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 […]

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 […]

My days consist of going to work for 4 hours, having a 3 hour break, and then going back to work for another 4. This wouldn’t be so bad if I was working in the same city that I live in. So, for the sake of not wasting gas, I use my horrifically long break […]

If you’re anything like me, you own an far too many pairs of leggings. I practically live in them. Given that I’m in the gym 5-6 days a week, it’s fair to say that I go through a lot of leggings each week, so I need a big (if you ask my boyfriend, he’d say […]
Resistance Training Vs. Cardio: Which Is Better?
The age old question(s) when it comes to getting started in the gym: What is better for me to do at the gym; cardio, or weight lifting? Can I do both? What is better if I want to lose weight? Become more defined? Feel more energized? Unfortunately, this is not a this-or- that scenario – […]
