6 Fitness Tips for Stress Free Fall Training

  Fall is around the corner; however, we still have many more weeks of hot and humid days ahead. Unfortunately, the weather can make things even more confusing if you’re starting a new training program. Don’t fret! I have you covered. I reached out to the folks over at Six:02 to help put together some essentials to help you train stress free. (Especially if you’re training for their upcoming 6k)! 6 Fitness Tips for Stress Free Fall Training Check out my easy six fitness tips will help you transition from summer to fall and keep you stress free for hitting the pavement. Purchase Transitional Fitness Clothes Purchase fitness clothes for a variety of temperatures. I highly recommend long tanks, as they are breathable, easy to layer and very stylish. Capri tights are always a go-to as they are perfect for any season and workout. Don’t Forget Sunscreen is Vital You can get sunburn in any season so don’t forget to apply sunscreen. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, sunscreen is one of the most vital items used in helping to reduce skin cancer and other skin diseases. Switch Out Shoes Since your feet are slightly bigger in the summer and smaller in the winter, now is the perfect time to have a foot analyst and purchase new running (or fitness) shoes. I recommend always having two sets of shoes as a runner so that you can rotate each week or as needed. Replace or Purchase Workout Essentials Now is the perfect time to replace any old electronics, hydration bottles, socks, towels and other fitness items you may use daily. With newer models releasing and tons of fall sales, stock-up and prepare for the upcoming training season. Hydrate. Hydrate. Eat. Hydrate. Don’t forget to hydrate and replenish the body with healthy seasonal foods after a workout to replenish your hair and body. My go-to post workout meal is a hearty salad and coconut water.   Prep for On the Go Now that fall is around the corner, I am extremely busy with events, trips and meetings. I always keep a protein bar and fruit in my bag to ensures, I won’t reach for the tempting M&Ms while out. Quest, Lara, and Kind Bars are some of the most popular ones. DISCLOSURE: Six:02 sent me several items within this blog post; however, the company did not pay or sponsor my writings. The opinions and text are all mine.

THRIFT IN STYLE – DALLAS RECAP

A woman with true style can wear an outfit from a thrift store and kill off every label wearing woman in the room. That was the motto I learned when attending the first Thrift In Style Dallas event. Thrift inStyle is a new  community for the Fashionably Frugal and host exclusive social events to Thrift, Laugh & Learn the art of looking stylish.  With a bus full of Dallas’ hottest thrifters and stylists and a personal driver, this event aimed to expand the minds and opinions of thrifting in the big city.      The event was co-hosted by Jessica Ayers , Alexandria Gilliard  of The Garb Dynasty Style Concierge, and Prescilla Collins of PresciStyles. The ladies were amazing and so hands on! It was like having a sale for hiring four stylist without paying them individually!!  We went to a variety of thrifting locations such as  Dolly Python,  which is a truly unique and authentic vintage store. For lunch break, we hung out at Klyd Warren Park; which is filled with restaurants, pet area, food trucks, loads of water fountains and play areas to entertain the kids and the kids-at-heart. I ended up eating at the Nammi food truck because I love there Vegetarian Tacos and homemade lemonade. Overall, it was a great event and I will be visiting several thrifting stores in the area. If you are in Dallas area, here are some of the popular thrift stores recommended by the stylists. Salvation Army Thrift Store   12895 Josey Ln #245, Farmers Branch, TX St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store   3052 W. Northwest Highway  Dallas, TX 75220 Thrift Giant 1145 E. Irving Blvd.  Irving, TX 75060 Thrift World  3046 Forest wood Drive Arlington, TX 76006 Thrift World of Dallas  3046 Forest Ln.  Dallas, TX ‎
