MIND. BODY. SOUL.
It's like a hamster wheel...every January a whole new lot of folks sign up for gyms and studios and classes - hoping to better themselves whether it's to lose weight, be healthy, and/or achieve a fitness goal. Then we have those who have been going on a regular basis, throughout the year, and January is ...
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! ...
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 ...

When you live in a city, spaces are smaller. Schedules are crazier. You are constantly on the go. And some mornings, getting to the gym seems daunting. That's why I find it necessary and helpful to have some workout items at home to use. I feel less pressured on time and know i can get ...
Lacking motivation to get to the gym? It happens. Struggling every week? Stop complaining and do something about it. Change your perspective. Focus on the attainable. Set goals to reach. Small milestones that keep you motivated each week or month. For example, if you have a weight goal to reach, break into chunks so that it is more feasible, ...
Because it's summer and everyone can use some good beats to get us going. Whether it's for a good run, getting stoked to go out with your friends, or just because. Shake your hips to some of the latest trendy songs like "Lean on" and "This summer" or throw it back to classic pump up jams ...
