Levees and Lake Pontchartrain

 There are so many things to love about New Orleans, but one of my favorites is the lake front on Lake Pontchartrain. It feels like being on the ocean...and I'm fine with pretending it actually is an ocean. :) I've completed many short runs and training runs and dog walks and walks with friends along the lakefront.

     So naturally it's the setting of one of my quick circuit workouts. Yesterday morning I had about 30 minutes to get in a workout before leaving for the beach! I no longer have a gym membership in New Orleans and I'm still not up for running, so I made up a quick levee workout today.

So with my parents' golden retriever in tow, I started with a 15 minute alternating walk/jog. Then I completed this quick Levee Workout below before walking/jogging for 15 minutes back home.

Quick and Effective!

  If you live near these enormous lakefront levees, you can also get in a fantastic sprint workout. I've completed levee sprints quite often when I only have 20 minutes to work up a good sweat. 

Since I'll be in town for a week or so, I guess I'll be completing a few more of these workouts! 

Question: What do you love about New Orleans? =) 

Good Night!
