I’ve been riding my trainer’s 4 year old imported dressage horse occasionally lately. We’ve been “jumping” her for a bit of cross training. She’s so naturally curious and brave!

Cross-Training Tuesday: Swim Night
I feel like this picture is misleading, because it was actually really crowded here tonight. Also, that is not the Loch Ness monster in the pool. It’s just someone’s arm mid-freestyle stroke.
Today was a cross training day. I hit up the bike and did some weights before heading over to chick-fil-a for a treat. It's the little things in life.

4. Keeps you lean
5. Tones your gray matter (aka improves mental capacity an decreases chances of/symptoms of dementia)
6. Can inspire you

I want to begin by pointing out that I am not a doctor of any kind. However, I ran a bike shop for years and helped people get comfortable on their bikes.

They have since changed it, but a month free trial included 33 credits and you can “buy” a…
