During my trip to New York last week I had the chance to try out a 24 Hour Fitness. In the city that never sleeps, I can imagine that having a gym open for 24 hours a day is quite necessary! There are several locations throughout New York, as well as over 400 locations across the country (which is great if you’re a member and traveling). Have you ever been to one?

I went to the 5th Avenue UltraSport location, which was just a few blocks from my hotel. After a long train ride, I was itching to do burpees sweat. (And I am never in the mood for burpees!) The club was really nice with a ton of cardio and weight machine options, TRX, a steam room, towel service, free WiFi, group cycle, barre classes, BodyPump, and more. Some locations have a kids club too, which I know from experience is so valuable to have as a win-win as a toddler mom!

I rolled in with my headphones and a magazine thinking I’d do a nice little cardio and weight circuit so that I could try out as many machines as possible.

But much to my surprise, I was paired with personal trainer Brandon for a first-timer free fitness assessment – a.k.a. a killer Tabata workout!

Brandon was both a challenging trainer and a funny guy. I had tired legs from the previous night’s soccer game, so we started with a warm-up and foam rolling. But I was once warmed up, Brandon didn’t mess around and put me through over 45 minutes of exercises covering my whole body.

I had to do this set of four exercises 12 times x 3 sets. Note my concentration face 😉

We used the TRX for jumping squats, cones for lateral sprints, benches for high-knee high step-ups, boxing gloves for some punches, and free weights for arms and abs to work a good variety of muscles. In the end, I was SO glad I didn’t spend an hour on the elliptical! Brandon gave me a great taste of all the variety that the UltraSport location offers.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
