym, under tunics, lounging around the house, you name it! They provide that same figure-flattering lift and are true to size.

I've selected some of my favorite colors and other styles I'd like to try. Let me know what you think. Do you have a Zella obsession like me?

Also, don't forget to check out the interval workout I did on the treadmill last night. Make sure to cater the speed to your comfort level to avoid injury. Enjoy!

With love & gratitude,
