By: Sabrina Blajos Open season has a tendency to bring out the competitive nature in us. This is great since we’re already two workouts in.  So many of us have hit PRs that we didn’t think were possible without being put into a competitive atmosphere. With this though we also tend to focus on where we think we should be, rather than being satisfied and accomplished with how far we’ve come. This feeling of personal growth is the true nature of Welded, and that’s what makes it so great.

Our community here at Double Edge is part of this huge accomplishment and we want to thank all of you guys for that. However, the gym is not the only place to “fitnesscise”. Our Backyard is a beautiful place full of many things to do!   Here is the top three outdoor activities for you to enjoy and get your work out in this summer.   Hiking: It is a great way to strengthen your core, gluts, hamstrings, quads and the muscles around the hip and lower leg. It is an awesome way to keep your heart rate higher than normal but lower than a traditional Welded work out. Besides Lake Tahoe has many beautiful trails to try with many levels...Read more
