Friday Faves- February 22nd
Happy Friday! Woke up this morning to a bit of snow...so started out the morning with a little bit of shoveling. Since I was awake and my muscles were warm, I did Jillian Michael's kettlebell workout and finished with a 1 mile incline walk. Glad to have the workout done and out of the way--especially on a Friday! (Because who wants to come home and workout at the end of a busy week?!) Anyways, here are this week's Friday Faves! 1. Cupcake onesies. I made these for a coworker's Read More
Work it
For me, winter workouts can get boring and mundane since I'm usually stuck inside to do them since it's so cold outside and it gets dark so early...wa waaa! I try to keep variety in my workouts by mixing it up with running routines on the treadmill, Jillian Michaels DVDs, challenging cardio/toning workout circuits I see on Pinterest and the occasional group exercise class for some human interaction. But sometimes I just need a little pick-me-up to keep me going...like new workout gear! The Read More

Work It…
In order to record my mileage and hold myself accountable to my New Years resolution, I decided to create a section on the blog to record my workouts. I'm going to try to update it weekly. I'll try to link to the workout where possible, too! So when you visit my blog's homepage at www.the-style-files.com, be sure to click on this icon (located on the right side if you scroll down) to see my latest workouts since I won't be making a post on it every week. This week's workout involved a mix Read More
Early to Rise
During the months when it is semi-decent outside (for me, roughly May through October), I love to run outside! There are tons of great trails in our community, and even our neighborhood has a great route that I use too. I usually sign up for races in the area as something to “train for” and to look forward to. One of my favorite races this year was the Biggest Loser 10k. I got a LivingSocial deal for a great price, and it included VIP status, so my friend and I snagged it up and enjoyed the Read More
