Every second and fourth Saturday of the month, Bagby Park hosts Midtown in Motion from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. It's a free fitness class—or sometimes a pair of free fitness classes—designed to get Houstonians outdoors with other community members as they work out.

On Saturday, October 14th, local fitness guru Roz Jones will lead the two-hour sweat session. At 9:30 a.m., she kicks off the first half of her workout: a round of high-intensity interval training (or HIIT). This approach to exercise aims to boost metabolism and encourage a more efficient burning of energy. Then at 10:30 a.m., participants switch tracks and flow through a yoga practice for the next hour. In addition to enjoying a free fitness class, those who participate in Midtown in Motion will also be entered in a drawing to win gift cards to local businesses in Midtown.

The three-pronged athletic endeavor that participants will complete at Wanderlust 108 Houston is a little different than your average triathlon. Instead of swimming, biking, and running long distances, competitors will start with a 5K race, followed by a healthy activity of your choice, like yoga, and meditation.

The fun kicks off with the 5K at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 14th. Once you reach the end, decide whether you want to take part in a round of acro-yoga or hula-hooping. Then grab a healthy, organic lunch at True North Cafe, explore the lineup of arts and crafts vendors, and dance along to music from local bands and DJs. There will also be health-centric speakers and teachers at the post-race festival, so you can spend some of your day deepening your understanding of healthy living. Tickets are $39 for individuals.

If you hate using cookie-cutter pieces when decorating your apartment, then the Vintique Flea Houston is where you should be shopping. On October 14th and 15th, Houston's Silver Street Studios hosts this round-up of local vintage and antique vendors, each fully stocked with one-of-a-kind pieces.

Come to Silver Street Studios to check out the assortment of retro pieces. If you're looking for the final touch for a DIY project that you've been working on, or you need a specific item to polish off a room that's almost completely furnished, the Vintique Flea Houston may be able to oblige. And since everything here is vintage, you'll get a good deal on most of the items. After you find the piece you've been looking for, reward yourself with lunch from one of the food trucks slated to appear at Silver Street Studios. Admission is just $5.
