How I Stay Active
Typically, in the colder months, I prefer to workout at home or with my Peloton because let’s be honest – not having to walk in the chilly morning air is the best, but in the summer I’m all about staying moving outside.
Once summer comes around, I like to ride my bike, go for longer walks with Pancake (she’s my Frenchie you can read all about, including why we used a breeder here), take some yoga classes and jump rope outside. RIP to my Peloton activity streaks in the summer, they’re just never as impressive as in the winter…
No matter how I stay active, there’s something about wearing cute matching workout sets that helps me feel like a got a better workout. Anyone else?
Top Summer Athleisure Picks
I absolutely love fun matching workout sets that are colorful and comfortable. Some people love wearing all black for their workouts and while that’s super chic: if I’m going to invest in a new pair of leggings, I typically prefer to pair a more neutral top with fun leggings. Like anything: workout sets are a way to express yourself and even start conversations!
For a few years, I worked out at Pure Barre every morning before work when I worked in the Financial District. One of my best friends I made in that class actually started conversation off the leggings I was wearing, and the rest was history! Sometimes a fun pattern on your legs is the best way to start-up a conversation for a new friend!
