My Fall Workout Goals

It's averaging 100+ degree every day and I've had to adjust my routine to take the heat into account.  Sometimes it means settling for an indoor workout in the AC or scheduling an evening walk much later at night when it's cooler. After a month of hiatus and sporadic workouts, am craving a routine with a target goal. My Fall fitness goals are; #1. Flexibility : So we are getting back into yoga and stretches #2. Cardio : because the weight meeehhn...the weight needs to GO #3. Back and Core strength to look cute in a 2 piece swim suite. C'est tous mes amies. No self righteous plans or intentions.

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?
