Sometimes working out indoors gets boring – especially when it’s a nice day outside and you feel the need for some fresh air. Houston has a ton of parks and green space that are the perfect place to fit in an outdoor workout. As a former (and hopefully returning) marathoner – I’ve run in and […]

I recently got back from a Carnival cruise with my family and we had a great time. Last time I went, I blogged about how you can stay fit on a cruise – since they have so many options. But, this time around – I wanted to focus a little more on the food. Even […]
Now that my daughter is one – she’s kind of in between ages for “baby workouts” or mommy and me classes where you bring your baby. Most of those are designed for babies that will be super still or sleep in their strollers. But, she’s also too young for “toddler yoga” and some classes where […]
