Expresso HD Virtual Reality Exercise Bike

By far the BEST indoor riding experience I have ever had! This bike is amazing! especially for people who easily get bored with stationary bikes. There's a reason why spinning instructors always try to come up with creative ways to keep people motivated in their classes. Riding a stationary bike can become pretty boring within minutes into the ride.  With the expresso bike, the handle is steerable , allowing you to ride through many cool and interesting high definition trails, cities, school campuses and etc. There's also a  video game mode that allows you to play a variety of games as you ride along. I love that the idea is to mimic real time outdoor riding including your occasional steep hills. You have to hold the handle bars and steer instead of your typical gym bikes where I see a lot of people just laying back reading a novel while biking with minimum effort.  The only slight downside worth mentioning is how jarring to the senses ...

Morning Trail Run

I am on an agenda to spend as much time outdoors as possibly before we get hit with the first snow storm in Boston. For me, no indoor exercise class beats a morning trail run. And as usual, every time I need to make a decision, I hit the trails. Yup, am that girl running in the woods, talking to myself or to trees, squirrels and any other animal that would listen to me list off pros and cons of a given decision. Sometimes I get an answer Other times I discover new questions and dimensions to the issue* If you live on the side of the world that actually gets cold during winter (side eye to California), what are you doing to keep exercising outdoors?

Birthday Reflections 2016

It's my birthday! And for this year, there is nothing "new" I want to reflect on. I have no new goals; long term or short term. I am still working on the ones I created within the past couple of years.  For 2016, I already know the tasks at hand. Now all I need is focus and perseverance. Less talking more doing. Less pity parties more gratitude celebrations And above all, to find ways to celebrate being alive regularly Many Thanks! to all your well wishes and words of encouragements If you're curious about my past reflections, click below Reflections of 2011 Reflections 2012 Reflections 2013 Reflections 2014
