“You’re crazy.” “That’s insane and impossible.” “Why tf are you doing that.” Those were just a few of the responses I received when I told my friends/family/strangers that I wanted to do a week of working out twice a day. As a full-time employee with a social life, it does seem pretty impossible. But, YOLO. … Continue reading
After shoulder surgery and 6 weeks of inactivity, I decided it was time to raise the fitness barre. I rallied and purchased a one-month class pass for $99 at the River Oaks Pure Barre Studio to get myself back into shape. I chose Pure Barre because the doc refuses to let me do cardio and I knew the classes would be … Continue reading

I’ve been doing yoga in Houston for a while, and because of where I lived I tended … Continue reading
Traffic was terrible. We’re in Houston, we can blame the traffic for everything. I blame the traffic for my incredibly terrible attitude. I was a straight up witch with a B when I walked into Ryde. I acknowledge this. My biggest only beef with this place is it’s parking. You have more than 30 bikes … Continue reading
I’m the casual cycler. I’ve done a few triathlons mostly focusing on the swimming and running (and having fun!), so that means I’ve encountered a bike every now and then. Sometimes in preparation for these triathlons or due to the fact that the 100+ degree Houston weather has forced me inside for a workout, I’ve dabbled a … Continue reading
