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 […]

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
The road I’ve taken to get where I am today in regards to my health and level of fitness has been long, winding, bumpy, and at some points a little hard to follow. I wouldn’t say I’ve even been “unfit” – I don’t have some crazy weight-loss story to share with you, or major turning […]
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 […]
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 […]
What I Eat In A Day – No Restrictions
I talk about how much I eat all the time, and I preach to anyone who will listen about the importance of balance and enjoying yourself food-wise. So, for a little fun, I thought it would be interesting for you to take a peek at what my diet generally looks like on a normal, working […]
Why Waist Trainers Are A Complete Waste Of Money
Waist trainers. Oh dear, where do I start with these things? I hate them, honestly. A waist trainer has claimed to improve posture, and mold ones waist into a smaller one when worn consistently since the 19th Century. Basically, they force the floating ribs upwards (the last couple of ribs that don’t attach to the […]
The Importance Of Eating Good Quality Calories
You may recall my blog post from a week or so ago – you HAVE to be eating enough calories throughout the day to help fuel your body and allow it to function as it should be without the heavy restriction of energy. However, it is important that the calories you are consuming are good, […]
Not Eating Enough May Be Halting Your Weight Loss
Something you hear on the regular is that in order to lose weight, you must either reduce your caloric intake (how much you eat), or your calorie expenditure (how many calories you burn). You hear this a lot because it is TRUE. Weight loss at the end of the day, is nothing more than than calories […]
What’s The Deal With Stretching?
I posted two polls on Instagram earlier this week, one asking “do you think stretching pre workout/during you warmup is good for you/will help improve your performance?”, and “do you consider stretching and warming up the same thing?”. I have to say, I am SURPRISED by the results. 88% of the people who answered my […]
