SOLE SISTERS – let’s meet up at the Key Biscayne bridge this Saturday, Sept 2. Meet us at the start of the bridge after the toll in the parking lot at 7am.
If you’ve never run the bridge, you are missing out!
This is my favorite running location. It’s a great workout and the scenery is breathtaking. JOIN US!
Ladies,
It’s been a wet few days and it doesn’t look like the rain is giving up anytime soon. There’s a slight chance of rain tomorrow morning but you never know with the forecast. More so, it may be raining here but not at Key Biscayne and vice versa.
SO, WE WILL REDIRECT THE SOLE SISTERS RUN TO FIU TOMORROW MORNING.
Meet us in our favorite garage tomorrow morning at 7am.
Rain or shine, we will get our sweat in and get a great workout!
FIU! FIU! FIU!
Yes, I call them festivities! Workouts are a celebration of your good health. If you can exercise, then you are lucky! So many people out there are being sidelined everyday with debilitating injuries and health issues – we have to be thankful to have the ability to exercise and work up a good sweat! #noexcuses
SOLE SISTERS

12-WEEK FITNESS CHALLENGERS!!
This Sunday, August 27, join us for WORKOUT #4!
Please RSVP for either 7am or 8am….Another GRRRREAT workout coming your way!
SEE YOU ALL SOON!
…and it’s not the eclipse!
1. YOU’RE NOT EXERCISING ENOUGH
Talk about a vicious cycle: When you feel exhausted, you tend to skip working out, or at least you don’t exercise at the intensity you could. That can make you feel even more tired. IT sounds weird, but it’s true.
A study by the University of Georgia found regular, low-intensity exercise can help boost energy levels, even when people think it won’t.
2. YOU’RE EXERCISING TOO MUCH
There’s a fine line between training hard and overtraining, and when that line is crossed, it pushes the body’s stress response too far. That can result in a number of biochemical responses as the body tries to protect itself. One of those is to slow down several processes — creating fatigue as a result.
One solution is to make sure you’re building rest days into your mix, so that you can fully recover from your workouts, mentally and physically.
3. YOUR GUT HEALTH IS OUT OF WHACK
There’s been a significant amount of research in the past few years about the role of your gastrointestinal system in regulating emotions, energy, immunity and even skin health and chronic disease. All that good and bad bacteria in your digestive tract is central to your health.
When it’s out of balance, it can lead to allergies, lowered immune response, poor sleep and other factors that might contribute to exhaustion. Try stocking your plate with more lean proteins and vegetables — and dialing down the processed stuff, especially sugar and refined carbs.
4. YOU’RE NOT SLEEPING AS WELL AS YOU THINK
Although you might wake up refreshed, that doesn’t mean you’ve gotten a solid night’s sleep. Even a mild case of sleep apnea can keep you from getting the deep sleep necessary to maintain energy throughout the day.
If sleep is fragmented, chances are you’ll experience daytime sleepiness and trouble maintaining your energy, which will consequently affect alertness and concentration. Sleep apnea is very common, and underdiagnosed, so it’s worth talking to your doctor about it.
If you’ve tried other strategies to tackle your energy crisis, a sleep study may be helpful to see if that’s an issue.
In general, feeling exhausted all the time isn’t a normal part of aging or living in a go-go-go society. Addressing stress, getting the right amount of exercise, improving your nutrition and practicing good sleep habits can go a long way.

3. When did you first start training at WOFB and how did you find out about us?
I started training in 2014 with my sister. We saw an ad on Facebook and looked at a bunch of videos together. We thought it was super awesome to see only women training together. We stopped training sometime in 2015, but as time went by I tried other things and nothing could compare. A year went by and I literally sat down and financed myself to save enough money for the masters program. January 2017 here am I again. Thrilled to be back!
4. Tell us about your sports & fitness background: I was very active in high school. I did all sorts of things like dance, softball, boxing and water polo. In college I got super lazy and practically got stuck in books with minimal activity.
5. Favorite Exercise/Workout: I love workouts that involve partners ( resistance or carrying them upstairs ) It’s exciting and nerve wrecking all at the same time because if you stop you drop them!
6. Least Favorite Exercise/Workout: Ughhh pull ups, I’m getting better every day though.
7. What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and overall fitness since starting WOFB?
I have seen so many big changes in my body since I started WOFB. I feel stronger and my body has toned up faster than I ever expected. Most importantly though, I learned, by coming to WOFB and talking to the other women is body positivity. I’ve never felt so comfortable in my body until now. Such a great group of women and so motivating to each other. I feel right at home.
Congratulations Esmeralda! You rock!!! I’ve seen first hand your consistent effort and progress. You are on fire!!! Keep it up. XO
Good morning ladies!
Part of finding success in anything you do, is having the right tools –> PLANNING & PREPARATION!
