As a continual fitness resolution from last year I am still trying new workouts and fitness studios here in New York City. With only a month into the new year I have already gone to two new workouts and loved both. The two new classes that I took have been on my list of workouts to try for a while. I either couldn’t find the time to attend them or didn’t want to give up one of my beloved classes. I have many different fitness studios and workouts that I love to go to that it’s hard to pick which exercise to do throughout the week. At this rate if I want to attend all of the workouts that I love, I may end up exercising all day, every day. Anyway, I really loved the new workouts and can’t wait to go back!

The Best At Home Workouts
From YouTube to your favorite fitness studio to guide series, there are so many options out there for us to never miss a workout. It’s great for when there is a blizzard outside, for when we are traveling, or for being too busy to get to class. At home workouts have dated back to the Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons era with aerobic and sculpting videos. And any woman (or man) who religious did those videos in the 80’s can tell you, they worked! Now online streaming has become easier for us to get in a good sweat session. I did a few online workouts when I was home for the holidays, even though I went to System of Strength a few times. There were some days I couldn’t get to the studio, it was easier for everyone (sharing cars, plus my niece) for home workouts. I would go down into the basement, turn on one of my favorite online workouts and sweat. Even when I am not on vacation I will stream workouts. Lets say after running I also wanted to get in weights but do not want to pay for a class, I will turn on an at home video to get in my strength workouts. It’s a great money saver!
New York City Workout Guide V. 7

I have to admit that I have been lacking in trying new workouts around the city. Between work and blogging I have not been motivated to try something new. All I wanted to do was go to a fitness class that I am used to so I did not have to think. During October, however, I decided to change my tune and start trying new workouts. It started at an event with Shape Magazine that I found the motivation to emerge myself in new classes again. Here are two new fitness classes in NYC that I have been enjoying and one I keep forgetting to share with you.
Getting Inspired by City Fit Life

There are many people who inspire me for different reasons and in different areas in my life. Whether it’s career, fitness, personal, aesthetics, fashion, and so on, I look up to and get inspired by the people in my life. Today I am partnering with adidas to talk about someone, in my case two people, who inspire me daily, Sarah and Natalie from City Fit Life. You may have heard me talk about my friends on Insta Stories or read about them on the blog; attending their workout classes or one of their events, or even just hanging out. I have known Sarah and Natalie for over a year now and have watched the two of them grow personally and professionally. I, especially, couldn’t be more proud of their growth with City Fit Life. This past year I have watched them work hard as they figure out entrepreneurial life while keeping a positive outlook. Their approach on life and their quest of supporting each other (#megababes) is really why I am inspired by them. They are real about their own struggles with fitness and in life. Their Insta Stories are always filled with funny, relatable memes or inspirational quotes. During their workouts you can tell they are loving what they’re doing; starting and ending with a smile and a laugh. Their positive outlook on life is contagious, and when you mix it in with fitness and
how hard they work, well they are two people whom I want to be like.
