FitBit: The Good Press





The Good Press is now serving "Toronto's best organic cold-pressed juice" and now that I have tried two flavours: the Ruby Tuesday and the Chocolate Milk, I believe that statement to be true!






Although the juices are great, which they are, the açai bowls they offer are not only delicious but they are so filling. I had the classic bowl and a juice after a bootcamp and aside from feeling good about my meal decision, I felt full, which is crucial after my workouts.






Also available for your consumption are vegetable wraps, "live shots", smoothies, and coming soon, something I am so excited about: popsicles!  How perfect would those be for those hot summer days walking around in Yorkville? The perfect snack- delicious and healthy? Sign me up!






Visit the Good Press at 87 Yorkville Ave

Workouts to Get You Through the Holidays

Snowed in? No reason to skip the workout. Here is a list of some of my favourite at-home workouts to help you get through the holidays!

PlyoJam  from FitSugar


 Why I like it?
Its fun! PlyoJam combines dance moves with plyometrics and will help you lose weight, tone your body, and challenge your agility and balance.  

Fat Be Gone - 10 Minute HIIT Workout from FitSugar
 

Why I like it?
HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training and this workout gives you the chance to maximize your workout time while burning a ton of calories. I would highly recommend a mat for this, you spend a lot of time on the ground and you need the support to perform each workout to your full ability! Don't be afraid, you may have never heard or seen some of these workouts but you'll get the hang of it after the first two reps, I promise! 

Sculpted Legs from Blogilates


Why I like it?
You don't need any equipment, just your runners and a small space to give yourself enough room to fully execute the moves. Although at first they may seem easy enough, each workout in this series packs a lot of punch and your booty and legs will begging for mercy at the end of the workout.

Sunkissed ABS Workout from Tone It Up!


Why I like it?
If you need some inspiration, look no further because a workout on the beach will remind you that even though snow is on the ground now, in a few months you'll be hitting the beach again! The instructors have great energy and lets be honest, who doesn't want to have bods like them? I know I do!

Victoria Secret Model Workout: 10- Minute Fat Blasting Circuit from FitSugar 


Why I like it?
Not just because it has Victoria Secret it the name, although it did peak my interest in the first place. The 10-minute workout is lead by Andrea Orbeck who is Heidi Klum's go-to trainer. You don't need any equipment and although its only 10-minutes long you are able to get in a great workout if you're on a tight schedule!

FitBit: Barreworks Toronto

I just have to take a moment to share with you all, my beloved friends, how much I enjoyed my first Barreworks Toronto class.

With not one but TWO locations to serve Toronto's fit crowd on the hunt for the newest workout, "barre babes" can get their fix at the flagship studio located on 625 Queen Street West, 3rd Floor or hit up the new studio located on 2576 Yonge Street, 2nd Floor.

I attended my first Barreworks Mixed Level class with the wonderful instructor Mayumi at the Yonge location and I highly recommend it. The class:
"Our signature class. This 1-hour workout is the perfect balance of muscle sculpting and cardio. Using resistance bands, weighted balls and the barre itself, you’ll work your body from head to pinky toe." 
Lets just say it did, in fact, work my body from head to pinky toe!  





Barreworks Toronto has a wonderful offer for newcomers: $10 for your first class or 2 weeks unlimited usage for $40! Single classes go for $21.

If you're looking for something new and fun I highly recommend a Barreworks class... or 15! You'll feel amazing after, I promise! They also have really cute tank tops to show your love.
