Switch it up!

Once your busy work week is behind you it is easy to let the weekend get the best of you. I usually find myself glued to the TV with reruns of anything 90s and tell myself the gym will be there on Monday, as i stuff my face with delivery food. With nice weather approaching us the infamous "Sunday Funday" rolls around and you may find yourself joining the masses on a patio somewhere with happy hour frozen margs (extra salt, por favor!) and bottomless chips and salsa. Although we love to indulge ourselves in these shenanigans as well, we have started to try and mix up our weekends with something new and exciting and something that gets us active! It's been fun to test the waters and see what we like and what we might just leave to the pros! Looking for something to get you out of the same ol gym routine? Take a peek at what we have on our agendas!


ROCKCLIMBING
This was our first adventure together and we had a blast! Anna had the advantage of length while I had the advantage of small hands and tiny feet finding the crevices a little easier! Dyno-Rock in Arlington, Texas offers a full rental and day pass for around $20 and they were so helpful in teaching us the correct way to work the ropes! It was a killed upper body and core workout and we got to take fun pictures while we were at it! It was one of my favorite things we have done!

SWIMMING
We have actually started adding this into our weekly routines! It is a fun way to change up our normal routine in the gym and is the ultimate full body workout. We thought it would be a fun laid back way to get us active and we were so wrong. I don't think I've ever slept that hard after a workout. The trick is to keep moving! We both have swim experience but are far from Olympic status, so we take it easy with by interchanging some of our favorite strokes and paddle-board kicks to keep us going for the full workout.

HOT YOGA

So, this is on our agenda, and I am excited to see the fool I make out of myself with this one. I'm the farthest from graceful and I'm not a huge fan of the heat so we will see how this one goes. It's great to stretch out your body because flexibility will really help you perform better with weight lifting. So crank up that sauna and lets see how long it takes me to get stuck in the downward sad puppy...

KAYAKING
Anna and I are both pumped for this amazing Texas weather to make up its ever lovin' mind and stay warm for a minute so we can go try this one out! We are both water babies and love the idea of kayaking. It will be an amazing arm workout with rowing and you have to keep your core nice and tight to maintain a balance as to not inhale the unsanitary river water. Plus, we'll get a killer tan in the sun and what girl doesn't love getting a little color in while working out?
