A few months ago I did Blueprint’s 3-day cleanse, but after talking to my friend, Nathalie, I decided that I needed to step up to the plate and do the 5-day Renovation Cleanse! I am now on day 3. Renovation Menu: 1. Romaine, celery, cucumber, kale, parsley, green apple, spinach & lemon 2. Pineapple, [...]

Bo-Hi-Do @ Equinox @ 19th
I’m not quite sure if I’m really out of shape, or that Bo-Hi-Do is the hardest boxing class I have ever taken. A combination of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and various strength, core and cardio training — this class kicked my bootie (into shape). I didn’t realize that the class was a full-on boxing class [...]
Sports Club / LA, Rockefeller Center
When I walked into the lobby of Sports Club / LA in Rockefeller Center, I was amazed by the grand entrance, reminding me somewhat of a fancy hotel lobby with a long front desk, which made the one person there look minuscule. After meeting with my member representative, Renee, a fellow Californian, I was given [...]
Thou Shalt Eat
I feel that breakfast is one of the most difficult meals of the day to accomplish. Maybe it’s due to lack of time to shop for breakfast foods; you’re in a hurry or maybe you ate too much yesterday, but for me, if I don’t eat breakfast, come noon and I’m starved and ready to [...]
SELF Workout in the Park
The SELF Workout in the Park is an event I have wanted to attend for five years and on May 9th, I finally made it! Held in San Diego, Chicago and New York City. The NYC event took place in Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield where thousands of women come together for workouts by Crunch, beauty [...]
TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour
My 42 miles of adventure started at 7am when I met my team in TriBeCa. At 8am sharp, we were off! With roughly 30,000 participates, the ride was pretty slow at first, but as we got closer to Central Park the gaps between people became greater. After Central Park, we went through Harlem (for about [...]
Arms with Tim @ Equinox Soho
My friend Nathalie invited me to a 4pm training session with her friend Tim Keleher (thesportingclub.co.uk), and I couldn’t turn down the offer. I guess I really didn’t know what I was getting into, but how can you pass up a free personal training session? Apparently he had found this new great arm routine, which [...]
Blueprint Cleanse: Day 3
After going to bed after midnight on Friday night, I ended up waking up on Saturday at around 11am and I was STARVING! I had an acupuncture facial at 12:30, so I gulped down my first juice and brought my second one for the road. It was 82 degrees out, so I decided to ride [...]
Blueprint Cleanse: Day 2
Today was much less painful than I had anticipated and the juices gave me lots of energy — I think tomorrow is going to be a breeze. The only hard part of this cleanse is that NYC is finally warm (82 degrees tomorrow), so the whole not eating/drinking thing is going to be a challenge [...]
Dancer’s Body: Equinox @ 19th
If you have time to go to Equinox @ 19th during lunch, you must check out Dancer’s Body. From the title, I figured the class would be dancing, but when I walked in to see yoga mats and shoeless people, I didn’t know what to expect, so I followed suit. I took off my shoes, [...]
