You may have already started a new fitness routine in the new year now that your schedule has freed up after the holiday season. This means warmer clothing for going to and from the gym, as well as while working out.

Shades of blue and white are hot this year, so why not incorporate them into your new fitness gear? I love mixing these two hues as they have a calming effect. It makes for the perfect fitness ensemble! After all, a little cardio relaxes us! So, let’s go all-out with the outfit too!

This season I have upped my weekly cardio sessions and also have been watching my caloric intake. So far, I have lost five pounds since new years! Love that! So, let’s do this together and stay on track! Plus, why not look cute too? haha

Fall fitness routine

It’s fall! This means moving my workouts mainly indoors and working hard to stay on track. In addition, my fitness gear is getting a little bit cozier so I can properly warm up for my workout.

When temperatures go down, I like to have a cozy sweatshirt and longer leggings so my muscles stay warm and aren’t stiff when my workout begins. It helps to be warm for warm-up! Also, it is good to switch up your workout sneakers every six months in order to ensure proper fit and support. Loving these new sneakers from Nike!

As far as my workout routine goes, it isn’t much different from summer with the exception of sticking to inside fitness versus hiking and outside walks.

  • Monday: BodyCombat (cardio)
  • Tuesday: Rest
  • Wednesday: Spin (cardio)
  • Thursday: HIIT (Cardio and strength, interval)
  • Friday: POP Pilates (Strength and core)
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: Spin, BodyPump, Core (cardio and strength)

Well, that’s my fall fitness routine and I try hard to stick with it. If weather permits, I will try to throw in something outside; especially on a Saturday.

I hope you have a fabulous fall fitness schedule and stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by!

ON Cloud 5 sneakers review

on cloud 9 sneakers review

pictured: ON Cloud 5 sneakers /

So, if you have been looking at people’s feet at the gym and on the streets lately, you may have noticed these sneakers are everywhere! I asked a few of my fellow gym goers how they like their ON sneakers and they all had the same response; “I love them!”

The type of feedback I have been getting from people is that ON sneakers are supportive and comfortable for both fitness activities and walking. OK, I’m sold!

Since I didn’t really need a new pair of gym sneakers, I decided to snap up a pair I can wear for street wear. I chose the ON Cloud 5 in a light, neutral hue. I could tell they would be great in the gym, but I really needed a new pair of street sneakers, so that is how I wear them.

The insole is removeable, so while they are comfortable on their own, I switched out the insole with the orthotics my doctor gave me to treat my planter fasciitis. They fit perfectly and offer the right amount of comfort for a lot of walking.

I recently wore these sneakers to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and also the Computer History Museum. Both activities required being on my feet for several hours and walking around. I was perfectly comfortable and able to complete the entire day both times. Love these sneakers!

While the sole isn’t as squishy as the Hoka sneakers, ON offers ample support and comfort for both walking and gym/fitness activities. Love that!

As for style points, the ON Cloud 5 sneakers come with both shoelaces and stretchy laces which can be used to make the shoes slip-ons. I decided to go with the stretchy laces so I can slip in and out of the shoes without needing to tie laces. This will come in handy for air travel when we go through TSA and need to take off our shoes.

I rate ON Cloud 5 sneakers ten out of ten. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
