Fit & Fab

Summer is here!!!! Yay! It's like as soon as it gets warm I feel a surge of adrenaline rush. Summer definitely gets me high. The sense of euphoria. Ice cream, pedicures, walks in the park with my puppy, tank tops, mini skirts.... So ladies and gents, we got to get fit to look fab for the summer. It's not as bad as it seems. A healthy lifestyle should be a way of life. Fitness is inexpensive if you are creative. You just need to zone in on your goal and find innovative ways to get that fabulous body.

1. You don't necessarily need a gym membership.
Remember when you were young, You woke up almost when the birds did to play outside all day. Well, just pretend that you are 12 again. Let's get outside. Memphis has many outdoor recreation parks that are ideal. My top 3 fav spots are:

-Harbor Town Riverwalk....You can walk the island which is 3 mi. or be an overachiever and walk form the island down to the south end which is about 8 mi. long. Take your boo, your BFF, or like me the puppy. If you really want a burst, RUN...YES RUN over the Wolf River bridge. It will definitely burn a few extra calories.

-Ed Rice. This trail is a hidden gem. Located in Frayser on Watkins Blvd. it's a trail with elevated slopes two hills that are great for burning fat and giving your tosh a little lift. The trail is 1.5 mi. total so you can do about 2 laps and your good. At the beginning of the trail, there is a circuit area to stretch, pushups, pullups, and more. I love this trail when I am training for marathons. There are groups of people who workout together for support. Normally, an early morning workout maybe 6 or 7 and evening 5 pm so get out and meet new people.

-Shelby Farms. Everyone goes here. Shelby Farms is a GREAT place to workout. It gives you the feeling of an adventure. I even so a rabbit walking on the trail before so it's definitely outdoorsy.

2. Look fab while getting fit!!!

Workout clothes have come along way. Some of your fav stores have great workout clothes that are comfortable, durable, and most of all CUTE.




Target has a great collection C9 by Champion. They have great prints too. Breakway Athletics located on Union Ave near Smoothie King, also have great running clothes for my fellow runners.
The must haves
1. Sports bra
2. Tank. Be sure that is has built in ventilation material for sweating.
3.Shorts
4. Great shoes. This is very important to prevent injury. Try on as many pairs as possible to make sure it's a great fit.
5. IPOD!! You can download all of your fav songs & just go.


This should be enough to get you started. So get out there and get fit!!! Come back for another issue of Fit & Fab next week. High Society Lifestyle Group will start a fitness group in a few weeks email us for more details. highsocietygroup@gmail.com
