December is almost here! For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, the holiday season started already in November, and Christmas is only about three weeks away. Holidays usually come with a lot of good food and tend to also mean less working out. But let’s change the latter this year (we still want to eat food, right?) and keep working out … Read more
Hi friends! Hawaii has been nice as always. There are a lot of things that I appreciate my life, and one of them is being able to do most of my work tasks from anywhere. Outside of personal and group fitness training, all I need for my other jobs is my laptop. Even though I wasn’t truly … Read more
I’m traveling right now, and the weather over here hasn’t been all that nice. I don’t have access to my home mini gym right now either, so this morning I headed out for another gym workout. The gym that I went to was absolutely empty when I got there in the early morning, and that … Read more
This past weekend I ended up covering 23 miles on my feet. No, I didn’t run a race, but went out for a hike, or actually, two hikes. Walking is a great way to move your body. The two hikes were pretty different. On the first one we explored Alamere falls in the Point Reyes area. But … Read more
When was the last time you threw off you shoes and walked around barefoot? My last time was yesterday at my local park. I did 6 x 100 meters barefoot sprints on the lawn, then ran back home – also barefoot. And I didn’t feel weird running on the streets barefoot while early birds were going to work. Tom … Read more
Today’s workout is actually something that I put together my friend Amanda. We were roommates back in Helsinki and used to workout together sometimes. Her sister is really into fitness too, so three of us always always had fitness-related things to chat about. But since I moved, we are no longer able to workout together. … Read more
I love full body exercises that don’t require too much equipment. I travel quite a bit, which means that I’m not always able to bring too much equipment with me, and I don’t always have access to gym either. However, I always find the way to workout, because, hey, no excuses, right? Here are some … Read more
Yesterday was a perfect sunny day today here at Bay, and it seems like it’s going to be the same today. Perfect for a nice walk, run or a 30-minute workout outdoors! I love to start my days with a sort run or walk. Nothing special, just couple of miles after getting up from the bed … Read more
Sometimes it feels so much better to work out outside than go to the gym. Many I sure enjoy working out at the gym, but when the sun is out and especially when I’ve been spending a lot of time inside working on my translation projects, I need to get outside. Besides, now when I’m back in … Read more
A lot of people take their tome off from exercise when they are traveling. If it it’s a vacation, they may feel like taking a break from their everyday routine, including exercising. Being on a vacation often means going a bit overboard with food and drinks, and so it happens that in addition to all … Read more
Back in October and November I had a really nice time of traveling. My trip to Hawaii and then California were one of the best I’ve ever had. No, it was the best. I explored the island, met a lot of fun people, had some great food. But I also worked out consistently, five to six … Read more
I workout alone a lot, partly because I like to do it in the early morning, the time that not too many people find best for exercising. I don’t have a problem with it – many times I go out for a run or walk to think my own thoughts, without even bringing any music with me. I also love … Read more
