I am not a hiker, I like walking and running and if I’m invited on a hike, I go, but I am not a hiker. My balance is not the best and I am terrified of falling and hitting my head again. However, when my boyfriend invited me on a hike with his family, who … Continue reading That time we got lost in El Yunque Rainforest

The videos in Group 1 are ten minutes long , 20 minutes … Continue reading May Challenge- Bing Out Your Inner Champion with Kickboxing
My life changed drastically so many years ago today, 12 to be exact, yet this day is still so important to me. It was on this day that I showed that I wasn’t giving up, no matter what happened. It wasn’t something conscious, I don’t remember it, but my body didn’t give up that night, … Continue reading 12 years
This is it, week four of the Four Week Cardio Boost with HIIT Challenge. I did the first of this final weeks three workouts today, meaning I only have two workouts left in this challenge.

I’m trying to continue to try and complete a new challenge on Apple fitness every month. This will be my third after completing the 30 day Core Challenge in January and February and the 14 day HIIT and Strength Challenge in March. I wanted to start this month’s challenge early so I began today, on … Continue reading New month, new challenge
Yesterday I finished the first seven days of the 14 Day HIIT and Strength Challenge . That means I only have seven days left in the challenge. The first couple of days went well, I was tired but I had no problems doing either the HIIT or Strength videos. However, the last few became a … Continue reading Small break from the 14 Day HIIT and Strength Challenge
Since I finished the 30-Day Core Challenge in the beginning of February I’ve wanted to try another of the Apple Fitness Challenges, but I hadn’t decided which one I wanted to do. There are a lot of challenges to choose from but I wanted to do something different than the first one I did. I … Continue reading 14-Day HIIT and Strength Challenge- Day 1
I try to workout five days a week every week and that has become a normal routine for me. I have now been trying to squeeze in two different workouts when I have the time, one of the strength, HIIT, Pilates, Lickboxing or Yoga and then either use the stationary bike for anything between 10 … Continue reading 30-Day Core Challenge
I just got home from a two week vacation in New York City, where I had the best time. I didn’t relax, because I don’t think it’s possible to relax in the city that never sleeps, but I had so much fun. I saw so much of the city, places I had never seen the … Continue reading New York City Day One: Brooklyn
When I heard “Tomorrow we’re going to clean the beach”, I immediately said can I come? The answer was yes, as I thought it would be. So I went to bed early last night to wake up at 7 AM today, Saturday, so we could be at Playa Grande- El Paraíso at 8 to help … Continue reading World Clean Up Day
This morning I went running at the beach for the third weekend in a row. I thought maybe today would be difficult because I was tired but it was better than the last two times, or maybe ever? I started running pretty close to where we had our stuff, near the parking lot, I thought … Continue reading Love running in the sand
Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot. It was also very different because it wasn’t the same beach. This beach has suffered a lot more erosion so I either had to … Continue reading Saturday morning run
I did it! I woke up at 6 a.m. this morning to workout and I loved it. I wasn’t working in the morning because I didn’t want to wake up so early but waking up a little bit earlier is better for now. I had forgotten how good exercising first thing in the morning feels. … Continue reading Started my morning workouts again
I know it’s technically not summer yet, but it really, feels like it right now in Puerto Rico. I feel like someone just turned the stove on in my house, at work, everywhere I go and not even air conditioning helps. I couldn’t sleep on Saturday night because of it, even with air conditioning and … Continue reading Working out in summer
