For this workout you will need a set of stairs – I usually tend to go to a set of bleachers near where we live, but the stairs in your house will also work just as well! You will also need a mini band and a weight of some sort – a dumbbell or kettlebell. […]

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 […]
Where Have I Been? A Little Life Update

Alphalete Meridian Leggings Review
I have never purchased from Alphalete before, but I’ve seen so many people raving about them lately that I finally decided I should give them a try (not that I really needed any more leggings/gym wear at all…). Seeing as the leggings I bought are a new release from the company, I figured that seeing […]
Food Is Not The Enemy
Food is not the enemy. It’s summer (yes, I’m still clutching onto it with all that I have) and it seems that everyone falls into the “gotta get a slim summer body” trap. Same, honestly. Around June I started making small changes in my diet to make it a little “healthier” and less calorie dense. […]

How To Get Better At Running

I first started running because I was a wrestler. Wrestling is a physically intense sport that requires a great amount […]

How To Grow & Define Your Glutes
I think I speak for most of us ladies (and gents) when I say that having a large, defined booty is probably in my top 3 physique goals. A struggle I tend to hear from women is that they’re having difficulty actually defining their glutes – especially where they end and their hamstrings begin. In […]
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 […]
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 […]
