I’m 25 and live in Manhattan.
I wouldn’t call myself an expert or a guru…just someone interested in staying healthy, looking good and feeling great.
It’s important for me to maintain a balanced lifestyle because there isn’t just one thing that brings me complete fulfillment – it’s everything put together. I want the seven mile run and heat intense Bikram yoga session plus be able to have time to meet friends for drinks all while planning out a long weekend trip to Beijing…what can I say, I want it all! Living and working in Manhattan makes it possible to get more done by 8am than most can achieve by 8pm – I have learned to maximize my time and more importantly, my energy.
Since I’m not a fitness professional or any kind of time management consultant, I learn by trial and error. Experimenting with different foods, ideas and tricks makes it easy to tailor my life to exactly what works best for ME. I’ll happily dig into a late night cheesecake from Billy’s Bakery and still find motivation to wake up at 3:30am to run a Half Marathon because I work towards balance.
On The Fit Post I write about my favorite recipes, workouts, stores and yoga classes – plus anything else I pick up from living in New York to help you leverage a healthier more balanced life.
