Back to the Gym

Yesterday was a great day…I finally made it to the gym!!! Normally I would be so excited about the gym but it has been months since I’ve been able to workout. For the past couple of months, Ive been focused on simple stretches and core work but I ve been missing my cardio (I love my cardio!). I still can’t run without pain in my lower back. But I was able to stay on the elliptical for 30 min with out any discomfort. I was so happy after my workout so I treated myself to frozen yogurt!

Traveling...

I didn’t realize how easy it is for me to workout while I’m at home. I have plenty of space in my apartment making it very convenient. For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been traveling all over the place. We flew to NY, took the bus to Syracuse, train to Philly and extra flight to Atlanta due to bad weather and cancelled flights…..adding up to hours and hours of sitting. After the first flight, my back was achy but I figured it was just temporary…but lugging my giant suitcase through the city that same day didn’t help at all. I felt like a vagabond …haha….traveling from city to city. I had no time or space to relax and work out. I was so happy I remembered to bring Vicodin !!! Let just say traveling and my back don’t mix…

Websites

Lately I have been on the look out for good yoga and dance studios since I havent been able to run or work on cardio at the gym.

These are two of the places Ive tried so far and would recommend.

Bikram Yoga South Pasadena
-Bikram is hot yoga...so expect to sweat! Its a small studio but my instructor was very helpful. They also have student discounts and first class discounts.

The Granada - Let's Dance LA - Alhambra
-They offer all type of dance class but mostly ballroom type.
