Over the past year or so, I’ve come to have a pretty amazing collection of shoes (Thank you Finish Line!). I’m not talking about stilettos, pumps, in da club…I’m specifically talking about athletic shoes. I pretty much have something to match every kind of top and bottom combination in my closet…pink, blue, green, black, patterned. I don’t feel bad about it at all. Most women have a mega collection of heels, flats, wedges, boots, etc. I however, have a very focused collection of shoes because it just makes sense for my lifestyle. For me, comfort is the number one thing I look for in a shoe and I am the most comfortable in a gym shoe. Plus- 90% of the time I am wearing some sort of activewear, whether I’m in the gym or just doing my day to day thang.
I am excited to be one of the first people to test out Adidas’s new Pure Boost X Running Shoes! I had them on the other day when my brother was over for dinner and he was SUPER JEALOUS 😉 Talk about a good looking shoe…and comfy too! It’s one of those shoes that’s so cool looking that I don’t want to wear them out at the gym 😛 I’ve actually never seen anything like it. The center of the shoe is detached from the sole with a dynamic foot arch, which pretty much molds to your foot. They’re lightweight, which I am a HUGE fan of and have a super comfortable sole.
Clearly I’m down to wear these guys on the street, but I’m also comfortable enough strapping them on for a run or for strength training in the gym. They are meant for running after all, but I’m all about a dual-purpose shoe.
I wrote up a workout inspired by the versatility of these bad boys. Lately I have been a HUGE FAN of mixing up my workouts by combining sprint circuits with strength circuits. I’d much rather jump on the treadmill, run for a bit, jump off, squat for a bit, back on the treadmill…etc.
Combine two minute treadmill sprints with a strength training circuit for the ultimate full body sprint and strength workout!

Running!
Anything shoulders!!
I love being outdoors and going for a long run! Something about being outside and enjoying nature is relaxing and invigorating!
I love workouts like this — I started class pass about 2 months ago and love trying out different circuit training/HIIT classes. A little bit of strength + a little bit of cardio = a perfect combo!
Nothing makes me feel better than a good sweat – HIIT is where it’s at!
Favorite workout is running.
Outside running.
It makes.me feel so free, and powerful. I just cant live without it!
My favorite kind of workout recently are HIIT sessions. I love to mix it up with different routines and the fact that I can get my workout it any time and any place!
Crossfit! But I’ve been trying to add a run or two in lately too.
My FAVORITE workout at the moment is resistance training followed up by the stationary bike! I like cycling to mix up traditional cardio!
Kickboxing! Cardio, strength training, and some serious stress relief all in one.
