It’s a brand New Year! Happy 2020. The beginning of a DECADE. Leave the 2010’s behind and let’s start fresh. Now is the time to let go of everything that was weighing you down from the last decade, hit the reset button, and make the next year or 10, count. I usually hate the whole […]

Why You Should Be Seeing A Chiropractor
I’m going to try and make this post as un-preach-y as possible, but having worked for a Chiropractor now for the better part of the last year, I have some knowledge that I feel needs to be put out into the world. First of all, if you’re not seeing a Chiropractor wtf are you doing, […]
Why Attempting To Hit A PR Every Week Is Not An Effective Way To Increase Strength
I know we all love a good 1RM PR. It makes you feel good, boosts the ego a little bit, and makes you feel like all your hard work is paying off… But what if I told you that testing your 1RM every week is probably hindering your long term strength gains? Not only that, […]
BCAA’s – Worth The Investment?
First of all let’s discuss what BCAA’s are. BCAA stands for Branch Chain Amino Acids – which, when defined for non science majors, means essential nutrients that the body gets from proteins found in food (especially in animal products). Generally they include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BCAA supplements are typically used by athletes as they […]
I Tried F45 For The First Time
If you’ve never heard of F45 before, the best way to sum it up would be that it’s a 45min group training class. The classes are built around functional movements that are put together in a circuit/HIIT style of training. They’ve taken social media by storm – in some sort of way I’d say they’re […]
My Story: How I Got Into Fitness

What The Online Fitness Industry Won’t Tell You
I’m not a hater, I promise. I know I rag on the online fitness industry regularly, but it’s mostly because I want people to see that it’s not all as it seems. I AM part of the online fitness community (on a very teeny scale), and I appreciate most of the things that bringing health […]

Become A Push-Up Queen (Or King)
If you’ve been with me since I made my 2018 New Years Resolutions, you’ll know that one of my goals for this year was to get better a push-ups. This goal wasn’t for any reason other than I feel as though being able to do a shit load of push-ups would be hecka badass. Well… […]
Tips For Handling Cravings
I’ll start off by saying that this post isn’t going to go exactly how you would expect it. If you know me at all, or have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I am a huge advocate of balance, and not being too hard on yourself in the diet department (or […]
Dead Butt Syndrome And How To Combat It
“Dead butt syndrome”, or “Dormant bottom syndrome”, although both sound like something your parents made up to scare you out of sitting all day, is a real phenomenon that personal trainers, physiotherapists, and kinesiologists are working to combat in patients every day. Gluteal Anemia, the more scientific name for dead butt syndrome (DBS – lol… […]
