I Tried a New Exercise: 30/60/90 at Equinox
Just after I declared my three-week vacation from running, my friend Vicky got in touch with me to find out if I wanted to try some exercise classes at Equinox with her. What perfect timing! I was on a break from running and on the hunt for new, workouts. My reply was an immediate “Yes!”
She signed us up for the club’s “30/60/90″ group exercise class, which is a high intensity interval workout created by Kristi Molinaro that combines cardio, strength training, plyometrics, and static holds. In other words, it is a KILLER workout.

35-minute circuit workout, plus 20 minutes of walking hills on the treadmill and some quality time with the foam roller turned the Monday Blues into “Let’s kick this week in the butt!” Workout powered by a Chocolate Peanut Butter-Banana Hemp Protein Smoothie, which I will be posting the recipe for in the very near future.

10 Reasons Why You Should Workout On The Weekends.

Do you workout five days a week and take the weekends off? Are you sure you want to do that? Here’s how I look at it. You work Monday through Friday, eight hours a day and are completely exhausted. Most of the time you force yourself to workout after work/school or before. I find that stressful. And isn’t  stress one of the main factors in weight gain?  After torturing yourself throughout the week rushing to workouts, work/school and life you crash on the weekends. In my opinion, weekends are the best time to workout. If you want to workout five days a week, fine! Just space it out to make it less stressful. Take two of your busiest workdays off to rest and workout on the weekends instead.

Here are ten good reasons to workout on the weekends. 

  1. You can still sleep in. 
  2. You workout on your time.
  3. Working out on the weekend will help you make healthier choices throughout the day. 
  4. You can workout with your friends or family who also have the day off.
  5. You can workout outside of the gym. (hiking, swimming, golfing, dancing, biking, walking the dog)
  6. You have time to relax afterwords instead of rushing back to work or school. 
  7. Working out puts you in a better mood.
  8. If you feel like indulging on a Saturday night or Sunday meal, you won’t have any guilt. 
  9. You have more time to reach your goals. 
  10. It’s hard to come up with excuses not to workout on the weekend.
