The long weekend is upon us and the weather SUCKS. Ryan and I were prepared for this, we booked a hotel room in Fernie for the long weekend because we knew rain or snow was likely and we wanted a warm bed and hot shower if we were going to be out playing in the rain. For the Lethbians (unofficial…
It’s time to get my BodyPump and BodyAttack on folks because I just joined Goodlife Fitness! Did I mention my BodyAttack experience over the Christmas holidays? I went with my super fit mom who works our 4-5 times a week and two of those workouts are BodyAttack. I DIED! I kept stopping to rest or I would do the exercises…
Winter Fit is a series where I interview Canadian fitness/outdoors bloggers and get a first hand look into how they stay fit and motivated during the long cold winter months.

It’s back! How lame is it that I was waiting until I started working out regularly again to begin posting? This week I decided that was garbage and I need to be open and honest with my readers. These past few months have been pretty bad. Stress and a tight schedule have made me lazy and I use them as…
Yesterday I used a half vacation day to stand in the freezing rain for hours. I volunteered to be a Course Marshall for the Lethbridge Stage of the Tour of Alberta. I figured it would be a great way to enjoy the last bit of summer, work on my tan, and enjoy a fun sporting event. Boy did nature have…
On Saturday, I did my first outdoor yoga experience in Henderson Park. This event was sponsored by Bikram Yoga Lethbridge and offered various free yoga classes as well as kids yoga.

Sometimes my job just won’t let me workout. Friday- Hatha Yoga 60 minutes The Helen Schuler Nature Centre in Lethbridge re-opened this week and were doing promotional items including a free yoga class. I flexed my time to try it out.
