Can you feel that? …The relaxing sensation of an evening summer breeze and late night walks with a salted caramel ice cream cone in hand. Summer is finally here and it’s time to pack your bags for an epic weekend getaway. I’m a sucker for mini weekend trips throughout the summer especially when you’re stuck ...
Are you ready to challenge your body?
It's easy to get a little lazy or think you don't have time to workout. Monday mornings are the hardest in my opinion. You have to go to the office, you probably have a million emails waiting for you, before you even drink your coffee, and the worst part...you have to get out of bed! ...
Fresh Spring Beginnings
Written by contributing blogger, Sonia Sahota. We can all agree that this winter has been one for the books. Thankfully, there is a light at the end of the tunnel…. SPRING is near! Spring is definitely my favorite season of the year. I like to think that spring brings new beginnings. As winter passes, and flowers ...
Take the plank and burpee challenge
It can't be helped. Most of us, even if we are already on a healthy journey, want to optimize our exercise and workout routines in the beginning of the year. Although I typically take spin, pilates and barre classes, and free weights on my off days, I wanted to do more. I decided to add ...
How to keep your resolutions
It's only a little while after the New Year, and I don't know about you but I can already feel the grind of the year. The work week is off to a hot start, our calendars are filling up, and yes, winter is definitely here. Can you imagine walking to the gym in negative temps ...
Same input, same output
...do you really want to be that hamster who's still running on the same wheel, not really going anywhere? I doubt it, cause I sure as hell don't. I had a spin instructor recently say...if you stay at the same wattage, or don't change something about your method of attack for this stage of the ride, ...
Patience with Fitness
Ever think, damn I'm doing so good today. I ate so well. I didn't have pizza, and I had smaller portions than usual. I went to the gym and kicked my own butt. I feel awesome. Then you look at the scale the next day and see absolutely no change and have a large desire ...
Can you Spin to this?
I'm a big believer in spin class. Some people like their yoga, and yes, I find it calming and it definitely helps tone you (especially your arms). However, for me, spin class is where I get my inner yoda on. I feel at peace, with the spin music blasting, the folks cycling beside me, and ...
Is shopping the therapy for you?
In my twenties, anytime I had a tough time with someone or was having a rough time in school or work, I had an itch to go shopping. I wanted an instant satisfaction and feeling of happiness. The thrill of finding a nice new pair of shoes or that perfect top for Friday night...it ...
Why Barre Class has me Stoked
I'm that person who falls over walking. Trips on myself, and constantly spills something on my own shirt. You'd be lucky if it wasn't your shirt. Slightly uncoordinated to say the least, and definitely clumsy. And forget sports like softball...I was the kid who struck out so many times I was afraid to go up ...
