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 […]

Why I Will Never Go On Another Cruise
Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say never… but definitely not for a loooong long time, or if every single possible alternative way of traveling has been exhausted. Until then, no cruises. I’m slightly disappointed that this is how I feel, purely because every person that I told I was going on a cruise was like “wahaayyy […]
I Used A Menstrual Cup For The First Time
On average, a woman’s period lasts anywhere from three to seven days, and they menstruate from the age of 13 until age 51. Doing the math here, that means the average woman endures about 456 periods during her lifetime – which equals roughly 2,280 days of period time through her life. That’s 6.25 years in […]

They get hit with the dreaded shin splints and they’re then left wondering why the hell they decided to take up exercising in […]

The hip flexors are a group of muscles located anteriorly on the upper and inner thighs, as well as around the pelvic region. They help power pretty much every movement we perform whether that be running, jumping, or even just standing. Our hip flexors need to be strong, stable, and flexible enough to be able […]
Travel Guide: Prague, Czech Republic
This time last year I was bouncing around Europe with my love. I am SAD. We visited England, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Seeing as Prague was one of my favourite places of the whole trip (and we were in Prague exactly one year ago today), I thought I would compile […]
Summer Fruit Salad
I don’t think there is anything easier to make than a fruit salad – chuck from fruit in a bowl with a little glaze and bang, you’re good to go. It was Mother’s Day last Sunday and we were invited to brunch at my boyfriends parents. Being the kind of person that can’t show up […]

Electrolytes: What Are They And Why Are They Important?
As I could feel the salty sweat drying on my face the other day while we were driving home from an intense outdoor workout in the sun we stopped at a gas station to pick up a couple of sports drinks to help replenish our electrolytes. It got me thinking about how little electrolyte balance […]
