Before The Summer Ends, Be Sure To...

...Get Out of Your Exercise Comfort Zone

Pound is a new exercise class that strengthens the core, legs, and upper body. Participants hold lightly weighted drum sticks, called “Ripstix”, and drum to music. It is a new, fun way to “Pound off Pounds” without realizing how many calories you are actually burning. 

Rock UR Body is the revamped version of Zumba. You won’t even realize how hard you are trying (burning up to 1,000 calories per class) because “your work out seems more like a night out”. 

Paddleboard yoga is a brand-new variation of yoga that allows you to tan and tone at the same time: instead of being inside a yoga studio, you are outside, on the water, enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Do not be intimidated by the name- anyone is able to do paddleboard yoga, and all abilities are welcome. 

...Cool Down With FroYo

Frozen yogurt has been around a long time, but recently, it is all the craze.  It comes as no surprise, as this treat is not only refreshing and delicious, but also guilt-free! Some of the most delicious (and somewhat nutritious) stores are Red Mango, Orange Leaf, and Red Cherry, all of which are self-serve with a variety of fresh toppings. 

...Try These Hot Summer Trends

Graphic prints, pencil skirts, and head-to-toe white were some of the most prominent themes on the runway, and can easily be worn in every day life.  Prints can be in the form of any statement making pattern- from leopard to aztec or even floral- depending on your style and comfort level with this trend. Pencil skirts never go out of style, per se, but have been especially popular this summer. It is a must-have transition piece, as it can be worn to dinner straight from the office with just a switch of accessories. Head-to-toe white makes just as much of a statement as fluorescent colors do (which is also another hot trend by the way), so wear your favorite white jeans with a white top, sweater, or tunic next time you wish to be in style and comfortable at the same time.
