July Fitness Favorites

I can’t believe we are now halfway through 2016! Although my sister’s and I are creatures of habit, we do find ourselves obsessed with new discoveries. Here are our July Fitness Favorites.

While Danni has been taking Amino Energy from Optimum Nutrition for a while now, we just discovered they have flavors like vanilla latte, iced chai tea, and iced mocha cappuccino. Not only do we get our energy boost before a workout, but it’s like having a Starbucks drink.

My sister and I go through cycles of new ways to incorporate cardio. Although we love taking spin classes, it’s been hard to find a class to fit our schedule. We recently have been using Assault Air Bike at our gym. They have interval options that guide you through a quick HITT workout. This is an amazing alternative for a quick cardio session that leaves your legs burning.

This might be a strange favorite, but we recently watched the CrossFit Game Championships on ESPN. Watching the women compete was inspiring. I love the power that women like Katrin Tanja and Brooke Ence possess. They also show the world that having muscles is sexy and badass all at the same time.

I’m not sure if the rest of the world has been hit with the Poke craze that has been sweeping LA. Poke is a clean way to get your protein and it typically comes with tons of greens on the the side. They have recently opened a Poke Bar near our place. We have gone an embarrassing amount of times.
