Over the next week, we are featuring things, products, races, classes and places we love. Let us know how you love to cross train in the comments section!
Running is our go-to activity however we love checking out classes and cross training activities. Besides being a vital part of any running schedule, cross training is fun! It makes your muscles and mind work differently.
One of our favorite ways to cross train is to hit some of NYC’s amazing studios and gyms and take classes from instructors who inspire us and make us like a sweaty indoor 60 minute class. We’ve found some kick-ass classes in other cities during our travels as well. Here are a few that we love.
- Fitness/Cardio Classes
- Liz Lefrois is our go-to instructor. She teaches at Equinox locations in NYC. She’s fun and offers a challenging class
- Spin Classes
- Gregg Cook is our FAVE instructor. You feel like an athlete in his classes, which we love.
- Soul Cycle and FlyWheel are fun, sweaty classes
- Best option - get outside and ride in Central Park or Prospect Park
- Bar Classes
- Physique 57 is a fast paced class that leaves you sweaty and tone.
- Bar Method is a bit slower but still tones and lengthens. Check out their SoHo location.
