Fitness Find: Rollerskating

Get out your neon and fanny packs!  The weather is getting warm and I'm looking for all kinds of ways to enjoy the outdoors and mix up my workouts!  Sooo I'm back in the 80s with one of my favorite childhood past-times... rollerskating! 

I used to spend hours on my skates... up and down the driveway, into the street, up and down my neighbor's driveways.  I loved it.  And I still do.  So last year I decided that it had been way too long since I owned a pair.  It's time to bust them out!

Chris had a day off... it was sunny and warm... I wanted to get out of the house and be ACTIVE... enter rollerskating in the park!  This can seriously be an amazing workout!  It helps with your balance and coordination, and you really feel muscle toning in your legs and butt!  And of course, it's fabulous cardio!  Mr. Wilbur got a pretty good workout too!  I was surprised how much he enjoyed it.  I definitely plan to spend more sassy spring days rollin' down the sidewalk ;-)

Free Fort Worth Fun: Saturday March 29

Good morning y'all! Once again I'm faced with a fabulous problem... having TOO MANY free events I want to attend in Fort Worth! How amazing is it to live in a city with so much to offer that you can't fit it all in?! I love Funkytown!!

Here's a few things I'll be checking out today!  Be sure to see hi if you're out and about and see me!

1. Free Yoga at The Trailhead

2. Free Cooking Demos in Sundance Square via Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival 10am-5:45pm; click the link for specific times & chefs (other festival events require tickets but are fabulous and totally worth it!)

3. Spring 2014 Gallery Night- click the link for a full program of participating art galleries!  Most galleries will be open from noon - 9pm

4. Brass Tap VIP/Facebook Party (invitation required)

Please be sure to take advantage of these events and remember how lucky we are here in Fort Worth!! What events will you be hitting up?  Do you know of a free event I missed?

Free Fort Worth Fun

It may be a gloomy day but there's still a bunch of FREE activities happening today in Fort Worth!  I just got home from my first yoga class ever at The Trailhead.  I'm not usually the get-up-early-and-go-workout type but I decided to take advantage of a free class!  Trailhead is located along the Trinity River, just across the Clearfork bridge from Hulen Street.  Chris and I discovered this the other day on our walk, and after seeing their Spring Kickoff Lineup, I knew I wanted to come back today!  I struggled a little in the class, but hey, I'm a beginner!  And I was actually told that I didn't look like I've never done yoga before... SCORE.   There's still lots going on over there today, so check it out!

If you're near downtown this morning and early afternoon, check out Sundance Square for the 3rd annual Earth Party!

And last but not least, if there's one event to attend today (rain or shine... seriously, I'll be there!) it's Brewfest on Crockett (West 7th).  Admission is free and there will be live music to accompany a great selection of craft beers (available for purchase).

Hope I see you out and about today!! Let's enjoy all that our beautiful city has to offer!  We're so lucky to have so many events that are free to the public!  I love Fort Worth!
