Workouts to try this Christmas

Monday, December 10, 2018
Christmas is a busy time of year where we all probably do our worst eating and drinking so it's a fun idea to try some new workouts or workout classes. Not only is it going to be a nice break away from the stress of the holidays you'll feel way better when the holidays are over. Who knows by trying something new you might find something you're obsessed with too! 


1. Obstacle Course: 

Fitset has a ninja warrior obstacle course set up in Kingsway and it's so fun! I got to go in November and had an absolute blast. All fitness levels are welcome and you can adjust certain obstacles but it's super fun to push yourself. 

2. Boxing: 


My favourite workout in the world, there are so many studio's in Edmonton for all levels! If you want to do a more cardio boxing class Champs is where it's at. If you're looking to get a bit more technical panthers is good, and for muay thai you can't beat Frank Lee's. 

3. Rock Climbing: 



A really great workout that's challenging, and very social at the same time. We love Rock Jungle Boulders, but there are quite a few spaces in Edmonton to check out! Bonus: rock jungle boulders allows dogs. 


4. Yoga/Meditation: 


What could be a better way to get away from the stress of the holidays than taking a meditation class or going to yoga?! Perfect way to relax. Lifestyle Meditation studio has different classes for everyone!

Outdoor Workout: Christmas Edition

Friday, December 22, 2017

Well it's not very nice out anymore but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the great outdoors and make your own warmth! Or you can bring this workout indoors and stay cozy. This is a great full body workout for the upcoming days with all the Christmas festivities!!

1. Dips 30s
Hands under shoulders, feet can either be flat on the ground, or bring one up to make it more difficult. Slowly lower yourself down and then push yourself back up.

Hands under shoulders, neck nice and neutral, bring your body down slowly, and press straight up. To make it more difficult bring one leg up, keep the core very tight. 
3. Single leg squats

Dreaming of a Casual Christmas

Monday, December 18, 2017








Outfit: Dress-F21(old), Jacket-Maccs the label via Miss boss , Shoes-Aldo, Rings-Saraswati designs via Miss Boss, and Red Ribbon, Necklace-F21

 Can't get enough of this teddddddy coat! It's so soft, cozy and the colour is great. This combo of blush pink and maroon is so my jam right now. This outfit is perfect for a casual Christmas party, which we have a few of. We also have some fancy ones. We basically have a ton of Christmas parties, dinners and gatherings over the next few weeks. I need some seriously loose fitting dresses and pants. This sweater dress is pretty good to hide the food baby, which is essentially how I plan my party outfits. I love to workout a lot which means I'm constantly hungry! And free food is all the better :)
