Trying so many new fitness classes in a week gave me major momentum. Upon return from my week-long bonanza, I signed up for Class Pass, something I'd been meaning to do for months. I love that it allows me to continue trying new studios and new types of workouts, ranging from PureBarre (my new favorite, which I now do twice a week) to outdoor yoga in beautiful spaces to "booty brigade" workouts. And no, this isn't an ad for Class Pass — I just enjoy the app that much!

I also bought a bike, which is another thing I've been meaning to do for a while. I wanted to be able to create those "outdoor workout" vibes easily and anytime, and sunset bike rides have now become a staple in my week.

Another thing I've learned — and that really surprises me — is that I enjoy working out with other people. I previously had only worked out alone but taking classes with a group is highly motivating. I've even got my friends involved in my fitness endeavors and we periodically try a new class together (the wine afterward makes it especially fun).

I anticipate that with anything, my fitness motivation will wax and wane over time, but right now I'm on a high and loving it. So, here's to new classes, new workout buds and a newfound sense of pride and power! With that said, I'm off to barre...
