Life in the Slower Lane: Other Things We Like To Do

So, those of you who are reading this might wonder what we like to do besides running. I know I don't have a set schedule, but there are definitely activities that I like to do to supplement my running or just because I think they are really fun. As you might have seen in our biography post, I am definitely more of a strength girl than a cardio girl. So, here are the things we like to do other than running.

Nikki:

1. P90X

Ah, the program that started my love of strength training. Probably never would have picked up a weight if it wasn't for Mr. Tony Horton.

I started P90X in October 2011, and by the time my first round was over I leaned out 10 pounds. Tony and the gang are motivating, challenging, and I definitely changed my opinion of lifting weights as a result of this program. Not to mention, Tony is pretty easy on the eyes.....

2. Yoga

When I started losing weight, I went on Youtube pretty regularly for workout ideas (who knew Youtube was such a great fitness tool?) and yoga was definitely in my normal rotation for a long time. I don't practice as often as I used to, but nothing is more relaxing and makes me feel more at peace than that yoga mat.

3. CrossFit

My newest obsession. While I am definitely not where the awesome lady is that I have pictured here, I love CrossFit because you can scale it to your level and needs. Recently, I caught last year's CrossFit games on ESPN and I was blown away by what those women could do. CrossFit has definitely changed my training and I love every second of it.
