Somehow it's been a few months since I've talked about my workout routine, but today I'm sharing what my sweat sessions have been like lately! Lately I've had a good mix of at-home workouts, outdoor workouts and studio classes. One studio that I've taken classes at a couple of times over the past month is Pure Barre Del Mar. I had taken a break from barre after a foot injury last year, but when the folks at Pure Barre invited me to try out their studio, I felt like it was a good time to try it out again. I've tried a lot of different barre styles - including Xtend Barre, The Dailey Method, and Bar Method (I compared the three styles awhile back here), but Pure Barre in particular was new to me.

Out of all of the workouts that I enjoy doing, boxing is high up on my list of favorites. I just love the intensity and how fast-paced it is. I've gone to a few boxing classes at a Title Boxing Club near me recently, and boy are they tough. After the last one I went to, my abs, glutes, and shoulders were sore for a good three days.

When people ask me what workouts I typically do, I usually rattle off a list of things: hiking, kickboxing, cycling, strength training, yoga, rowing, barre, and so on. I usually follow it up by saying something along the lines of, “I do a lot of different regimens, but I'm not really an expert at any of them." It’s true, I’ve never been into just doing one type of workout. I know that lots of people are strictly runners, or are amazing yogis and that’s their signature regimen, or wherever their fitness passion may lie, but for me, I’ve always wanted to do a bit of everything. I call it exercise ADD, and I figure that as long as I’m moving, it’s good for my body and soul to keep switching it up. Over the past month, I’ve been trying out ClassPass.
