Hi guys! You may remember that I am a huge KIND Snacks fan. My first ever review and giveaway was KIND Bars exactly a year ago. My favorite thing about KIND bars is that they are made with all real ingredients that you can actually pronounce.
My all time favorite KIND Snacks are their Nuts and Spices bars but when I heard about their new Strong and KIND bars I was curious to try! The generous folks over there sent me some to sample AND giveaway.
Happy Friday friends! I hope everyone experienced some great moments this week.
See what I did there? I often write, “I hope everyone had a great week.” But the reality is that not every single moment of every single day is going to be ‘great.’ Our days can get stressful, hectic, or frustrating…traffic, anyone? The important thing to remember is to find those moments of peace, calm, and happiness. The ones that make you stop in your tracks, smile, and breathe in the present moment.
So with that, I hope you all had a few great moments this week.
To celebrate this Friday, because well it’s Friday, I thought I’d share my latest yoga playlist. Continue reading
Happy Monday people! I started my week off with a bang this morning for sure. Some of you may or may not have heard of a new fitness craze called Orangetheory Fitness. These fitness studios are quickly making their way to Connecticut and the Northeast. I kept hearing about Orangetheory in the blog world so was super excited when I found out there was one opening 20 minutes from me!

Orangetheory is a fitness studio that offers group classes which incorporate treadmills, row machines, and weight training.
How Long? Every class is 60 minutes. Awesome!
What do you do? Half the time you are alternating between the treadmills and row machines. The other half you are training in the weight area with dumbbells, trx bands, ab rollers, and more.
Is it the same workout every time? No! Every time you go the class sequence and exercises are different!
Is it hard? Orangetheory workouts are ones that you can put into it what you want to get out of it. Although there are pretty awesome instructors who will be pushing you the entire time.
What makes it different than other group classes? Everyone wears a heart rate monitor which then displays everyone’s stats on a big screen. The goal is to get into the green and orange zones which are the fat burning zones. From the site’s fitness expert: “Backed by the science of post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), our heart-rate monitored training is designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy.” Visit his website here for more details.

I’m loving this new workout and think I’ll definitely continue to incorporate it into my fitness routine. Has anyone else ever tried Orangetheory Fitness?
