MONTHLY FAVORITES FOR APRIL 2017
7:00:00 AM
April is a great month for me. I get to see the Cherry
Blossoms for the first time, and kick start two of my goals. I started running
again and to be able to do this, I had to get up early – hitting two goals at
the same time.
For this month’s favorite, I’ll share with you my workout
app, running shoes and a book about finding your style. Let’s jump straight right
into it.
NIKE
TRAINING CLUB (NTC+)
This is my current favorite workout app. It has sets of
workout for Strength, Endurance and Mobility – pretty much everything. It’s like
a virtual coach. You get to see a demo through a video guide and a voice over
to tell you what to do and cheer you in between. Also, it gives you a log of
your workouts, which motivates me to keep going.
If you are starting out to get fit, this is a good start.
It has set of beginner’s workout which you can do in little as 15 minutes,
there’s no equipment required.
One thing I like about this also is the Active Recovery workout.
For days I can’t run, I use this app to workout at home. Really, with this app,
you have no excuse in getting fit.

This is the running shoes I’m currently using and it’s
the best running shoes I had so far. Disclaimer - I’m no profesh
in reviewing running shoes, so take this at the point of view of a casual
runner. It’s lightweight, has good support, glides well and fits comfortably.
Not to mention, it’s stylish.
Quick tip here! If you’re buying running shoes, makes
sure to buy in store rather online. It’s not just about the size. You need
something with good support and fits well. So you want to try it out, have a
feel of the fit before actually buying one.
I’ve mentioned this book in my previous post.
This book by Jennifer L. Scott, is a guidebook for women on the
path to adulthood, sophistication, and style. In a nutshell, it’s the
story of the author when she went to Paris as an exchange student and the
things that she learned from her host family whom she referred as Famille Chic who took enormous enjoyment
from the small pleasures in life and who appeared to have mastered the art of
living well.
What I love about this book is the 10-
item capsule wardrobe and the chapter where she discussed about Finding Your
True Style. If you’re in the process of finding your style, this book is a good
guide.
That’s about it. I realized it’s important
to find the right tools to reach your goals. I have high hopes with my Nike Training
Club app and my running shoes will really give the boost I need to stick to my fitness
goal. Do you have any tips to help me keep going with my routine? Let me know
in the comments below.
Have a great day everyone!
