I discovered Mindful March and all that it represents when practicing Yoga at Fit Formula. The teacher Amy brought it up and it got me thinking. I really like the idea of maintaining 31 days of mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment and aware of everything around us. This is often overlooked due to busy schedules and our eyes being glued to our phones, televisions and other devices. Over the holidays lululemon released a great campaign about being present in the moment. Behold… Give Presence.
Working out can be tough on your hair and skin, especially in the bone-dry winter months. Running outdoors means fighting wind chill + wet snow and sweaty workouts equal more showers. A few days ago I talked about active rest days and giving your body some love, which made me think about other things I do and products I use to pamper myself post workout. Here are a few of my faves this month.
The Body Lab has gotten a lot of press lately with write-ups in INK, The Pitch and The Kansas City Star. Now that I have my handy ClassPass membership, I decided to give it a whirl last week. The Body Lab is located in Town Center Crossing but has two other locations in Arizona. The studio specializes in Legree Fitness and the workout is centered around the Megaformer, which is a pilates reformer machine on steroids.
Music really motivates me during a workout or run. Some people can do books on tape but I’m not down with that. When I’m running or cycling, I need high tempo jams to match my cadence. My Marathon Mix is my go-to playlist and I have been perfecting it over the last year. I add new songs that strike my fancy and remove songs that I find myself skipping over (nexting). If you like EDM, I think you’ll love it just as much as I do.
I struggle with taking days “off” and this is partly the reason why I am blogging it. I should practice what I preach so maybe writing about it will hold me more accountable?
