I’m happy to say that I finished the 14-Day HIIT and Strength Challenge on Apple Fitness. This is the second challenge I have tried and finished, so far. I took a one day break after the first seven days of the challenge but if I didn’t, I don’t think I would have finished. I thought … Continue reading Officially done with the 14- 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 did it, I finished the 30-Day Core Challenge on Apple Fitness! When I started the challenge I imagined myself hating the core workouts after one or two weeks but it wasn’t really the struggle I thought it would be. I’m not saying it’s easy, the first week was very difficult and holding a plank … Continue reading 30-Day Core Challenge – Done!
I made it halfway into the 30-Day Core Challenge! I have been following it religiously and haven’t skipped a day, not even on weekends when I usually don’t workout. I thought I was going to be tired of this pretty soon after starting but that has not been the case. These workouts are short and … Continue reading Halfway through the 30-Day Core Challenge
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
Happy 2024! I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far. I’m looking forward to what this year has to offer because, like I said in my last post, I started a few things in 2023 that I wish to continue and hopefully finish this year, like my book. I may have been distracted … Continue reading Happy New Year 2024!
What a year! I don’t even know where to begin. It was a year filled with fun and sometimes not so fun experiences. I started the year with Covid I got during a trip to NYC and Boston. I kept traveling during the year, first to Chicago and then to New York and New Jersey. … Continue reading Bye bye 2023
After running at the beach for four weekends in a row, I broke that new habit today. I still went running, just not at the beach, today I ran at Old San Juan. It wasn’t a long run,just about 20 minutes with a couple of short walking breaks in between , but I was still … Continue reading Practicing mindfulness for the first time
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
After months of not running very much, I accepted the challenge of running at the beach. I hadn’t thought or worried that much about the struggle of running again since I haven’t been running that often recently, I just worried about the heat. I thought maybe it would be very hot, which is why I … Continue reading Running at the beach
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’m proud of myself today. I thought maybe I wouldn’t be able to work out today because it was so hot, around 93 degrees Fahrenheit, but I did it! Just half an hour, with three fans pointed at me, the windows open, and drinking a lot of water. Yesterday I exercised in a room with … Continue reading Let’s try an early morning workout tomorrow
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
I know I change this pretty often but recently found a new sort of workout routine. It’s not really a routine exactly but I found five different types of exercise that I like on Apple Fitness. These are Strength, Kickboxing, Yoga, Pilates, and HIIT. Strength workouts are mostly done with dumbbells and they can target … Continue reading New workouts with strength, kickboxing, yoga, pilates and HIIT exercises
