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!

I am loving classes that combine a cardio machine and strength in 15 minute intervals. Great workout and goes by so fast!
I’ve been loving Tabata workouts lately! they really great your heart pumping!
I love cardio & HIIT, or zumba classes!
My favorite workout is any type of HIIT class or Bodypump!
I LOVE PIIT workouts! (Pilates intensity interval training)
My favorite workout of all time is playing soccer. Hands down. Lately, i have been also doing spring workouts and bodypump.
I have been really into full body Tabata workouts recently. I’m also just getting into running and signed up for a half marathon in July! Love to alternate running days with full body HIIT/Tabata
I like to run, go to spinning and yoga classes, and make up interval workouts when I’m feeling bored!
My current favorite workout format is anything combining strength and cardio – I love AMRAP style workouts and anything with kettlebells!
I love to mix it up also. Currently doing Body Pump, spin, and Body Attack at the gym. Try to sneak in some yoga and strength circuits when possible. Love Adidas shoes!
