Get Out + Get Fit

Headband - lululemon, tank - Nike, pants - Express

Drumroll please:

I have now been leading workouts in the park once a week for over a month!  Tonight will be workout #5.  Crazy!

In honor of this momentous occasion, I plan to switch things up.  Previously this has been the format for 3 out of 4 classes (the other class was yoga, yoga, yoga):

• 5-10 minute warm-up (stuff like jumping jacks and skipping around)
• 10 minutes of core work
• 20-30 minutes of circuit strength training
• 10-15 minutes of yoga

Here's what we'll be doing today...in case you want to try it out for yourself!

Health magazine Fun In the Sun workout - all you need is a beach ball, a frisbee, and a pool noodle!  We'll probably finish up with another 10 minutes of yoga.  Happy sweat session!

Giveaway Results/Art of the Sweataway - Part II

First...congratulations to the great USA on reaching her 235th birthday!  I would post some cool historical stuff, but I know some of my readers will complain...

Second, congratulations to "walkingintherain" for winning the giveaway!  Let me know whether you want Health or Fitness this year and I'll have the subscription coming your way.

Third, here's some more tips for planning your romantic sweataway:

• Rent a bike or two and go for a ride
• Whip up some fresh, easy Italian food (prosciutto with cantelope or real mozzarella with basil, tomatoes and vinegar are super fast and taste phenomenal)
• Make snacks fun and filling...get a whole wheat tortilla, some chocolate or hazelnut spread, peanut butter, almonds, and a banana.  Wrap and devour.  (As a plus, these travel well and don't need to be kept cold.)

Have a healthy, relaxing Independence day!

Hey howdy hey!

In honor of my favorite childhood holiday, from now until Independence Day, I'm running a giveaway on the blog!  The lucky (or rather, random-generator-favored) reader will win a year's subscription to their choice of either Health or Fitness magazine. 

Three ways to win:

1. Follow me using the button on the right.
2. Leave a comment telling me what you'd like to see more of on TheMeghaMix.
3. Use your mad Harry Potter wizarding skills and charm the number generator into spitting out your name.  (Okay, honey, that would be cheating.)

Break a leg!  Or something like that.
