It's pretty easy to tell that I loving living an active lifestyle. On a daily basis I take my dog on a long walk or hike, and do strength training, yoga, kickboxing, barre, cycling, rowing, or any and every crazy workout that comes my way. But running? I can't say that I'm a fan. However, last weekend I had to make an exception and go for a run, but not just a regular old run: San Diego's Fit Foodie 5K race to be exact. When I heard about the event, I knew that it was right up my alley. Put on by Cooking Light and Health, the Fit Foodie 5K race weekend is jam-packed with happenings that seem quite obviously fitting for a girl with a blog called Foodie Loves Fitness, including celebrity dinner and brunch events, a cocktail night, sunrise yoga session and bootcamp class, and a 5K with ...

Train Smarter, Not Harder with Fitwall Workouts
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Fitwall. As you may know, I love to switch up my fitness routine and try new workouts often. I'm always looking for ways to keep it fun and interesting! That's why I'm excited to be adding a new type of workout to my exercise regimen this month called Fitwall.

With a brand motto to Train Smarter, Not Harder, and the unique approach of training the body as a whole to burn mega calories, Fitwall aims to make workouts as efficient as ... [Read More]
