I’ve recommended these shoes to so many people over the years, it’s time for a full post about them.When you exercise, what you have on your feet matters. And not all sneakers are created equally.

Eight tips for taking your first group fitness class - A Lady Goes West
Skip to contentI love that you encouraged people to look through the window; it’s good to know that you aren’t uncomfortable with it.ReplyI started taking group fitness classes about a year and a half ago but really got into it last year when I switched to a gym that offers more class options, including Les Mills.

Three small changes I'm making in my health and fitness this year - A Lady Goes West
Skip to contentThree small changes I’m making in my health and fitness this year!I already shared a little bit about my goals for 2023, and what’s totally different about my goals for 2023 is that many of them are not specific like they’ve always been in the past.Rather than coming up with a bunch of “end/outcome goals” for the year, I’ve decided instead to come up with process changes to my health and fitness.Why? Because I know that the very habits we keep are what determine the changes we make in our lives. If I keep my habits and routines the same, I stay the same.

These are the same ladies that I went to Nashville with this time last year, and I’m so happy we’ve planned another trip together — because I haven’t seen any of them since our last adventure.

Skip to contentHow’s everything? This week was another busy one. I worked, I took Brady to swimming and to tennis, I played tennis for fun, I also played in my second USTA team tennis match (we played a very tough local competitor and lost, unfortunately), I auditioned to teach another program at Life Time (a small-group training class, which I’ll share more about soon and may start teaching this fall), I took Rudy to the groomer, and I did all the other mom stuff with Brady, but our summer days together are numbered.
