The Nature in Outdoor Workouts

Hiking In Los Angeles, CA

 

Summer is around the corner, so I ditch my 4" louboutins and lip gloss for lululemon gear and my comfy asics tennies. It's time to succumb to less that perfect hair and start making my clothes work as hard as I do. Why not take a hike or a brisk walk and embrace nature while you burn some calories. I love outdoor workouts because it challenges my body to inclines, declines and obstacles, while leaving behind the monotony of any indoor workout machine. And besides, I hate when I am sandwiched between 2 occupied machines as I get a collective whiff of body odor and sweat dripping on my machine. GROSS!!! Studies have shown that outdoor activities increases your mood and boosts your self-esteem. I'm in!! Hiking is much more appealing than any indoor workout because it mentally and physically stimulates me as I shed calories. Whether hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, or taking a brisk walk in Central Park in New York City, outdoor workouts will beat boredom, boost confidence, and endurance and burn fat!!

NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

NEW YORK......here I come, both in style and with an illuminating presence. It has been over 3 years since my last visit, and I am so excited to embrace the vibe and culture once again. My visit will mark an impression on Manhattan as the city always seems to do to me upon departure.

Being an avid Gossip Girl fan, I want to enhance my NYC experience and walk in Gossip Girl's shoes. I will mirror their style, represent their creativity and do my best to emulate their fashion.  I will be having dinner on Saturday evening at the Empire Hotel, Gossip Girls' landmark, where I will exude daring behavior as I embrace the ambiance.  Okay, well not exactly, but I had to just write down my thoughts.

My trip will be complete with visiting one of my closest friends, being in great company, eating amazing food and exploring what one of the most vibrant cities in the world has to offer.

Will blog from there!!! Oh and I am so excited to visit Top Shop.

Until Than,
