A Workout Wrap up from Last Week’s Fitness

Most weeks I have a plan for working out but sometimes my week just rolls along. That's how I felt about last week's workouts.

The four of us try to meet up once a year to reconnect. Usually...

A young friend and I were talking recently and she said “I spent 20 minutes today trying to figure out what to wear to yoga. You should write about workout clothes in Becoming Elli.” I said, “great idea!” Thinking about this made me remember the horrible gym uniforms we used to wear at school. They were one piece outfits with bloomers and they snapped down the front. Why did we wear those things? Anyone else remember them? Anyway, those days are long gone and now we wear whatever we want to work out in. Workout Clothes So here's my quick list of what to wear for a few sports. Yoga I remember my very first yoga class. I had no idea what to expect. I went to the local drug...
