Back to Schools Shoes Made For Walking

Every year the week before school started, my mother bought me a new pair of shoes. Because I love shoes, I’ve kept up the tradition all these years after graduation. My life involves a lot of walking, so as lovely as they look, high heels are not a staple for me. I have rounded up some comfy yet cute shoes to help you keep on the move in your daily life. Save the heels for evening! I have been a fan of Dansko for years. Easy to kick off when I needed to demonstrate a Pilates exercise and perfect for standing at the counter prepping dinner, clogs have been my mainstay. But Dansko has expanded its footwear line to include boots, both knee and ankle heights, and flats. I’m liking the looks of these Penelope boots ($220). The low heel is a wedge for even more foot support. View Slideshow ›

How Much Do You Pay For Fitness Classes?

At my yoga studio, classes are pretty reasonably priced. Since I teach, I’m given one free class per week, and I pay $13 for every other class I want to go to (a 10-class card costs $130). It’s not exactly cheap, but I just visited a friend, and at her studio, classes cost $20 for a drop-in. And some Bar Method classes can be over $25.

Speak Up: What Did You Eat Today For Breakfast?

FitSugar reader summer m shared her healthy breakfast in the Healthy Recipe Group . Fresh fruit from the farmers market is the best. And Sunday mornings (the day after the market) are perfect for a fresh and simple breakfast of fruit, yogurt and granola. For this quick meal I mixed together some fresh strawberries, raspberries, peaches and fresh figs. Mixed the fruit together and topped my fat free plain Greek yogurt with them, a little Everything Granola and a drizzle of honey. Not sure it gets much better than this. Sounds tasty and healthy! I would like to eat like this every day of the week - not just Sundays - but weekday mornings can be hectic. I’m wondering what you all had for breakfast this morning, and whether it differed from what you ate for your morning meal over the weekend.
